Spring 2025 Hosting Trends We’re Loving
NEW NEW NEW! That’s what spring brings.
We’re officially petitioning to start the new year in spring because let’s be real—who feels renewed in gloomy January? Spring, on the other hand, delivers that fresh energy we all crave. With the season of revival comes fresh hosting inspiration, and we’ve rounded up the trends we’re obsessing over—from dessert-as-decor to the tablescapes we can’t stop pinning.
Floral Cakes: Blooms That Belong on Dessert
Dried or fresh, florals on cakes are making a bold return. We’re talking about cakes that look more like lush garden arrangements than desserts. Take cues from resident Tinkerbell and hosting fairy Meghan Markle (yes, her wedding cake featured pressed flowers), or go for something avant-garde like RubyMakes in London or Nazli & Co in NYC. Think dramatic poppies, anthuriums, and sugar blooms emerging from tiered confections as if they sprouted overnight. A cake that doubles as a centerpiece? We love a multi-tasking queen.
Pearl-Studded Fruit: Because Extra is In
Fruit as a centerpiece? Chic. But fruit bedazzled with pearl pins and rhinestones? That’s an aesthetic. Mixing soft, organic textures with unexpected glam feels so right for 2025. Imagine a tablescape where glossy grapes and citrus fruits glisten with delicate embellishments—just the right amount of decadence.
Vegetables as Décor: The Unexpected Centerpiece Trend
If fruit can get the hosting spotlight, why not vegetables? We’re obsessed with the idea of using rich, moody produce—like eggplants and turnips—as tapered candle holders and floral vases. A deep purple eggplant with a sleek taper candle? Stunning. A radish-turned-bud-vase? Elevated. Let your tablescape get a little weird (in the best way).
Delicate, Geometric Finger Foods: Chic Bites, Big Impact
This season is all about light, intentional bites. Cubed watermelon and feta skewers, cucumber and cheese stacks, or even mini baguette rounds with whipped ricotta and sweet peas. And for something extra show-stopping? A sculptural radish flower—a mound of French butter topped with delicately sliced radishes, where each guest plucks off a petal to enjoy with a swipe of butter. Functional art at its finest.
Custom Matchbooks: The Party Favor You’ll Want to Steal
Branded matchbooks are back, and they’re not just for swanky bars. Whether it’s a dinner party for your besties or a brand activation, custom matchbooks add a nostalgic, effortlessly cool touch. Leave them on each place setting or stack them near the cocktails for a photo-worthy detail that guests will actually take home (and remember you by).
Spring is about embracing the new, the fresh, and the slightly unexpected. So if your next gathering doesn’t involve bedazzled fruit, edible floral sculptures, or a vegetable centerpiece—did it even happen?
