Bold wedding dress
Take your bridal ensemble above and beyond with a blinged-out or gold wedding dress. There is always the option to change into a fabulous party dress for the reception as well!
Bling-y wedding shoes
Complete your look with a pair of shiny wedding shoes. If you don’t do well in sky-high heels, you can always rock a pair of blinged-out Converse or boots, instead.
NYE-worthy bridesmaid dresses
You want your squad to look as glam as ever for the occasion, so ask them to wear shimmering party dresses on your big day. Your girls will look amazing and be able to bust a move on the dance floor without ripping any hems.
Chandeliers
New Year’s Eve wedding decor is all about elegance and extravagance, so we suggest a venue that eschews basic lighting fixtures for luxurious chandeliers.
Cocktail-style catering
Skip the formal plated dinner and opt for cocktail-style catering for your New Year’s Eve wedding menu so that your guests can mix and mingle while they munch on canapés, sliders and bite-sized versions of their favorite foods.
Plenty of champagne
As for drinks, champagne (or sparkling wine) is an absolute must. We suggest adding a festive champagne-based cocktail to your menu, too, for something a touch more special.
Glittering tablecloths
Amp up your tablescapes by opting for metallic tablecloths instead of plain ‘ol white linens for dazzling New Year’s Eve wedding decor. Pro tip: These can get pretty expensive if you’re hosting hundreds and hundreds of guests, so you may want to save them for important tables, like your buffet, dessert display and head or sweetheart table.
Balloons
For celebratory New Year’s Eve wedding reception decorations, fill your space with balloons that match your color scheme (gold, silver, white and black are super popular for NYE). When the clock strikes midnight, drop the balloons on your guests to make the moment extra special!
