It’s always about location, location and location when it comes to events. Any event producer builds an event from the ground up starting with location and The Knot Gala did not disappoint. How fabulous is the world famous New York Public Library?
The Knot—the nation’s leading wedding planning and registry resource—reveals 10 wedding details to anticipate for 2020 celebrations. Highlights for weddings at the Knot included details focusing sustainability with upcycling décor with fabulously colored shredded T-shirt material and metal straws. Gala attendees were encouraged to wear silver, sequins or white to the colorful event. Walls of florals added to the decor.
“We love how thoughtful and purposeful today’s couples are in planning their wedding celebrations. Along with their designers and planners, couples continue to think creatively and deliberately as they plan a wedding that thoughtfully reflects their unique love story. These couples are also focused on finding sustainable ways to host celebrations, repurposing décor, and not letting food or florals go to waste,” said Kristen Maxwell Cooper, editor in chief of The Knot. “Additionally, we’re seeing the trend of personalization extend beyond the wedding day and into the registry as couples prepare for their newlywed life. Thoughtfully curated registry asks—like lifetime pasta passes or hiking boots guaranteed to last a decade—give guests a glimpse into their future plans together. We’re eager to see how 2020 couples put their own spin on what’s trending.”
“Weddings are a day when two become one and the best celebrations are those where couples pour themselves into details—big and small—at every turn. As a professional event planner and designer, I have the privilege of collaborating with couples and clients to bring their true selves and event visions to life, helping them thoughtfully put their own twists on conventional wedding traditions and details,” said Jove Meyer, creative director and owner of Jove Meyer Events and the planner and designer of The Knot Gala 2019. “This year, I had the honor of planning and designing The Knot Gala, the wedding industry’s most anticipated celebration. ‘Shine Bright’ was the inspiration for this year’s event, encouraging each attendee to shine and be their authentic self. Through purposefully curated details like custom lighting, inclusive menus, bold floral installations and color blocking, we were able to create an event that reflected emerging trends in events in an authentic way that was in line with the theme and The Knot brand.”
