I like the lighting options. Moreso the uplighting because its less work/less expensive than the christmas lights.
I voted other because I'm saying nothing. I honestly probably wouldn't even look at the ceiling.
Have you thought about draping? http://www.theeventdrapingcompany.co.uk/images/dsc05428.jpg
eta: this inspriation image has uplighting and twinkle lights on it too...
I hadn't thought about drapery, no... But I think it's relatively DIY... I'm thinking tulle with twinkle lights would look amazing!
Like this:
What is your budget for the ceiling decor? You mentioned that $50 for tissue paper was expensive, so there is no point in suggesting things not in your budget.
It's hard to say. Christmas lights if they are done in a messy way can look really....icky :(
What about paper lanterns?
I would think if you hang puffballs or whatever from the ceiling that it would just make them look at the ceiling more, if anything
@julies1949: My budget is below $100.
Thanks for all your help ladies! I think that I'm going to DIY draping, and add some twinkle lights. I found a rental for the lights - 50' for $8, and I live really close to the LA fashion district, so I'll pick up some $1/yard satin. :)

Hi bees!
I'm using my church's social hall for our reception. Thing is, the ceiling is really ugly. They have florescent light fixtures covered with cloth, not hard plastic.
I have a couple ideas for covering the ceiling or making it so you wouldn't even look up at the ceiling.
- strings of tissue paper pom-poms covering the ceiling (very time consuming, and expensive. Would need over 1200 sheets of tissue for about $50)
- Keep the fixed lights off, and string Christmas lights all over. (more expensive, would need about 550 feet of lights, about $120) There are windows, so it would be fairly light without the lights on anyway, and the extra Christmas lights should make it perfectly bright.
- Keep the fixed lights off, use uplighting (about $50 for 4 lights) Not so sure about this option - not sure the uplighting would show up in the daytime.
Ideas and comments very welcome!
