In general, weddings and other celebrations are very personal and should be re ective of the honorees. An event venue is selected based on a person’s likes and desires, and event designers typically use this as a guide when creating the event’s overall look and feel. While we have designed many events in traditional settings such as banquet facilities and country clubs, we are also seeing unique and diverse venues such as barns and rustic or raw spaces. Couples are looking for something that expresses who they are. Currently popular are oral themes that include many foliage types with accents of fresh owers incorporating several tints, tones and textures, as well as cream and blush-pink paired with shades of blue. Going forward, this year’s PANTONE Color of the Year “Very Peri” – will come into play.†is warm and friendly blue hue opens up many possibilities for using natural products. It’s all about the details! In addition to personal owers such as bouquets and wearables (corsages and boutonnieres), designers must create beautiful ceremony décor, as those spaces are the backdrop of many wedding photos. When creating a look and feel for reception tables, Œrst impressions are very important. Using chargers or base plates can create visual impact upon guest arrival. Enhancing the overall feel using fresh owers combined with natural accents such as fresh citrus and veggies is a trend that is returning to the forefront. Remember: owers and décor can completely transform an otherwise simple event space.We pride ourselves on listening to each couple’s needs and considering all of these factors when planning their Big Day! ®
