Suspended Ceiling Issue

The reception site we chose has a suspended/drop ceiling that I hate with a passion.  My mom & I have decided that we will hang tulle/cloth/net/whatever from the ceiling and are trying to come up with a way to get it up there without using ladders.  We don't mind using ladders to put it up, but not to take it down after the reception when everyone has on dresses and has been drinking.  The highest point of the ceiling is about 14-16 feet high.  Does anyone know of something that would work to easily get it down from that height, and it would be great if there was a non-ladder way to up it up as well.  I tried searching online for something, but was unsuccessful.  Thanks!

  • Do they not have a Event Director at this Vendor site? I would ask them how you can take care of that. I am sure that they may be able to get someone to take care of that.
  • Think of the last five weddings you went to.  Hell, think of the last five parties you went to.  What did the ceiling look like?Can't remember?  Neither will your guests.  Trying to cover it up will just draw attention to it.  De-emphasize the ceiling with good lighting and keep your centerpieces low so people aren't looking up.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
