‘Tis the season! Well, almost.
Some think it’s taboo to start talking “holidays” before we’ve even celebrated Halloween, but event planners have to live in a completely different world when it comes to the holiday season.We live by the “it’s never too soon to plan your holiday party” motto. And you know what? With all of the added responsibilities the fall and winter bring each year, our clients agree!We are now entering primetime holiday event planning mode, with new corporate events, private holiday parties and winter wedding inquiries coming in every day. This year, the holiday event trends are theme-based, and not just your typical “Winter Wonderland” theme done over and over again.With the growth in popular social media sites such as Pinterest, the craving for creative party themes and ideas is everywhere. And it’s super contagious! Having caught the need ourselves, BG Events and Catering crafted three new and unique holiday party theme ideas, and then we formed exclusive themed menus for each one!Three themes for the Holiday Season 2013:Ski Lodge. Think cozy, think warm, think comforting…this holiday party theme centers around comfort foods with creative twists. We’ve reworked the classics into an extravaganza-worthy cuisine and paired our menus with an exquisite, welcoming and snuggly event design. Warm chocolate browns mix with whites and coppers to turn the cold winter night into an intimate and tranquil scene. Finding inspiration in classic Scandinavian design, your event details—from the wood and winter florals right down to the smallest berries—will captivate guests in the moment.Art Deco. This theme is truly alive with the striking characteristics of the Art Deco era. Indulge in your choice of small, elegant platters or a luxurious buffet of decadence. Treat your eyes to the distinctive patterns and emblematic designs of this iconic era, and give your palate a reason to go back for seconds. The Art Deco period is infamous for luxury and extravagance, so give your guests a celebration of which Gatsby himself would be proud (without breaking the bank!).Winter Solstice. Blue, white and silver hues brighten the chill of winter darkness with this holiday party event idea. This vibrant theme honors the winter season and the symbolic occasion marking the longest night of the year, which, in many cultures, is reason enough to host a celebration. We’re bringing that feeling to Boston with creative winter menus and lively holiday décor maximizing the merriment of your event.Bonus: BG Events and Catering is offering a freebie this holiday season.
