We’re always impressed with our clients’ work, and we’re thrilled to share some of the hottest trends that we’re seeing this year. From eye-catching metallics to bold uplighting, we’re simply inspired by these top trends.
Please Note: Each and every picture under each client is their actual work from a real wedding, event or photo shoot – from floral design, to event rentals, event coordinating & design, cake decorating, down to custom stationery and paper goods- YES! Unbelievable work and talents!
The key to a romantic bridal bouquet is an excess of pretty petals. This is a trend we’re seeing a lot of already this year. Brides are choosing full, feminine bouquets with light colors that accent, rather than distract from, their gown. Our favorite romantic bouquet florals are roses and peonies. A romantic bouquet is a great choice at virtually any wedding.

Milk Glass Vases
Milk glass vases are a trend we can’t help but to love. Crisp, white milk glass vases not only make florals appear more vibrant, but they add a vintage feel to any event. Each glass has its own sense of character in its size, textures, and shape.

Metallic Decor
Metallic decor such adds a glamorous feel to a wedding or event. Whether the accents are silver, bronze, or gold, metallic details are bound to make guests feel as if they are at an event fit for royalty. We love the combination of neutral florals, candlelight, and metallic details.

Church Pews
Right now, one of our favorite trends is the use of church pews for an outdoor ceremony. This trend takes the tradition of a church wedding to contemporary locations.

Vintage China
There’s no doubt that the vintage china trend is one to watch. Not only does vintage china add subtle pops of color to a table, but it will make guests feel warm and welcomed at your wedding.

Chiavari Chair Accents
A popular trend we’ve seen recently is fabric-decorated Chiavari chairs. This trend is so great because it has an endless variety of options. Depending on the style of the event, chairs can be decorated with woven fabrics, ruffled details, and uniquely tied sashes.

Aerial Performers
There’s no better way to wow your guests than to include aerial performers at your event. Aerial dance is an art form that works as entertainment for your guests and aesthetic accent. This is a trend we can’t wait to see more of this year!

Bold Lighting & Interactive Entertainment
Lighting can make or break the appearance of an event. One trend we are loving is the use of bold uplighting paired with interactive entertainment. Utilizing up lighting accompanied by performers that incorporate LED lighting and WOW! It transforms an average room into a memorable escape from reality.

Ombre Cakes
The ombre cake trend is not one that will be going away any time soon! We love the mix of colors these cakes add to weddings and events. The wonderful thing about ombre cakes is they can work for birthdays, weddings, showers, and more.
