The inner workings of the universe may always be a mystery. One popular theory posits that the world is actually made up of mathematical equations. At PartySlate, we suspect geometric wedding and event décor fuels the cosmos (or at least the latest trends).
Geometry is making its mark on weddings, corporate events, and milestone celebrations. Triangles, circles, diamonds — you name it — are all finding their way into mathematical-inspired event décor. From ceremonial archways to funky centerpiece additions, it’s time to indulge in the “theory of everything.”
GEOMETRIC WEDDING ARCHES
This igloo-like ceremonial arch found its match with a twin bar set-up decorated in pampas grass and suspended candlelit globes. We especially love how crescent-shaped sofas served as ceremonial seating.

GEOMETRIC CENTERPIECES
Forget the vase. Towering geometric structures were the perfect way to display purple and white calla lilies. See how this trendy B’nai Mitzvah wowed with geometric décor throughout the celebration. We’ll give you a hint: Check out the lounge area.
