Winter Event Trends & BIG Ideas
by The Revel Group

Revel Decor | Being Joy Photography

Why do November and December get to have all the fun? The merrymaking and mayhem shouldn’t have to stop with the end of the holiday season. We’re swapping visions of sugar plums for event vision boards inspired by the Pantone Fashion Color Report, Fashion Weeks around the world and epic runway shows. Our winter trends are anything but expected.  

 

THE NEW NEUTRALS.

Gone are the days of flat color.

Metallics are the new neutrals- subtle, yet iconic.

These rich, glittering alloys convey glamour and dimension- texture and an artful appeal.

Elevate, reflect, shine.

The BIG Ideas

STATEMENT BALLOONS
A majorly impactful, and fairly inexpensive way to elevate- quite literally- your event.

SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF
The smallest detail can make the largest impact. Identify areas of monotony to shake up and transform. Salt and pepper or a chic seasoning station? Heighten bread and butter  for a carb indulging dream.

THE SMOKING GUN
Add flair and finesse to any dish by capturing smoke in a cloche and veiling your food with an air of mystery- a dramatic appearance, a unique aroma.

BACK TO BASICS
Ice- it’s like diamonds- we’re looking for size, clarity and cut. Sure- regular old ice might keep your drink cold- but we don’t take out our phone to Instagram regular old ice.

TEQUILA

Include a tequila tasting station at your next party – try featuring a silver, reposado, and an anejo. Then surprise your guests with a smoky mezcal.

 

UNDONE GLAMOUR.
It’s that feminine frill with a rock n’ roll heart- sipping tequila from a tea cup- dance party on the antique table- sleep in your party dress-kind of night.

The BIG Ideas

CUSTOM SIGNAGE
What’s old is cool again. Include vintage advertisements to show off your choice of food and bev.

SOFT SEATING
We’re not talking about your grandmothers old banquette- okay, actually maybe we are- that would be perfect.

FLORAL REIMAGINED
Break the rules and showcase floral and other decor pieces in an unexpected ways. Look up, look down, look anywhere but the table top.

CHEEKY STATEMENTS
Say what you mean, mean what you say. Or don’t- and keep your guests guessing all night with a little tongue in cheek decor. And say it with some custom neon.

TEA TIME

Pinkies up- tea infused cocktails put a decidedly feminine spin on your signature drink. Find us over here sipping on a whiskey chai tea milk punch out of a vintage tea cup, of course.

 

A DASH OF FANTASY. A DOSE OF REALITY.

It’s 3 AM in Bangkok and the night shows no signs of surrendering to the sun.
Tonight belongs to the effortlessly edgy, caravan of gypsies- following their own rules.
Tonight, romance and grit mingle under a full moon riddled with possibilities.

Tonight, expect the unexpected.

The BIG Ideas

UNIQUE STATIONS
Use materials available to you, like plates and packaging, to call attention to your stations – functional and funky.

WILD ACCENTS
Liven up the party with a little bit of wild. Animal prints offer just the right mix of sexy and sophisticated. Extra points for mixing prints.

WHIMSICAL SEATING
The rules are out the window when it comes to seating. Anywhere and everywhere can be the perfect place to perch. 

EMBRACE THE GRITTY
You find the spot and we’ll bring the party- the coolest venues are those undiscovered gems just waiting to be broken in to.

FEASTING FANTASIES

Indulge all your Italian fantasies with a feast of the seven fishes spread and prep your palate for the gluttony with a classic negroni, americano or boulevardier or all three.
