Corporate holiday parties offer vendor teams the exciting opportunity to surprise and delight guests. Brands and businesses hire corporate event planners, décor and design companies, caterers, and more to wow their employees and end the year on a high note.
So, it’s no surprise that we are always wowed by the corporate holiday party albums shared to PartySlate every winter. This influx of content also offers our team the unique opportunity to spot the corporate event trends before they happen.
The most wonderful time of the year might still be months away, but the PartySlate team is already predicting corporate holiday party trends. Plus, we know that corporate event clients are already in planning mode for their holiday party events. Read on to see 4 of our favorite trending ideas we expect to see everywhere this winter.

When it comes to color palettes, we’re expecting to see hues (and combinations) of blues and greens popping up at corporate holiday parties this year.
This corporate holiday party in New York City featured a beautifully-curated photo op featuring two shades of blue, a bright emerald green, and a crisp white for the perfect holiday party backdrop.
And photo ops are just the beginning. Imagine this color palette in floral arrangements, festive trees, wreaths, and linen.
2. Eco-friendly centerpieces

We love a décor element that is both stunningly beautiful and good for the environment. Vogue Candles uses plant-based candle granules to create a residue-free, and environmentally safe flame for this perfectly-illuminated corporate holiday party in Los Angeles. and something we believe we will see more of this year.
Other eco-friendly corporate holiday party décor ideas? Catering that uses locally-sourced ingredients, centerpieces that include locally-grown flowers, and corporate event venues that leverage solar power.
3. Decorative nods to Barbie

If you thought Barbie was over, think again. The summer movie blockbuster and classic children’s toy will still be influencing events of all kinds, including corporate holiday parties.
This winter, expect to see subtle nods to Barbie, including pink décor elements of all kinds, like tinsel, ornaments, florals, and candles.
This stunning corporate holiday party at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain featured holiday trees and hot-pink ornaments, which would look beautiful at any holiday celebration this upcoming season.
4. Smaller-scale celebrations

Large-scale corporate holiday parties are here to stay, but we’re anticipating seeing more and more intimate celebrations for corporate teams this upcoming season.
This cozy corporate holiday party at Eden in Chicago featured elevated comfort food dishes, minimal but beautiful décor, and enough space for the entire team to enjoy a festive meal.
