8 top party trends for 2018...



ultra violet colour of the year 2018

1) 2018 Colour of the Year:

Pantones colour for 2018 is “Ultra Violet,” a blue-based purple shade that’s supposed to evoke “mindfulness, spirituality, creativity, experimentation, and non-conformity.” Parties and events will be enhanced with the rich violet colours, mixed with succulent golds, navy, greens and complimentary pastel shades. We love this beautiful colour which will give depth and warm to any party!

2) Hula hoop wreaths

Wow these are amazing, and can easily be a D.I.Y project to set yourself! From festive themed to wedding these simple hoops give a modern twist to presenting fun balloons, flowers and foliage, you can even incorporate photo's, fairy lights, balloon lettering or just go simple.

3) Balloons, balloons, balloons!

Balloons are bigger than ever this year! From garlands incorporating foliage and flowers to big giant palm leafs intwined. These believe or not are really simple to create yourself (post coming soon!) or of course you can use a professional company like Bubble Gum Balloons. Large balloons will also be featured as main centre pieces above tables, and of course the beautiful clear bubble balloons – containing ultra violet coloured metallic confetti!
