TREND REPORT: 2020 EDITION We round up our favourite trends on the horizon for the year ahead.
Sustainability gets real Sustainability is evolving from a preference to a prerequisite, as consumers and companies alike work towards lowering their environmental footprint. In Eventbrite’s 2019 survey, just 11 per cent of respondents named sustainability a priority for their upcoming events. Just one year later in Eventbrite’s most recent report, a whopping 72 per cent of Australian event planners stated they are focusing on sustainability in their 2020 events. The report revealed 90 per cent of planners are using e-tickets and reducing paper waste, 60 per cent are using reusable or biodegradable items, 38 per cent are offering vegan/vegetarian food and 21 per cent of planners are only working with venues that recycle.
THE STYLE FILES
Blue hues
Italian-inspired
Delicate details
Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2020 is Classic Blue, a “timeless and enduring hue elegant in its simplicity”. Inspired by the sky at dusk, this colour acts as a strong, yet familiar base colour for your 2020 event styling.
Take inspiration from Italy’s Amalfi Coast for your 2020 events. Inject the colour and drama of Positano with touches of green, yellow and terracotta, and be sure to serve up Italian spritz to complete the feel.
There’s no need to go overboard or over budget when it comes to styling, focus on small details that create impact, like high quality glassware and handmade place settings.
