Planning a wedding or event in the Berkshires or the greater Northeast this summer? One of the biggest 2025 event trends is bold, expressive color palettes. From vibrant butter yellow to deep verdant green, couples and event planners are embracing statement hues to elevate their tented celebrations. At Classical Tents and Party Goods, we offer the rentals and design support you need to bring your colorful vision to life—right here in the Berkshires.

This season, it’s all about layering expressive colors in intentional, artful ways. This year, summer events are blooming with:
These colors are showing up in everything from bridesmaids’ dresses to custom table linens, and they look especially stunning when layered into tent decor.
At Classical Tents, we offer a wide range of rentals that allow you to play with color in subtle or dramatic ways:
1. Signature Cocktails with a Pop of Color
A creative way to infuse your color palette into the guest experience? Signature cocktails. Whether it’s a butter yellow limoncello spritz, a lavender-hued gin cocktail, or a bold hibiscus margarita, custom drinks bring personality and visual flair to your bar setup—especially when styled with coordinating glassware and garnishes. We’re especially fond of the Della Ridged Coupe (pictured below) for its standout style—and it’s also available in a charming “Malibu” pink!

2. LED Uplighting in Vibrant Hues
LED uplighting can bathe your tent in any color you choose—highlighting florals, dance floors, or bar setups in your signature shade. Consider coral uplighting to energize your cocktail hour, or soft green for a calm, organic vibe.
3. Statement Dance Floors
