2025’s Most refreshing event design trends

Don’t play it safe with neutrals. 2025’s most talked-about events will be the ones bold enough to embrace color and curves.

 

Hi y’all,

After connecting with so many of you at industry events and watching countless stunning celebrations unfold, I’m genuinely excited about where event design is heading in 2025. Three trends in particular are breathing new life into our industry, and I’m here to share why they matter for your business.

🌈 The return of color

I’ll be honest — if I see another all-white wedding, my eyes might roll right out of my head! While classic white will always have its place, 2025 is all about bold, personality-driven color palettes. Today’s couples are using vibrant florals and decor to tell their unique stories. This shift isn’t just refreshing; it’s an opportunity to expand your inventory with colorful statement pieces that can command higher rental rates.

🏠 The home party revolution

There’s a beautiful shift happening toward intimate, residential celebrations. More clients are transforming their homes and backyards into event spaces, creating gatherings that feel deeply personal. This trend opens up exciting opportunities for our industry — think smaller, versatile furniture sets and decor that can adapt to residential spaces. Plus, these events often lead to repeat business as hosts discover the joy of elevated home entertaining.

🌊 Embracing the curve

Sharp edges are out, and soft, organic shapes are in! Curved furniture pieces — from crescent sofas to rounded lounge chairs — are dominating 2025’s most stylish events. These pieces don’t just look gorgeous; they naturally encourage conversation and create more inviting spaces. If you’ve been considering a furniture refresh, now’s the time to invest in pieces with beautiful, flowing lines.

See you next Tuesday,
