What is an event’s “aesthetic?”

When it comes to events, an aesthetic is an all-encompassing term for the party’s theme, feel, and overall flow. There are many different types of aesthetic elements, including visual, taste, experiential, and intangible. Aesthetic elements, when done right, can elevate the life, vibe, and overall experience of your event in seconds, and usually begin with gorgeous, event-specific decor.

Tools and tips to perfect your event decor

Choosing the right decor for an event can be quite the process, especially when it comes to trying other logistical elements together into your overall vision. Below is a list of tools that you can use for your next big day to create a specific, unique, and memorable event aesthetic and decor scheme:

When curating your next event theme and decor, consider reaching out to local vendors in your city or county’s vendor directory. Often, these boutique providers can come up with aweinspiring and jaw-dropping designs or elements that can tie your event’s aesthetic perfectly. They may also be able to work with you and help you find local discounts, perks, or other fivestar vendors that can help you to make your dreams come to life.

While a theme is vital to your event’s cohesiveness and general appeal, it’s important to not let the theme override your creative flow. Feel free to break out of the theme and use elements that can provide extra pop and disruption for an element of surprise and intrigue. These can be done tastefully in the form of centerpieces, differentiated dessert or menu items, and other elements of decor.

When you’re putting together your event’s decor scheme, it’s important to find the balance between the right amount of elements and too many, competing elements. Less is usually more, and it’s the same when it comes to party planning. Incorporating too many elements can distract from the centerpieces laced throughout your event, and may appear to be cluttered or overdone. Stick with a central element that you’ll use as your crowning jewel, and create 3-4 more smaller, consistent elements referenced throughout the event.

The best part about creating a tailored decor scheme is that you don’t have to choose. You can create your own perfectly unique and attractive blend of timeless components that flow well with current cultural trends, creating an overall immersive and engaging experience for your partygoers. For example, you may have a thematic element of the roaring 20’s, embracing the trend of the flapper girls, preppiness, and overall twee-esque looks that are coming back into vogue. You would do this while incorporating a menu of America’s greatest hits from that time along with the timeless gold decor elements that can take your guests right back to 1920’s America.
