Winter events have a unique charm—crisp air, cozy atmospheres, and plenty of reasons to celebrate! As we step into 2024, winter event trends are all about creating warm, memorable experiences, whether you’re hosting a holiday party, winter wedding, or intimate gathering. At Details By Gerri's Daughter, we specialize in transforming spaces to fit your vision with beautiful rentals and seasonal decor. Let’s look at the top winter event design trends that will bring a festive sparkle to your next gathering.

1. Winter Wonderland White
Classic and timeless, a winter wonderland theme continues to be a favorite. All-white decor, twinkling lights, and snow-inspired accents create a magical atmosphere. Think white tablecloths, frosted centerpieces, and a splash of metallics like silver or platinum for added elegance. Incorporate snowflake ornaments, white candles, and touches of greenery to make the scene feel festive yet sophisticated.

2. Rustic Lodge Vibes
Nothing says cozy like a rustic lodge-inspired setup. This trend focuses on bringing the warmth of a cabin to your event space with wood accents, flannel blankets, and plenty of soft lighting. Add elements like evergreen garlands, pine cones, and faux fur throws to create a comfortable, intimate vibe. Rustic wooden tables, plaid table runners, and hot cocoa bars will give guests the feeling of being tucked away in a winter cabin.

3. Bold Jewel Tones with Gold Accents
This season, bold jewel tones are making a big statement. Rich colors like emerald green, deep ruby, and sapphire blue add a luxurious feel to winter events. Paired with gold accents, these colors bring a festive yet elegant touch. Use them in table settings, linens, and decor elements like vases or napkins. Jewel tones look especially stunning in candlelight, adding warmth and richness to the setting.

4. Festive Lighting Installations
Lighting is everything in winter events, where creating warmth and ambiance is key. String lights, lanterns, and LED candles can transform a space into a cozy haven. Statement lighting installations, like hanging chandeliers or fairy light curtains, add a magical touch. For outdoor or tented spaces, use heaters and candles to keep guests comfortable and warm.

5. Velvet and Textured Linens
Winter calls for luxurious fabrics, and velvet is a top trend for 2024. Velvet table runners, napkins, or even seating add a lush, cozy feel. Textured linens in rich colors or winter whites add an extra layer of elegance. Consider pairing velvet accents with rustic wood elements or metallic touches to elevate the aesthetic while keeping the warmth of the season.

6. Customized Hot Beverage Bars
Winter gatherings aren’t complete without hot drinks! Create a memorable experience for your guests with a custom beverage bar. Think hot cocoa stations with toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, and sprinkles, or mulled wine and spiced cider stations with festive garnishes. Add mugs with personalized tags or themed stir sticks for a touch of fun.

7. Evergreen and Eucalyptus Decor
Greenery is a beautiful and sustainable decor choice, and winter greens like pine, fir, and eucalyptus add a natural touch to any event. Use garlands of evergreens for table runners, or add eucalyptus sprigs to place settings. For a modern twist, combine these greens with frosted or white-painted branches to capture the winter season’s natural beauty.

8. Interactive S’mores Stations
Bring a bit of campfire nostalgia to your winter event with an interactive s’mores station. Guests can toast marshmallows over a mini flame or tabletop fire pit and create their own s’mores with seasonal ingredients like peppermint chocolate or gingerbread graham crackers. It’s a fun, festive way to add warmth and entertainment to your event.

9. Icy Accents and Crystal Decor
Incorporate the icy beauty of winter with crystal and glass decor pieces. Crystal chandeliers, glass candle holders, or frosted glassware add a sparkling, icy touch that’s perfect for winter events. If you’re hosting an evening event, these pieces will catch the candlelight beautifully, adding a glamorous feel to your celebration.

10. Seasonal Floral Arrangements with Dark Berries
Winter floral arrangements are trending toward deeper, seasonal colors and unexpected touches. Dark berries, like blackberries or cranberries, combined with winter greens and deep-colored flowers (like burgundy roses or deep purple calla lilies) create a rich, seasonal look. These arrangements add elegance to your tables and are perfect for winter weddings or upscale holiday parties.
