In our view there is already a ton of coverage of the trends that ivory tower professors and billionaire fund managers are seeing. What’s the edge in hearing the billionaire consensus view over and over again?
The edge comes from hearing new perspectives and new information like from the wedding planner who has worked with hundreds of couples during the pandemic and has noticed that couples are allocating significantly more of their wedding budgets on “small details” like personalized neon signs and eco-friendly customized digital invitations rather than paper invites. Or the accountant seeing how there’s a huge uptick in ecommerce clients generating revenue from in person popups.

Below, you’ll find some of the most thoughtful entrepreneurs and creatives in across various industries and markets sharing the trends they are seeing.

Grazing tables are the biggest trend we are seeing right now in our industry. A Grazing table offers a luxury feel to any event, it can help to raise the atmosphere of your gathering, adding that extra bit of luxury.
The artfully lay out spread of different fresh foods, the concept of mingling with others over drinks, the elegant dining and the visual gastronomical feast made us immediately dive into the art of putting grazing tables together as an additional service to our catering business located in Greenville, SC. Our clients want to be on trend when organizing their events, they want to be outstanding hostesses by offering their guests nothing less than the best, and a grazing table is a great opportunity to do so.

I love that more and more creatives are taking the opportunity to self-publish, with the knowledge and accessibility the self-publishing industry now offers. More and more creatives are stepping outside of the standard publishing box, and learning what it takes to climb from the bottom up, rather than just waiting for someone, somewhere to think your story is in their standards “good enough to publish”, I love that the world is changing, creating more opportunities for the underdog (of course if you are willing to learn, and put the work in). Information, knowledge, and examples of others are just one search key away … Making it that much easier to walk into the path of the unknown. Read more>>

We’re still very new to the industry, having opened in November of 2022, so we’re just starting to see the trends for 2023 and even what’s upcoming expected for 2024 seasons. For both bridal and Quinceañera gowns, we’re seeing the prominence of sheer bodices with exposed corset boning, which gives you the great detail of the corset style. For the quince dresses, all typically come with a liner in the color of the gown to add comfort to the quince (and their parents). Read more>>

One of the biggest trends I see in parenting is a fear of asking for help. No one wants to be seen as a “failing parent”. Many parents believe in keeping their home life secret and feel it inappropriate and embarrassing to talk about parenting challenges, anxieties, and hardships. Too many care about what others will think. This also means that there are too many parents out there struggling alone. As the mental health crisis in our adolescents worsens, this is exactly the time that more parents need to ask for help. More than ever, parents need community. Read more>>
