The 2012 forecast for event trends is expected to bring new and fresh ideas to the event world! Vivid colors, tasty treats, and a new twist on venues and entertainment, are sure to make for an unforgettable event! We’ve gathered a few new trends for 2012 including, color, venue, and entertainment. Let these new trends for 2012 be a great starting point to let your imagination flow. Let’s get this party started!
Color- Look out for this year’s Pantone Color of the year, Tangerine Tango. This bright and bold color is the perfect pigment to bring any room or event alive. Add tangerine colored floral to your center pieces to add a splash of color. Tangerine also has a softer side, and can be muted with a cream color. For example, you could drape tangerine linen across the table with cream colored sheer.
Venue- From our sources at Bizbash: what was old, is now new! Newly revamped venues are the talk of L.A. for the new year. Newly refurbish hotel ballrooms, restaurants, and theaters will make for new and interesting options for cocktail parties, conferences, meetings, and even corporate meetings. Let the venue space itself be an integral part of your event!
Food- Forget salads and granola…. Comfort food is making its way back and 2012’s food of the year is the potato! From French fries with delectable dips to grilled cheese they are sure to be a big hit at your next event. And don’t forget the dessert, try the newest baked treat and cupcake killer… Canelés! Canelés are small pastries with a custard-like center and thick caramelized crust… Delicious!

Entertainment- While DJ’s and live bands will never go out of style, event planners are now seeking new entertainment outlets. Integrating the DJ with the band will give you an unlimited choice of music for your guest. Also, having a surprise guest artist like your favorite local band or solo artist is a great way to entertain you guests. Another entertainment trend for the year is the revamped party game, like playing your own version of a reality game show! This is a great way to get everyone involved and having a good time at your next event.
With a few new options in event planning, you’ll be sure to wow your guests in the coming year. From tangerine tango, to revamped venues, let this just be a jumping off point for your creativity in 2012.
