Event design in 2026 is all about creating experiences that feel immersive, intentional, and unforgettable. Planners and designers are focusing on natural elements combined with bold, modern designs. Events are moving beyond simple gatherings to become more immersive experiences. 

As the industry evolves, event décor has become a central part of the experience. Whether for intimate weddings, grand galas, or corporate events, décor choices set the tone, reinforce themes, and leave lasting impressions on guests. In 2026, design trends highlight the nature-inspired elements that add elegance while being versatile across event types.

At Greenscape Design and Décor, we are seeing event design centered around statement greenery, sustainability, and bold floral artistry. From breathtaking trees to dramatic installations, these trends will shape corporate celebrations, galas, social events, and wedding décor ideas.

1. Trees, Trees, Trees!

Looking to make a lasting impression on your event? Statement artificial trees are the trend-savvy secret to transforming ordinary venues into extraordinary dreamscapes. Whether you’re planning a garden-inspired soiree, an indoor forest, or a lush greenery-centric extravaganza, our rental faux trees can add elegance, scale, and magic to your decor.

  • Cherry Blossoms for a Romantic Touch

Add a soft, whimsical vibe with blush or cerise cherry blossom trees. Perfect for ceremony arches, aisle borders, or photo backdrops, they instantly create a fairy-tale setting for themed corporate or private events. Their fullness also looks beautiful in wedding photos—especially for spring and summer weddings.

Beyond weddings, cherry blossoms can elevate gala entrances or bring a delicate accent to cocktail receptions. Their versatility makes them a go-to for planners looking to balance romance with sophistication.

  • Wisteria Trees for Enchanted Vibes

If you're going for drama and romance, cascading replica wisteria trees offer an ethereal, enchanted quality. Use them as table centerpieces or as entrance focal points for a magical first impression.

In addition to their visual beauty, wisteria trees add height and movement to a venue’s layout, drawing the eye upward and making the space feel more dynamic. This makes them an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor event planning, where designers want to create a sense of wonder.

  • Artificial Green Trees for Classic Elegance

Looking for something more timeless? Tall artificial green Ficus trees deliver a lush, elegant look and feel. Beautiful for both indoor and outdoor events, green artificial canopy trees offer a natural look that never goes out of style.

They’re also highly versatile, working well for both formal galas and casual gatherings. By softening large spaces or creating intimate lounges, artificial green trees give planners flexibility in design while keeping a polished, professional aesthetic.

2. Sustainability at the Centre

Eco-conscious design continues to grow, with event planners and designers prioritizing sustainable event décor. In 2026, expect more locally sourced floral arrangements, biodegradable materials, and upcycled design elements. Think natural centerpieces, potted plants, and reusable décor that balance environmental responsibility with modern elegance.

For event planning teams, sustainability isn’t just a trend; it’s becoming a client expectation. By incorporating reusable or rental décor, planners can reduce waste while still delivering stunning visual experiences.

3. Statement Floral Installations

Floral design is going big and bold. Expect grand floral installations that make a dramatic impact, from hanging florals and flower walls to oversized arches and ceiling treatments. Lush, abundant florals will frame venues, enhance guest experiences, add a sense of natural beauty to spaces, and provide incredible Instagram-worthy backdrops for photos.

For corporate events, these installations double as brandable spaces. Companies can integrate logos, colors, or themes into the floral artistry, making décor both beautiful and functional.

  • Use statement trees to define entrances, aisles, or stage backdrops.
  • Add bold floral installations in high-traffic or photo-heavy areas.
  • Balance big features with smaller touches like potted plants or reusable décor.
  • For corporate events, align décor with brand colors or themes to reinforce identity.
  • Mix sustainable rentals with luxury accents to achieve impact without overspending.

These steps help event planning teams create stylish, memorable experiences while staying flexible for different event types.
