Industrial Cool ... Getting the basics right

Finding the right venue may be the hardest part of the process, but once you've nailed it, everything else just falls into place easily. Dress up the tables with simple flower centerpieces and utilize sheer fabric to balance the heaviness of the bricks and metals. If the venue offers tables with great character, do skip the table linens, and go with translucent table runners. Bits and pieces of decor strewn round the venue are all you need. You will want to keep the overall look raw and a little unrefined.
