The weather is warming, the birds are singing, and budding plants are breaking free from winter’s heavy grasp. Spring has arrived, making it the perfect time to bring the season’s fresh energy into your next event.

To celebrate the season, we’ve compiled a quick list of spring-inspired event ideas to spark your creativity.

The Group:

With a mission for reimagining public spaces to create connected communities, Friends of the High Line are a nonprofit group dedicated to operating, funding, and maintaining The High Line public park on the West Side of Manhattan.

The Event:

The Spring Benefit is an annual celebration of the community, civic and industry leaders who help the High Line thrive. At this benefit, the organization honors individuals or organizations who have made significant contributions to the park and its community.

For this formal benefit, the event organizers evoked spring with a column of lush, pink florals. Floating candles add a playful but classy touch and complement the spring-green linens.

What We Love:

From color pops to florals, this event takes the motifs of a lovely spring day in the park and elevates them for a formal dinner. Aligning all your vendors can feel challenging but the right production partner can help you coordinate vendor communications and ensure your event looks cohesive.

A Sensory Spectacle for Electric Bloom

The Group:

Disney sought a firm to help them promote their upcoming project Electric Bloom to its demographic of tweens, and experiential agency Mirrored Media stepped up to the challenge.

The Event:

A show full of personality and energy needed an event to match. They created a 3,200-square-foot immersive spectacle in the atrium at Westfield Century City. With a massive floral arch and a multistory LED backdrop playing music from the show, the two-day popup let young guests dive into the colorful world of the new series.

What We Love:

Though geared towards a young audience, there’s still a lot to be inspired by here for a corporate event. 30,000 stems of florals make a huge impact – creating a botanical oasis in any venue. While your shareholders might not enjoy listening to tween pop during their kickoff meeting, an LED installation – like the one we created for Sherwin-Williams – can immerse them in your event.

A Tented Fantasia for the Butterfly Ball

The Group:

The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum of the Chicago Academy of Sciences connects attendees to nature and science through their events, exhibits, and education programs.

The Event:

With whimsical and mission-specific theming, the Butterfly Ball is the foremost fundraising event for the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. It’s often held in a tented space, with dinner guests enjoying their meal alongside nature-themed decor and lighting.

What We Love:

Hosting your spring event in a tent gets your attendees in touch with the outdoors – a perfect choice for an organization that connects people with nature. No matter your organization’s focus, curing your attendee’s Spring Fever with some fresh air is a great way to keep your event lively. Take it to the next level with clever lighting that turns your tent into a work of art. Colortone can help with that.

Our Takeaway:

Spring is a time of revitalization. Incorporate the colors, sensations, and mood of spring into your events, and you’ll engage and energize your attendees.
