<\/span>Tone it down<\/H2><\/p>\nChoosing a color scheme is a key part of the event d\u00e9cor process. Everything should match, contrast, and compliment according to the color palette you choose. Like the rest of the d\u00e9cor world, colors come and go in terms of popularity, particularly when it comes to weddings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAs 2015 warms up, subtle earthy tones are emerging as the palette of choice for event d\u00e9cor, with high emphasis on shades of blue. Rather than simply choosing \u2018blue\u2019, however, d\u00e9cor specialists are suggesting hues like cerulean and dusk blue, and sliding through the color grid towards green by using shades of aquamarine and sea foam.<\/p>\n
If blues aren\u2019t your ideal choice, try other neutral colors like blushing pink, toasted almond, sandstone, sage green, or lavender. 2015 is the year for a natural, earth-toned twist on the previous pastel craze. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Every so often, a decorative trend emerges that totally breaks the norm. For 2015, that trend is paper flowers! You read that right. Some event d\u00e9cor specialists are skipping real flowers all together and opting for bouquets and floral decorations hand crafted entirely from different types of finely made paper. Doing so opens up hundreds of innovative options for color, style, and pattern that aren\u2019t always readily available while working with actual flowers.<\/p>\n
Besides looking gorgeously unique, paper floral arrangements are also quite practical. Your bride won\u2019t have to dry her flowers carefully before storing them away as a memento, and arrangements that aren\u2019t kept can be recycled following the event. Of course, having your paper flowers designed by a professional is ideal so that they contribute well to your over all d\u00e9cor. You don\u2019t want bad paper flowers to detract from an otherwise classy event because they fell apart or were clearly folded by your assistant from printer paper at the office. Using fine paper designs as artistic d\u00e9cor is a diverse option for center pieces as well. <\/p>\n
<\/span>Make it pop<\/H2><\/p>\nThe phenomenon of the \u2018pop-up\u2019 has made its way into the world of event planning and d\u00e9cor! Think of recent shopping trends where companies, particularly designer labels, create \u2018pop-up stores\u2019 to quickly promote products or temporarily sell merchandise where they don\u2019t have a permanent location. The \u2018pop-up\u2019 made its way to the world of food and catering, as well as through several other industries, and event professionals are putting \u2018mini pop-ups\u2019 to use in 2015.<\/p>\n
In the context of event planning and d\u00e9cor, this means making things like food and entertainment mobile so they can be taken to guests, rather than having guests move locations for different parts of the event. This keeps the energy in the room alive because guests aren\u2019t interrupted with instructions to move from room to room. Instead, they can keep enjoying themselves while mini pop-up stations with food, beverages, or activities are set up around them. <\/p>\n
\n\n<\/span>Keep it modern<\/H2><\/p>\nWe\u2019ve all seen pretty pictures of events that are intentionally rustic, reclaimed, and antique chic. D\u00e9cor styles that emphasize things like up-cycled furnishings, however, are slowly fading from the scene in favor of all things modern and metallic. Clean, even shapes and ultra modern dining sets are becoming more prominent in 2015, with a particular emphasis on uniquely shaped seating.<\/p>\n
In addition to modern shapes, trends are shifting toward modern materials as well. Metallic accents are popular, particularly because they blend well with the earthy color palettes that are all the rage right now. D\u00e9cor specialists are starting to work gold, silver, and chrome into modern furnishings and decorative items more than ever before. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
