Spring is the most wonderful time of the year. You have finally gotten past the chilling cold of winter, but you haven’t quite reached the blistering heat of summer. It’s a time when flowers are in bloom, the sky is blue, and colors are seemingly everywhere. With festivities like Easter just around the corner, it’s time to start preparing ideas for all your springtime meetings and events. Use these 3 tips to share all the joys of spring…
Get over the dull, gray winter by bringing in some color! Spring is a time of rebirth and that means fresh, bright colors like yellows, pinks, and greens. Perhaps you can use Pantone’s Spring 2018 Top 12 Color Palette – featuring beautiful, inspiring shades such as cherry tomato, pink lavender, arcadia, little boy blue, and lime punch – for inspiration. Bring the colors of the first blossoms and the clear light of longer days into your event. Attendees will be eager to enter the refreshing spring mood of the venues.
When we think of spring, we always think of doing all the fun, new things that we couldn’t do during the cold winter months. Spring is playful, and the design of your event should reflect that. Try out different combinations of materials to delight and surprise guests: china and glass, gold and silver, subtle and bold… Play with different textures and don’t be afraid of the contrasts. The element of surprise is on your side: amaze and amuse guests so that they’ll want to keep a remarkable memory of your event.
Spring is the season of growth. It’s a time when we all start to think about where we’re going and where we’ve been. Take advantage of the desire for all things nostalgic, with a link to the past, to childhood. Think vintage patterns and designs featuring florals, paisley, or gingham. This blast from the past will make guests feel at home at your meeting or event. And it will also show a playful side: bunnies, eggs, and chocolate will make you recall the games of your childhood. Remember how powerful a tool memories and gamification can be for an event planner.
Charge your batteries with the best spring energy and get ready for challenges of the new season. We’ll be there to help you boost the success in all of your events to come.
