Event Trends for Fall 2013

Last week my colleague and I attended RSVP Catering’s Fall and Holiday Open House Tasting at the Anderson House, D.C. The “house” is more of a mansion with it’s grand staircases, marble structures, and statues fit for a museum and, in addition to the delicious food and “Lavender Louvre” cocktail, the decor was beautiful inside the house, and out. Navy and aqua blues filled the backyard garden and complemented a serene reflecting pool.

And blue is just the beginning! Here are some other popular event themes that have been trending lately:

Pink and Gold

Hints of gold have been popping up everywhere on Pinterest and in several blog posts from The Wedding Chicks and Style Me Pretty. I’m loving this feminine look that can be used for showers, weddings, or even a backyard party!

Creative Cake Toppers

I tried my hand this summer at making a cake topper for my birthday cake. It didn’t come out perfectly, but it was an easy and cute way to jazz up a dessert. Check out these beautiful and intricate toppers featured on The Wedding Chicks.

Polka Dots

A classic fashion style turned event decor staple. How is is that dots and confetti make things seem that much more fun?! Creating Couture Parties has a great blog post on polka dot party inspiration.
