What’s the best theme for a New Year’s Eve wedding?

Our two “go-to” themes when it comes to a New Year's Eve wedding: a chic black tie event or a festive roaring twenties party! Or better yet, find a way to blend the two themes in a chic modern way! That means sequins, geometric elements, gold, satin fabric, fringe, and art-deco designs! Just think of all the table centerpiece possibilities! This wedding shoot designed by Birds of a Feather is exactly what we are talking about. Photo by: Apryl Ann

Party the night away!

The countdown to midnight will be the highlight of the your New Year's Eve wedding. Second to your “I dos” of course. To play into the magic,  you’ll want to do these five things to ensure you are ready to party the night away!

1. Have a DJ or band ready to get the dance floor raging as the evening progresses and the New Year gets closer
2. Have a change of comfortable shoes for the dance floor
3. Consider having a party dress to change into for the reception and dancing so you can really let loose on the dance floor
4. Have lots of champagne and easy to eat foods available for your partying guests to recharge with throughout the evening
5. Have a photo booth with fun props to make some really fun memories with your friends and family

Bring on the bubbly for Your New Year's Eve Wedding!

Ringing in the New Year isn’t complete without the sound of clinking glasses and a shared kiss with a loved one! A glittering tower of champagne glasses is always a huge hit at New Year’s Eve wedding! Also, don’t forget to offer a non-alcoholic option like, sparkling cider for your guests as well.Photo by: Jennifer Domenick - Love Life Images
