Marquee Signs
Spelling out words like “LOVE” and “BAR” or exaggerating initials, marquee signs are being used all over in events. The retro displays can be used as signage throughout the event landscape and as sweet announcements incorporated into any style event. These signs can really personalize your event and stand for something.

Events for a Cause
Charitable events have been skyrocketing in popularity. Event professionals are finding ways to incorporate charitable donations into their events, from using vendors and suppliers that offer incentive-based platforms to offering donations based on participation to organizing community events as part of their marketing strategies. This gets the community involved and benefits everyone.
Shapes and Patterns
Expect to see a greater use of patterns in the coming year. Geometric shapes, fun patterns like houndstooth, floral prints and polka dots are playing a role in many events as designers and clients work to create statement pieces. Color blocking is also transferring from the runway into more events, both with multiple colors and with simple black and white designs, making it a little easier to take those dramatically different colors and combine them into one cover-worthy event. Mix up patterns, colors and shapes for a unique look.

Rustic Modern Décor
The conventional idea of taking a rustic look and adding décor elements to create an upscale appearance is still going strong and will continue through the beginning of the year. Using mirrors, metallic centerpieces, marquee signs and feathers in your décor can add that modern touch to your traditional rustic event complete with mason jars, exposed wood furnishings and farm-to-table catering. Adding an industrial flair to traditionally rustic designs is also increasing in popularity, using rusted pipes, natural stone, chrome finishes and exposed engineering to create a modernized Industrial Revolution-style design.

Unique Venues
Traditional banquet halls and religious institutions have seen a decline in event production as consumers look towards unique venues for their events. The Gatsby sensation of 2013 has turned clients on to venues with opulence and majestic features, such as old-style mansions and country clubs. Clients are also trying to make a statement with their venue by finding unique properties like museums, warehouses, concert venues and college campus hotspots. Pick a venue that speaks to either you as a couple or has a meaning to your event. This is just another way to make the event more personalized.
