Pinterest has changed the way couples want to celebrate. These days, brides and grooms want to be unique, personalizing their celebration to their own tastes as well as giving guests something worth remembering.
In fact, receptions are getting more and more creative—often at the direction and request of clients! We asked several ICA wedding experts on their favorite trends and ways to get creative with wedding tabletops, buffets, and décor.

The Wild and Crazy: When suspended décor meets icy presentation…you get a wild and crazy, yet, very practical showpiece like a hanging caviar bar made entirely out of ice. This ultra creative display really gets your clients and guests really talking.

Champagne Bar: Perfect for morning-after brunches, showers, rehearsals and while the wedding parties prepare for the special day, dress up a champagne station in glamorous elegance.

Action Pasta Station: Take a simple concept like pasta and dress it up to be wedding worthy by incorporating unique ingredients and a beautiful presentation as you cook-to-order guests’ pasta dishes.

Suspended Décor: Whether it’s lanterns, lights, florals or ribbons, suspended décor is one of the most impactful ways to add dimension, atmosphere and beauty to any event venue. Couples are crazy about this décor trend.

Bold Accents: Especially when paired with the long popular shabby chic theme, bold accents (of which gold goes exceptionally well) take an unexpected twist on a very popular, perhaps over requested décor theme and trend.
