We’re kicking off the month with a myth-bust that will change the way you plan events.
You do not need your entire theme figured out before you start planning an event.
This myth keeps way too many would-be hosts stuck in “I’ll-start-later” land.
The Myth: You Need to Have a Theme Before You Begin
As event professionals, we’ve seen it time and time again: a client loves hosting, has dreams of something fabulous… and then hits the planning wall. The questions start piling up:
- Should it be boho or modern?
- Neutrals or jewel tones or neon?
- What if you choose wrong?
- Garden disco chic or sleek minimal?
- What if I commit to a vibe and it ends up feeling off?
Friend, breathe. Pour something fun. This myth is officially busted.
The Truth: You Just Need One Anchor Element
Here’s what the pros know:
You do not need the entire theme locked in. You just need one thing to anchor your vision—a single element that feels right, speaks to the guest of honor, or reflects the purpose of the celebration.
Think of anchor elements as your event’s North Star…not the whole galaxy.
Simple Anchor Elements That Spark Instant Creativity
A color (or two): Maybe you love mulberry + sage. Or navy + rose. Or you’re in your disco era—who doesn’t love a good sparkle and shine?!
One color choice can inspire invitations, linens, florals, and decor direction.
A Symbolic Object: Guitars for music lovers, compasses for travelers, a single red rose inspired by grandma’s garden.
One detail → instant story.
A Feeling or Mood: Joyful. Romantic. Cozy. Bold. A mood sets a direction without boxing you in. Mood is MAGIC
One Statement Piece:
A show-stopping backdrop.
A patterned linen you can’t stop staring at.
A neon sign with a unique phrase.
A floral arch that practically whispers, pick me.
An anchor element doesn’t limit you—it launches you.
Why Anchor Elements Make Planning Easier
Once you pick one anchor element, everything else begins to fall into place.
- Colors start pairing naturally
- Decor direction becomes clearer
- Vendors understand your vibe
And best of all? YOU stop overthinking every detail (hallelujah)
Anchor elements simplify planning, spark creativity, and help avoid the dreaded Pinterest scroll paralysis at 1 a.m.
