PartySlate released its trends for 2025, and here is a glimpse of some "in action" at our events: 📈 Overgrown Greenery - Who doesn't love the wild and dreamy look of abundant greenery in freeform arrangements or hanging overhead? 📈 Vintage Glassware - Vintage decor in general has been making a comeback as these personality pieces tell a story. These timeless touches can take your tablescape to a whole other level. 📈 Rattan Accents - Decorative accents and furnishings made of rattan and other natural woven materials bring that laid-back sophistication to a design. 📈 Maximalized Color - We are all for a multicolored palette in an eye-catching mix of tones for high impact and drama! * * #2025EventTrends #DesignTrends #corporateeventplanning #eventtrends #eventdesign #eventproduction #mcadmcgroup #mcahawaii #mcagolocal #loveadmc #meetingspro #eventprof #imaginecreatecelebrate

Let's talk COLOR! Pigments have the power to make us feel a certain way. As we near 2025, here are some trending tones that have been dubbed "color of the year" based on various cultural influences prevalent in society today. 🎨 Pantone named MOCHA MOUSSE its leading hue. This warm, rich brown is reminiscent of the nurturing and pleasurable qualities of chocolate and coffee that we are always seeking. Think of that feeling you get when you cozy up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa this season. ☕ 🎨 WGSN and Coloro selected FUTURE DUSK--a dark, moody blue with a hint of purple that evokes a sense of mystery, escapism, and transition--all relevant signs of the time. 🫐 🎨 Sherwin-Williams has opted for the muted-yet-mighty tone QUIETUDE—a soft, soothing sage with a tinge of blue, possessing tranquil properties that we can all use a little more of. 🌿 Have a COLORFUL Friday, friends! * * #TrendingTones #ColorTrends #2025ColorOfTheYear #corporateeventplanning #eventtrends #eventdesign #eventproduction #mcadmcgroup #mcahawaii #mcagolocal #loveadmc #meetingspro #eventprof #imaginecreatecelebrate

🔥Hot Tip🔥: Having a spirit of service and gratitude is crucial, especially if you work in our industry. A simple "thank you" goes a long way in our world--whether we are expressing our appreciation to our clients, industry partners, or fellow employees. 🙏 Another way we like to show love is by giving back to our communities. Earlier this week, some of our Arizona folks volunteered at St. Mary's Food Bank... an annual tradition that takes place around the Thanksgiving holiday. This year, the team and their fellow volunteers assembled 1,800 bags of food for children in need to take home over the weekends when they don’t have access to school lunches. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos of our detail-oriented jobs. Taking a moment to step away and volunteer our time to a worthy cause not only allows us to pay it forward but also gives us the gift of perspective. 💗 * * #HotTip #GiveBack #Gratitude #corporateeventplanning #eventtrends #eventdesign #eventproduction #mcadmcgroup #mcahawaii #mcagolocal #loveadmc #meetingspro #eventprof #imaginecreatecelebrate

🔥Hot Tip🔥: Many of us got into the business of events because of our love for entertaining. Perhaps you grew up in a household where hosting was a regular happening and you paid attention to the details that made these intimate gatherings extra special. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we thought we'd share some of our holiday tablescaping tips: 🍂 Including a mix of materials--from misshapen ceramics and colored glass, to frayed linen and cane--makes for a luxurious layering of textures. 🍂 Having a familiar element that resurfaces each holiday is a nice way to bring a sentimental touch to your tablescape... whether it's your grandmother's glassware that has been passed down generationally, or festive turkey napkin rings that you coveted years back. 🍂 Fresh florals don't always have to be the default centerpiece. Consider dried botanicals such as wheat and pampas grass in simple budvases paired with an abundance of natural candlelight and fall leaves to accent. * * #HotTip #HolidayTablescaping #corporateeventplanning #eventtrends #eventdesign #eventproduction #mcadmcgroup #mcahawaii #mcagolocal #loveadmc #meetingspro #eventprof #imaginecreatecelebrate
