At the beginning of each year, I like to like to make sure I have a good understanding of current trends in the party industry. While I typically am aware of what is in and what is out, I still find it helpful to dedicate specific time for trend watching to ensure my business is aligned with the future of the industry.
Today, I am sharing my picks for some of the top party trends for 2019. Of course, everyone has a different style and a different take on trends, so feel free to chime in with your picks for top party trends in the comments below!
MODERN ORGANIC DESIGN
This design style balances of a mix of modern lines and crisp white details with natural elements and materials. Modern organic design is comforting, inviting and definitely not stuffy or overdone. While I am still drawn to polished details in the parties I style, lately I have found myself more inspired by simple tablescapes and dessert displays with thoughtful details. An easy way to start incorporating this trend into your parties is by editing out unnecessary details. If it doesn’t add something to the overall design, it has to go!

FRINGE BACKDROPS
This trend started gaining traction in 2018, but primarily with larger scale event installations. In 2019, we will start to see this type of backdrop incorporated into more everyday celebrations, such as birthday parties, bridal showers and more. I love that the possibilities are endless in terms of color combinations and that by simply layering the streamers, it takes a once passé decor item and turns it into something fresh and modern.

ACRYLIC PARTY PROPS
I am a sucker for good party props, and it’s a total bonus when it is an item that can re-purposed over and over again in a variety of ways (think classic white cake stands and timeless dinnerware). In 2019, we will see more party designs start to include acrylic props, such as signage, pedestals, chargers, sweets stands and more. In my opinion, acrylic props are a great investment because they can be customized (and re-used) for nearly party theme!

BABY’S BREATH
I’ll be the first to admit, when I first started in the party industry, I found myself avoiding baby’s breath like the plague in any of my party designs. It brought about feelings of a 90’s era grocery story bouquet, rather than a custom, stylized floral arrangement. However, this flower is making a comeback in a big way! Baby’s breath is so incredibly versatile and also one of the least expensive flowers, so you get a big bang for your buck. In my opinion, the true turning point in making this flower “cool” again was seeing it used in abundance at Mandy Moore’s insanely gorgeous boho-themed wedding. Rest assured, we will see a lot more of this flower in the year to come!

CHARCUTERIE BOARDS
While I have been incorporating charcuterie boards in my parties for years, I am seeing a big spike in this trend as people are figuring out just how easy it is to create one! I personally love creating a charcuterie board when hosting a party because it can be prepared ahead of time, doesn’t require cooking and feeds a crowd! There are tons of ways to create a charcuterie board, from table length spread, to a round board, or even personal sized charcuterie boards for each guest. I also love that you can change up the items on the board based on the season or theme of the party, so even if you serve a charcuterie board for every party you host, it is still different every time.
