Wedding Trends for 2025: Bold, Beautiful, and Unforgettable

by Kellie Chart | Mar 11, 2025 | Uncategorized, Wedding Styling | 0 comments

Weddings are stepping into a new era of creativity and personalisation, and the trends for 2025 into 2026 are nothing short of spectacular. Couples are pushing boundaries with colour, structure, and style, moving away from tradition and embracing unique, show-stopping details. Here is what is what we have found is set to take the wedding world by storm.

Bold Flowers with Impact

Delicate pastels are making way for striking, statement florals. Think rich jewel tones, fiery reds, deep purples, and lush oranges that create a dynamic and immersive atmosphere. Oversized floral arrangements, dramatic installations, and colour-blocked bouquets are in high demand. Whether cascading from an arbour or forming a striking entrance piece, these florals will set the tone for an unforgettable celebration.

Elaborate Draping

Fabric is no longer just a finishing touch, it is taking centre stage. Expect to see grand ceiling draping, flowing fabric canopies, and extravagant backdrop designs that transform spaces into ethereal settings. Layered textures, sheer materials, and luxurious silks will be used to create depth, drama, and an immersive experience that elevates the venue to a whole new level.

Including fruits and Vegetables as Table Décor

Centrepieces are moving beyond flowers, with fresh produce making a bold appearance. Think clusters of artichokes, figs, grapes, citrus, and even vibrant brocoli mixed with elegant greenery for a stunning tablescape. This trend brings a rich, organic feel to the table while offering a sustainable and often locally sourced design element.

Black with lush Tropical Greens

Black is still here for 2025, paired with lush tropical greens for a sleek and modern aesthetic. Whether through black taper candles, chic tableware, or statement black chairs, this combination adds sophistication and depth. Palm leaves, monstera, and ferns bring a fresh, contemporary edge that works beautifully in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Caterpillar and Shaped Tables

Banquet tables are taking on new forms, moving away from traditional straight-line seating. Winding caterpillar-style tables, circular configurations, and wave-like designs create a more intimate and interactive dining experience. These layouts encourage conversation, create visual interest, and make the reception flow effortlessly.

Luxe Minimalism

Less is more, but with a luxurious twist. Luxe minimalism focuses on high-quality materials, clean lines, and carefully curated details. Crisp white linens, modern glassware, and subtle metallic accents work together to create an effortlessly elegant atmosphere. This approach ensures every element is intentional, offering a sophisticated yet understated aesthetic.

At TP Events & Styling Whitsundays, we are passionate about bringing these trends to life. Whether you are drawn to bold florals, unique table arrangements, or modern draping, we know how to make it work at every venue across the Whitsundays. Our extensive knowledge of local spaces means we can advise on what will look stunning, what is needed to enhance the setting, and how to ensure every detail is perfectly executed.

Creating a magical picnic

creating a magical picnic experience

There’s something undeniably charming about a picnic. Whether it’s on the beach, in your backyard, or at a local park, a well-planned picnic can transform any day into a memorable experience.

At TP Events & Styling Whitsundays, we believe that picnics aren’t just for the beach; they’re perfect for celebrating special occasions like baby showers, birthdays, or simply enjoying a lovely day outdoors. Here’s our guide to creating a magical picnic experience that you and your guests will cherish.

Step 1: Choose Your Location

The first step in planning your picnic is deciding on the location. While a beach setting is idyllic, you can also create a beautiful picnic in your backyard, a local park, or even indoors on a rainy day.

**Ideas:**

– Beach: Enjoy the sun, sand, and sea with a relaxed coastal vibe.
– Backyard: Turn your garden into a cozy retreat with comfortable seating and decor.
– Park: Take advantage of open spaces and natural scenery.
– Indoors: Lay out a picnic blanket and set up a spread in your living room for a cozy, weather-proof option.

Step 2: Select Your Picnic Essentials

Gather the essentials you’ll need for your picnic. This includes blankets, cushions, a picnic basket, tableware, and serving utensils. Don’t forget to pack a cooler for any perishable items.

Pro Tip: Use large, thick blankets to ensure comfort and add plenty of cushions for a luxurious feel.

Step 3: Plan Your Menu

A delicious spread is the heart of any picnic. Plan a menu that’s easy to transport and serve. Finger foods, sandwiches, salads, and a selection of drinks are always a hit.

**Ideas:**
– Finger Foods: Cheese, crackers, fruit, and charcuterie.
– Sandwiches: Wraps, baguettes, or classic sandwiches.
– Salads: Pasta salad, quinoa salad, or fresh green salad.
– Drinks: Lemonade, iced tea, and a bottle of wine for the adults.

