Choosing the right color:

Colors directly emote with the human eye, the key to any good decoration is using the right colors. Depending upon the venue, room or area you intent to do up, choose the appropriate colors. It is always best to choose two contrasting colors to go with the neutral backdrop. So if your walls are light colored, you can choose a contrasting shade that goes with the rest of the setting and a muted shade of the color you just chose. This pattern suits formal occasions very well. So if my walls are ivory or cream I would choose pom poms of say ‘raisin’ and maybe ‘rustic gold/bronze’ to go with it.

For a bright and fun occasion using splashy and bright colored pom poms of varying sizes would instantly set a summery and sportive mood to the party.

Use a shade card to give you a better idea of what to choose. If you’re good with colors, you can try more than two shades at a time.

Size:

Depending upon the setting and where you intend to put them you can choose from a variety of sizes usually 8” & 12” tissue poms are great for smaller spaces and you can use the larger ones for huge open spaces or ceiling decors. Mixing up pom poms of different sizes also give a pleasant visual effect.

Propping:

This is the interesting part. Here’s where you can give wings to your imagination and let your creativity flow. Pom poms are pretty as they are, that they can be easily used and look good wherever they are put.  You can arrange a bunch of them in different sizes and colors and pair them up with a long flowing sash to do up banisters, stairways, entrances and even line the buffet tables.  You can even mix them up with flowers and use them just like flowers. They look good on arches too.  Pompoms are excellent ceiling decoration; use large pom poms along with smaller ones and hang them at different lengths to give the room a nice and warm look.
