What is the new Black?

Trends are a big part of event planning.
Unless you want a more classic feel, trends ensure that your party is not soo last year.
Before I explain what all is trending in the event industry at the moment, I need to say this:  if you are having an important event and you would like for example the color "yellow" to be incorporated, then use yellow. After all that is what is in your heart and it is your party and your dollars.

Too often we see that people choose something because it is in style and it ends up not suiting them or the party. Also, there are classics that are tried and true and sometimes you should just
K.I.S.S. (keep it simple sweetheart)!

With that said, you may still ask: what are the trends?  Well for starters orange is the new black at least when it comes to party decor.














A little too much colour for you? Try it more conservatively. Like this:




















Other "trendencies":
- Cake Pops, Cake Push Pops & Macaroons are the new Cupcakes
- Tablets are the new writing pads for keeping it all orgganized
- Tea based drinks are the new infused vodkas
- Huge balloons are the new wedding decor (as seen in our previous post)
Just to name but a few......

But whether you choose to incorporate the latest trends or not, talk to your planner to find out what will suit your event the best.