**Pro Tip:** Make your life as easy as possibe and give Airlie Beach Picnic Company a call – they make up the most beautiful platters suitable for all occasions

Step 4: Create a Stunning Setup

The key to a magical picnic is in the details. Here’s how to elevate your setup:

1. Blanket and Cushions: Lay out a large blanket and scatter cushions for comfort.
2. Tableware: Use stylish, reusable tableware instead of disposable items. Our themed picnic sets are perfect for adding a touch of elegance.
3. Decor: Add decorative elements like lanterns, fairy lights, and fresh flowers. Our picnic and beach decor packages include everything you need to create a beautiful setting.

**Pro Tip:** Incorporate elements that match the occasion, such as pastel colours and baby-themed decor for a baby shower or balloons and party hats for a birthday picnic.

Step 5: Add Personal Touches

Personal touches make your picnic unique and special. Here are some ideas to consider:

**Ideas:**
– Custom Signage: Create a welcome sign or label your food items with cute tags.
– Games and Activities: Bring along games like frisbee, cards, or a portable speaker for music.
– Photo Booth: Set up a small photo booth area with props for fun and memorable pictures.

Step 6: Consider Comfort and Convenience

Ensure your picnic is comfortable and convenient for all guests:

1. Shade: Bring a beach umbrella or a pop-up tent for shade, especially on hot days.
2. Bugs: Pack insect repellent to keep the bugs at bay.
3. Clean-Up: Have trash bags on hand to clean up easily after the picnic.

How to Set Up the Perfect Dinner Party

by Kellie Chart | Jul 15, 2024 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Hosting a dinner party can be a delightful experience, bringing friends and family together for an evening of good food, great conversation, and beautiful decor. At TP Events & Styling Whitsundays, we believe that setting the scene is just as important as the menu.

Here’s a guide to help you create a stunning dinner party setup that will leave your guests in awe.

Step 1: Choose a Theme

The first step in setting up a perfect dinner party is deciding on a theme. Whether you opt for a casual beach vibe, an elegant garden party, or a rustic country dinner, a cohesive theme helps unify your decor and create a memorable atmosphere.

**Ideas:**

– Beach Vibe: Use shades of blue, seashells, and driftwood accents.
– Garden Party: Incorporate lots of greenery, floral arrangements, and fairy lights.
– Rustic Country: Think burlap, mason jars, and wooden elements.

Step 2: Select Your Tableware

The tableware sets the tone for your dinner party. Choose plates, cutlery, and glassware that complement your theme. Don’t be afraid to mix and match textures and styles for a more eclectic look.

**Pro Tip:** For an elegant touch, use charger plates beneath your dinner plates and cloth napkins instead of paper ones.

Step 3: Create a Stunning Tablescape

The tablescape is the centerpiece of your dinner party setup. Here’s how to create a show-stopping one:

1. Tablecloth or Runner: Start with a beautiful tablecloth or runner that matches your theme.
2. Centrepieces: Use a combination of candles, flowers, and decorative items. Our artificial bouquets and arbour floral pieces are perfect for adding a touch of elegance.
3. Place Settings: Arrange plates, cutlery, and glassware neatly. Add a personal touch with name cards or small favours at each setting.

**Pro Tip:** Use varying heights in your centrepieces to create visual interest. Tall candlesticks, medium-height floral arrangements, and low-lying decor pieces work well together.

Step 4: Lighting and Ambiance

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood for your dinner party. Soft, warm lighting is ideal for creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere.

**Ideas:**
– Candles: Scatter candles of different sizes across the table. Our range of candle holders and lanterns can add a touch of sophistication.
– Fairy Lights: String fairy lights around the dining area for a magical glow.
– Dimmed Lights: If indoors, dim the main lights to enhance the ambiance.

Step 5: Add Personal Touches

Personal touches make your dinner party unique and memorable. Consider adding elements that reflect your personality or interests.

**Ideas:**
Custom Menus: Print personalized menus for each guest.
– Themed Music : Create a playlist that complements your theme and plays softly in the background.
– Photo Displays: Set up a small area with photos of past gatherings or themed decorations.

Step 6: The Finishing Touches

Before your guests arrive, do a final walkthrough to ensure everything is in place. Light the candles, start the music, and take a moment to enjoy the beautiful setup you’ve created.

We Can Help!

Planning a dinner party doesn’t have to be stressful. At TP Events & Styling Whitsundays, we offer a wide range of DIY decor items to help you create the perfect setting.
