How to Make Your Spring Events Pop in 2024
Spring isn't just a season… it's a feeling. It's the promise of new beginnings, the burst of colours after the dreary winter months, and the sense of rejuvenation that permeates the air. And what better way to celebrate this renewal of nature than sprinkling a little springtime flair into your events!
Lean into Spring
Seasons come just once a year. That means we’ll get to enjoy less than 100 springs in our lifetime – so why not go all in?
Take your event decor to the max, decorate your tables with seasonal blooms, immerse your venue in scents of daisies, lavender, and fresh linen, or dive deep into the world of gingham, picnic baskets, and more. Embrace those spring vibes to the max.
Give the Expected a Twist!
Spring makes you think of Easter egg hunts... charming, but let’s be honest, not all adults are springing into action for a Cadbury’s Creme Egg. (We’re definitely not one of those adults.)
Shake things up and add an adult spin to these traditions!
Imagine an Easter egg hunt designed for grown-ups: replace the chocolate with plastic eggs hidden around your venue, each holding a surprise. Your guests will have 2 minutes to find an egg with a gift inside. These could range from a cheeky discount voucher for a drink company partnering your event or, if you’re feeling generous, a lavish weekend getaway for two!
Be Prepared for the Weather
Yes, we Brits know just how terrible the weather can be in spring. It's important for the success of your event that you are prepared for anything, rain or shine.
Your event shouldn’t have a solution waiting on the sidelines. Factor them into your original plans, for example: If you’re hosting an outdoor picnic and the forecast is set to be sunny, but you can’t take the risk, incorporate a shaded area for your guests to get some relief from the heat (if the sun does make an appearance) and serve as shelter if the rain begins to pour down. If the weather is mild, even better! Now you have a separate area for your guests to enjoy your event in!
Take Trends Under Your Wing
While aiming for a stand-out event, it’s okay to seek a bit of inspiration. Look into the trends predicted to blossom this spring for some fresh ideas.
With World Earth Day on the horizon, why not organise a corporate event with a sustainable twist? Not only will your team enjoy a fantastic day out, but you’ll also be saving the planet whilst supporting sustainable brands.
Elevate the Traditional
If you’ve never experienced a spring picnic, are you even living? (Just kidding!) But seriously, if picnics are starting to feel a tad stale, it’s time for an upgrade:
- Swap out the usual nibbles for a lavish three-course gourmet menu.
- Pick a jaw-dropping location, like a secluded garden in the English countryside or a botanical rooftop bar for unbeatable city views.
- Delight your guests with personalised welcome baskets and thoughtful parting gifts.
- Engage everyone with nature-inspired activities, from flower pot painting to jam and honey-making workshops.
