One of the hottest rising trends right now is a “Fire and Ice” themed Prom. The concepts of fire and ice are certainly symbolic, but they are also fun for Prom night because there are countless ways to “spin” these concepts creatively. We’ve put together a list for you of just some of our favorite ideas to bring a “Fire and Ice” theme to life.
DECORATING IDEAS:
A “fire and ice” Prom theme is all about contrast: hot and cold, and dark and light. Keep this in mind when choosing your decorations for this theme. This is also one theme where it is okay to be very literal–think oranges and reds for “fire” and whites and blues for ice.
- Select a complete theme, like Afterglow, which lends itself easily to color changes. Put colored light bulbs inside the columns to create blue columns for “ice” and red columns for “fire.”
- Use Pipe and Drapes to create red or blue fabric backdrops and light them up with Mini Lights.
- Set up fake flame lamps on tables for centerpieces.
- Use color-changing tea lights on your Prom tables.
- Some Chandeliers come with light kits; add different color bulbs to them!
- Cut Gossamer into flame or icicle shapes and suspend them from the ceiling.
- Place Red and Blue Fabric Columns in your Prom space to represent fire and ice.
FAVOR IDEAS:
Once you have selected your decorations, it’s time to choose your Prom favors. Once again, being literal can be very helpful for this task; choose red favors for “fire” and blue favors for “ice.” You can also look for any of our full-color favors and add our Fire and Ice graphic so the elements of fire and ice are combined in one favor.
- Select red and light blue gift bags and stuff them with iridescent tinsel shreds or corresponding colored tissue paper
- Choose Glow Favors to represent either fire or ice
- Look for favors that are available in a variety of colors (sunglasses, lanyards, water bottles) to match your fire and ice theme
- Create full-color favors and invitations (frames, glass tumblers, key chains) by adding our Fire and Ice graphic to any of them
ROYALTY IDEAS:
Your fire and ice theme can also be used to crown your Prom King and Queen! The same color scheme can be used to choose your sashes and robes–even tiaras. And we also offer full-color sashes and crowns to match your favors.
- Use a red sash (fire) for your King and a blue sash (ice) for your Queen
- Choose tiaras with rubies or sapphires for your Prom Queen and Princesses
- Outfit your Court with red and blue sashes OR full-color sashes
No matter how you decide to decorate for your “Fire and Ice” Prom theme, this is a theme idea that has a lot of potential. Be creative and imaginative with your décor, favors, and royalty–it’s sure to show in the end, and your students will love the results.
