Fabulous summer event trends to look forward to in 2016

With the days getting colder it’s hard to imagine that in a couple of months spring will be here and we will be thinking about summer events. It’s never too early to start planning ahead, so we thought we would give you some fabulous event trends for spring and summer to get you inspired.

Candy tables are out – donut walls are the new sweet trend

There was a time where every event seemed to have a “candy bar”. This year, it’s all about the donut wall. A donut wall is basically a large panel with pegs attached to it, where fresh donuts are literally hung up for people to come and help themselves. Not only is it a fun and interactive experience for guests, but it looks amazing too. The trend has been seen at weddings and formals, but even corporate events are adding donut walls to the menu, with companies like Facebook catching on to the trend.

Popsicles: not just for kids

When the days become seriously sweltering a freezing cold popsicle will be a welcome treat for your guests. Boozy grown-up popsicles are on-trend for summer 2016, and we’ve even seen Martha Stewart with popsicles served in glasses of champagne (You can read more about that here.)

Event giveaways have moved from things to experiences
The trend this year is all about the experience and that has filtered down even into event giveaways. Instead of giving away a branded umbrella or keyring, events are now offering guests free tickets to experiences such as sports games, zoos, movies and more
