While a New Year’s wedding isn’t as popular as those booked in the spring and summer seasons, the holiday’s existing air of celebration and promise of the future can make it the perfect time for your nuptials. Check out these few ideas to help make your special day a real sparkler.
Have a Photo Booth
While the professional photographer and attendees with camera phones will capture the event as it happens, New Years Eve nuptials begs for a fun photo booth. With a custom-designed backdrop added to your booth, your guests will have a great time staging their own photos, capturing the joyful moments before and after vows are exchanged and as the ball drops.
Glitter and Gold
The traditional New Year’s decor calls for different shades of sparkling silver and glittering gold. Try and integrate these celebratory touches into your wedding style and design – dresses with gold or silver trim, a sequin wedding dress, sequined table cloths, glitter dipped feathers, gift bags tied with gold ribbon and even invitations on bejeweled stationary.
Champagne, Confetti and Party Favors
No wedding would be complete without a little libation – and certainly no New Year’s Eve party would be memorable without confetti and party favors. Make sure to have plenty of Champagne, confetti and party favors like noisemakers and party horns. In lieu of a cake, a Champagne tower can make a fun, bubbly and adult alternative.
Sparklers
New Year’s Eve is all about the fireworks! If a full-fledged outdoor display isn’t in the cards, handheld sparklers make a great party favor.
Location, Location, Location
A wedding venue tends to come with lots of specifications and restrictions – in addition to a hefty surcharge. Often, they are somewhat remote destinations, outside of major cities or more metropolitan areas. A New Year’s Eve party, on the other hand, can be anywhere you want it to be, provided you have friends and fun! A rooftop with a view of a city skyline, a hotel, or a private manor are great places to ring in the New Year with style and joy.
Turn Vows Into Resolutions
On New Year’s Eve, everyone puts together their resolutions for the year to come, focusing on self-improvement and making the world around them a better place. For your wedding, turn your vows into a series of resolutions – going far beyond the year to come and stretching out to encompass the life you will share together.
