A couple of weeks ago, I attended The Special Event conference in New Orleans. It was four full days of intense classes, plus a trade show featuring new products. My good friend Susan Bogle Kennedy attended with me. Her son and daughter both have weddings planned in the near future. So, she was hoping to see the latest and greatest in wedding trends.
There were some great sessions and ideas. The main theme that most speakers touched upon was “personalization”. We at The Event Group also noticed that trend last year and have encouraged our brides and corporate clients to think about how to personalize their own events. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, either.
For brides, it could simply be your wedding color reflected in your invitation, a specialty drink, your cake, etc. Or having the pattern on your wedding dress replicated on your cake.
For corporate clients, you could showcase your theme throughout your event. The above photo shows a great example of an Asian influenced party.
Look for ways to make your guests feel that your event was thoughtfully planned and executed. You are special, and those special details will show that you are.
