We’re having our wedding reception at place that has a basketball hoop mounted on the wall. The whole backboard is white, so there’s just the orange hoop and the net that are ugly looking. I’ve heard that decorating something you want to hide will just draw attention to it, so I’m not sure if I should even try to hide it with decorations. The tables with the food (buffet-style) will be placed underneath the basketball hoop, so maybe people won’t notice it? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
If you decorate it, it will add attention to it. Just leave it be. Dim the lights and have lots of candlelight instead.

the net can most likely be removed.
i am not sure how this would look, but…maybe you could drape a white sheet over the hoop and gather it at the bottom with a nice rope and tassle. have an artificial flower arrangement to sit on top and drape over the edges of the sheet.

Sometimes they can be raised…have you asked the facility if it can be raised? (that way, it will be way, way out of eye-view…)
But if not, it’s all about lighting. Keep the lighting low-candlelight will keep eyes focusing on what’s generally in their midst.
Just keep your table away from it, and it won’t be in any photos, so it won’t matter a moment. It’s probably more harm than good to even bother decorating it.
