New Years Eve Wedding

12/26/2012

Now that Christmas has come and gone there is one last big holiday season event left, New Years Eve. And what could be a better time to gather all your friends together and celebrate a wedding than on this traditional night of partying? New Years Eve is a great date for a black tie, full of sparkle wedding event. Are you ready to count down for this wedding theme?

A solid palette of black and white with the accent of sparkles is the perfect NYE wedding color palette. As with any NYE party you can never have too many sparkles. Find linens that shimmer, use silver and gold rimmed plates and glasses, and add edible glitter to your desserts for the perfect sparkle. To top off all that shines have all your guests use sparklers when you leave the wedding or reception.

When it comes to hosting a wedding on NYE you can’t go wrong with incorporating the traditional NYE party hats and noise makers. A great way to hand out these party favors is by using them as the escort cards. Tie a tag onto each noise maker for the guests to pick up when they arrive at the reception.

And you can’t forget about the midnight countdown. Instead of having a champagne toast during the wedding have servers pass around mini champagne bottles or glasses for all your guests to toast in the new year. Or if you are really good at planning combine both the wedding toasts with the countdown to the new year. An additional surprise for all your guests could also include a confetti or balloon drop to ring at midnight.
