Color Trends For 2018: The Rise of Monochromatic Palettes

The color palette is an indispensable resource in event decoration. It brings concepts and themes to life by setting nuances, contrast, and depth. A well-defined color palette has the power to influence the guests’ moods and reactions throughout the event. That’s why you should be careful when it comes to choosing the main colors.

At this moment, you might be wondering: what’s the best color selection for my event? This depends on the occasion and the theme you have chosen. Luckily, 2018 color trends can be adapted to all possible scenarios, because of this year, purple and violet tones presented in monochromatic palettes reign. All you have to do is play with the nuances.

 

Look for mysterious and sensual palettes

Purple is a versatile color; you can use it for weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, and so on. Its tones can provide mystery, elegance, and fantasy to the environment. Besides, purple and violet nuances have a deep influence on the psyche, causing relaxation and charm. It’s like a rare perfume that sticks to everyone.

This color is also associated with nobility, luxury, and spirituality. Cream tones convey softness and romance, while darker tones are related to pride and knowledge.  We recommend to mix cream and dark nuances in the same palette; this will give a touch of balance and avoid arrogance.

And if you need some inspiration, you could start with 18-3838 UltraViolet, the mythical Pantone creation for this 2018, tagged as a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade. A color designed for stunning decorations that tell underlying stories.

At Eduardo Perrone, we use monochromatic purple palettes to highlight special details in a white background. We call this concept Purple Contemporary, when subtlety coexists with royalty, making you feel like you’re part of the Royal family.

How to Decorate the Sweet Stations for Your Wedding?

At Eduardo Perrone, we know that love is sweet. That’s why Sweet Stations are as important for your wedding as the centerpieces. The Sweet buffets enhance the theme of your event and add an original touch to the color palette. Besides, it’s a perfect way to offer a sensorial experience related to the wedding subject.

Before choosing the decoration for your Sweet Stations, make sure that you have already picked the theme, the color palette, the salon and the floral selection.

 

Main tips for designing Sweet Stations

 

  • Candy Bar: this station is usually located next to the Open Bar with a combined background. The Candy Bar only includes types of sweets such as gummy candies, lollipops, chocolate balls, rock candies, taffies and marshmallows.

In this case, your candy selection should be related to the color palette of the wedding (with tone variations to make an engaging contrast). Consider that candies are the main course in this buffet; hence you should use clear containers of different types, and also pedestals. By using these complements, you emphasize shapes and color patterns.

We recommend you to arrange combined napkins, scoops and tongs. Only use the tablecloth as a neutral background for the main decoration of the Candy Bar.

  • Sweet Table: set this station in a spacious table near your wedding cake or next to the Open Bar. A Sweet Table offers pastry and confectionery like mini tarts, cupcakes and ladyfingers.

The color tones of these desserts could be darker than the original color palette; by doing this, you provide a pleasant contrast to your wedding decoration concept.

Besides, complement the Sweet Table setting with a silky fabric or a soft linen tablecloth, depending on the food texture (crunchy and crumbly> silky fabric, creamy and mushy> soft linen). The tableware must look elegant and fine, so only use metallic materials or porcelain. We recommend you to personalize your design with letters, ribbons or garlands.

If you want to intensify the sensorial experience, include interactive concepts like “Choose your favorite toppings” and “Build your S’mores”. By doing this, your guest take on an –even more– active part on your wedding day!

  • Cake Table: your wedding cake is the focal point of your decoration. All the details must be added to highlight its importance. You could use pedestals, LEDs and backdrops. In this case, the floral arrangements have an important role, because they capture your guests’ attention and connect the table station to the wedding concept.
