A fabulous New Year’s Eve wedding is all about the glitz and the glamour and today’s mood board gives you some great ideas of how you can push that theme to the max! A formal affair would have favoured a palette of black and gold in the past, but we love the more modern, softer approach of using gold, silver and blush together for a sparkling feminine feel. A great idea for a New Year’s wedding is to create a signature cocktail for the big toast – we love this Classic Champagne Cocktail recipe from Martha Stewart.
Of course the best place to start with this amped up glitzy soiree is with the bride herself. Many will be delighted to hear that gold gowns are a huge trend for 2015 weddings, not just for bridesmaids but for the first lady too. Full gold sequin dresses like Isadora from BHLDN, Celeste by Carolina Herrera, and the incredible Locasta by Jenny Packham are gorgeous examples of elegant and stylish gold glitter gowns perfect for a NYE wedding. If going for gold isn’t for you of course you could simply use your accessories to add some sparkle – there are some gorgeous examples of super sparkly bridal jewellery in Sparkling Bridal Accessories you’ll Wear Again and some seriously swoon-worthy gold heels in our Wedding Heels: Designer vs High Street.
For guests, sparklers are a must. Have them perched on a table beside the door for guests to grab as they go outside for a full wedding party shot, or wrap each individually in a bow and pop it on each guest’s place setting with a cute card (here’s a great DIY sparkler card tutorial to get you started!).
