Reading is the new tweeting in 2019 and the nerdy cool essence is slowly creeping into every cool soiree around town. The speak easy trend of yesteryear brought us bars, dessert buffets and backdrops popping up here and there. Books or not the savvy planner is using lighting and flowers to make use of shelves to add another level to their events.

Books are a colorful way to create an intimate, residential feel at events—even if they’re artificial. Many events around the country, including two of last week’s most high-profile Golden Globes parties, have used paintings, projections, or monochromatic props to create eye-catching faux bookshelves. If these ideas don’t spark joy, we don’t know what does.

A picture says a thousand words and this throwback to the 60s is being used to not only decorate eclectic gathering but also to spark conversations and serve as take-aways for party goers. Add some twine string and clothes pins and you have decor, entertainment and mementos all in one.

Be it acrylic or Plexiglas you can see welcome signs, menu cards, photo backdrops and sign in books all made out of this see through accent. Being cut in all types of funky shapes and sizes, the very best calligraphists are making this trend POP all over Pinterest and beyond.

It all started with a pink champagne sink, YEP you heard it right. And keg tapping champagne is just the beginning. The bubbly never went out of style, but now the champagne toast is getting a whole new flare. From champagne hedge walls ( even ones where mystery white gloved hands pop out to serve you a flute!) and frose spouts we love everything that’s going on here.
