Monday Mashups: Steal These Wedding Trends for Your Next Corporate Event

The latest trends in weddings have plenty of crossover appeal for corporate events. BizBash shares what's on the radar of wedding planners, caterers, invitation designers, and editors right now and how you can incorporate these concepts and ideas into your upcoming gatherings!

Instagrammable Floral Arrangements


Floral and event design firm Renny & Reed created a giant pineapple made up of sunflowers as a statement piece for a welcome party on the Ocean Lawn at the Breakers Palm Beach, kicking off an epic wedding weekend. This cheerful pineapple went on to pop up at other events, including a corporate event for Sotheby's International in the Breakers' Mediterranean Ballroom.

Non-Traditional Color Palettes


Destination event designer Stefanie Miles of Dallas thinks the details of this navy and cognac-colored reception could easily fit with events that aren't necessarily nuptials. "Thoughtful touches to dinner place settings (like these personalized leather napkin wraps) could easily translate into showing employees or clients a fresh take on thoughtful attention to detail," she said.

See-Through Seating Chart


Invites aren’t the only way couples are incorporating acrylic into their big day. "One of the most popular designs for this wedding season are acrylic seating charts. On Etsy, we’ve seen a 115-percent increase in searches in the last three months alone," Etsy trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson said. "We’ve seen this trend in fashion and home decor for a while so it’s no surprise that it’s breaking through to weddings. Couples are loving this fresh take on seating charts because it allows for ultimate personalization and a modern take on a traditional reception necessity."

Stock Up


Set up a stocked gifting suite, instead of handing out gift bags: "The new welcome bag is really a welcome lounge, stocked full of essentials for guests," the Knot's Kay said. “By allowing guests to D.I.Y. their own welcome bag, you’re giving them exactly what they want for their stay, and you’re avoiding creating unnecessary waste with unused or unwanted items.”

Take some inspiration from these wedding trends and devour the details of your next corporate event!
