Red, Green, Blue, and White Holiday Colors
These are the traditional colors of Christmas. A decorated Christmas tree or a wreath for example, will have these colors in some form or another. Velvet red bows for gift wraps, or for a big gift such as a car, a giant 43" bow of evergreen velvet, red velvet giant bow, or gold bows always add a special touch of holiday colors of the season. Using the colors of Christmas on your grand opening ribbon such as bright red or bright evergreen with gold imprint of your company name and logo, or any other commemorative message will be an eye-catcher and a lasting photo or video memento. Depending on the size of the grand opening entrance that will be inaugurated, use extra-wide ribbons of 6", 8", 10" and 12" wide, for a color combination of ribbon and imprint that will pop visually. An 8” extra-wide ceremonial ribbon in holiday red, or holiday green, imprinted with a gold font will show up impressively in person, and in videos and photos. The ceremonial ribbon should be held on each side by stanchions or crowd posts – certainly not other individuals. This last option shows improper planning, aside from rendering your richly imprinted grand opening ribbon, lopsided and difficult to read as different people are holding it, at different points. This is a big No! The proper way to hold and display your ceremonial ribbon is by attaching it tightly to a crowd post on each end of the entrance. Ceremonialsupplies.com offers a selection of stanchions and crowd posts that are sure to fit the holiday bill! The dome top golden stanchion is perfect for the traditional red and gold or red and green ceremonial ribbon. A backdrop step and repeat and an event carpet runner can glamorize the entrance in a Holiday red carpet fashion!
A bright blue ribbon or a white ribbon and the urn top polished chrome stanchion is for a sleek, clean, modern design. The blue and chrome motif also represents Hanukah colors. An extra-wide blue ribbon with white or silver imprint or a variation of this theme, held at each end with jumbo ribbons attached to each stanchion, offers an irresistible placement for your grand opening message! Red carpet entrances don’t have to be red carpet anymore, and at ceremonialsupplies.com you will find the perfect selections and best price points online for carpet runners in holiday red, green, blue, and other colors.
Silver Bells and Gold Ribbons
Bing Crosby dreamt of a “White Christmas”, and brought us the first recording of “Silver Bells,” two of the most widely recognized titles of the holiday season. Granted, we at ceremonialsupplies.com best feel the holiday spirit with Eartha Kitt’s rendition of “Santa Baby", and "Baby It's Cold Outside," by the amazing voices of Dean Martin and Doris Day. When arranging a grand opening event there’s more to stimulate the senses than visuals, and the combination of décor and music are the groundwork of a memorable gathering. The smell of burning incense associated with riches and wealth, such as frankincense and myrrh, greatly valued since antiquity, and known to the western world as the gifts of the Three Wise Kings, is an enhancement to the visual and auditory, creating an experience impossible to forget. It doesn’t matter what your music choice is or what aroma and/or form of delivery is – it may be the scent of fresh pines, or other ideas that are particular to the company, the business, the area, and the time. The point is to bring the spirit of the holidays to your grand opening event, and silver and gold decorations add an ethereal touch to the holiday reds, greens, blues, and whites! Both are colors, and each is a valued metal. Gold represents wealth, riches, and royalty. Silver is a cooler tone that denotes elegance and reflection. Shop gold ribbon, silver ribbon and all other holiday color ribbons at ceremonialsupplies.com, and let us help you create the grand opening ribbon that is right for your holiday event!

Ceremonialsupplies.com has a selection of 25” grand opening scissors and 30” jumbo ribbon-cutting scissors available in golden color blades or silver blades, with any one of different color handles.

Blue handles or white handles on silver blades are colors representative of ice and cold, also associated with traditional holidays. The giant ceremonial scissors – which, actually cut and are quite sharp – and the ceremonial ribbon will stand out in the photos and videos marking the commemorative event. For more private, smaller and traditional grand opening functions we offer the golden handles 10” ceremonial scissors, also available with its own shadow box display case.
Presentation Plaques and Grand Opening Keepsakes
Plaques and commemorative keepsakes are items that go a long way as mementos of enjoyed occasions we relive. Speakers at the grand opening can be presented with a commemorative plaque, and of course, the person or persons who cut the ribbon should receive a special keepsake as well. One advantage in using a giant ceremonial scissors is three; average-size persons can hold it in position. The ceremonial scissors can be held in their own stand before and after the ribbon-cutting, and can be presented to the owner, or the most important VIP in a glass-top wooden display case of rich wood color. The meticulously crafted ceremonial scissors case includes an engravable plaque and brings plenty of room to hold a keepsake sample of the ceremonial ribbon, photographs, and newspaper clippings as well as the ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors.
Maintaining the essential items in a color scheme that easily blends and enhances holiday themed decorations, and including scents and music associated with the holidays, will create a grand opening experience for your guests and participants.
