2 TREND . BALLOON
INSTALLATIONS
PUFFED UP - Mia Today’s weddings have become part of a “visual” industry. Social media platforms have everyone yearning to create the picture perfect backdrop, using a variety of mediums. Balloon decor has been around for years and has grounded itself as a staple in the special event industry. But today’s balloons are much more than clowns making animal shapes. Organic balloon decor creates a luxury look that can elevate any event. Designs are completely customizable to fit any theme or style. Color choices are abundant, and balloons can be paired with hard and soft scapes to create a variety of finished looks. And, because of the sheer size of balloons, the impact made by an organic creation can be far greater than with other types of backgrounds, making balloons a budget friendly choice. This trend is not going away anytime soon!

3 TREND . CHARCUTERIE
SAGE + BERRY - Kristen I first discovered charcuterie when I lived in Australia. They were called grazing tables there, but here they are more often referred to as charcuterie tables or boards. Now this trend has taken the wedding world in America by storm. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it. The artisanal quality of charcuterie tables is making everyone want one at their events. The artistry that the tables present take your event to a whole new level. Not only are they beautiful, but they are delicious, too! So many options for everyone – easily customizable for any type of event, wedding or theme.
