As 2018 has come and gone, the question on everyone’s mind is, “what’s next?”

Well on the way into the New Year, event professionals and marketing experts alike are on the lookout for the top trends of 2019. As innovators, artists, and forward-thinking strategists, it's up to us to have a keen eye for the subtle themes that will last throughout the year and be forever considered as the top trends of 2019.

At 2R Creative, we have seen the rise and fall of trends in both the marketing and event worlds - and seen where they clearly intersect. We like to stay in tune to the changes and evolution of event marketing trends and find ways to stay current with what’s up-and-coming while still maintaining the integrity of originality. Below are some of the hottest hits for events in 2019. Are these three things in your repertoire?



#1: Social Media is still king and everyone still loves a photomoment. In 2019 we’re going to see the evolution of the photo booth. A cool backdrop isn't good enough anymore, clients want to be completely immersed in the photo booth. It's about a spectacular backdrop, flooring that completes the image, props that match the environments, and some moving pieces to complete the experience.



#2: More is more!  Have you seen the rise of the over-the-top MAXimilism decor? It is a trend we have been working with for a couple of years now and it just keeps picking up steam. Neon lights, metallic colors, fringe, more, more, more! It isn’t about clean, pure, minimalism anymore, it’s about over the top design to satisfy the social media needs.



#3: Drones: This technology has been around for a while now, but it hasn’t been until recently that we have seen it for more commercial and entertainment uses. From creating incredible light patterns in the sky to being used to fly products into a room. Drone technology will continue to evolve and offer exciting options in 2019.
