Our 5 Style Tips to host the Ultimate New Years Eve Party
Are you ready to ring in 2024 with an epic party that will keep kicking until the wee hours of the morning?
Whether your clinking glasses with a rowdy crowd or nestled in front of the TV waiting for the fireworks display, here are our top tips to keep your New Year’s Eve vibes high all night long!
Glitter & Sparkle
Since your guests will be dressed to impress, infuse your bash with a little glitz and glamour with a photo moment to document the special evening. The key in creating unforgettable moments that compliment your chosen theme is to meticulously incorporate your décor, furniture and backdrops with the surrounding space. Our NEW Shimmer Walls are an iconic backdrop option that creates a mesmorising touch and truly evokes the spirit of bringing in the new year!
Also, you can never have too many disco balls to incorporate into your overall aesthetic. Whether they are used as central pieces on a tablescape, dispensed from a ceiling with a rotating motor or alternatively styled in clusters for a dramatic effect, the list is endless!
2. Cocktails & Canapes
The drinks selection requires as much consideration as your playlist and while champagne may be the go-to for New Years Eve, why not break the cycle and make your own signature cocktail to mix it up for your midnight toast.
Whether it’s a Whisky Sour, Old Fashioned or Expresso Martini make your drinks selection worth staying up for!
Also, we also recommend keeping the drinks flowing with a signature champagne tower! That is an effortlessly chic centerpiece that create an immersive experience for all guests. They bring a sense of opulence, and the theatrical spectacle creates incomparable photo moments. We are also able to customize the front of the tower to add a bold statement to keep the good times flowing and celebratory moment everlasting.
New Years Eve is all about fuss-free entertaining and is the opportunity for you to be a gracious hands-off host! We recommend cheese and charcuterie stations with various NEW marble and wood serving platters.
Don’t forget a midnight snack for your guests to keep energy levels up! Our Earthen Serving Platterware perfect for any cuisine!
3. Lighting
Lighting is truly significant for all events (in particular NYE), and it extends beyond mere visual effects. It plays a crucial part in the transformation of the space and creating the ambiance of the evening. It plays a pivotal role in your chosen theming and is perfect in building anticipation for the final countdown (particularly if synchronized to your AV system)!
Whether your guests are burning up the dance floor with vibrant LED up lights, toasting at a lavish dinner with various antique candles or settled under fairy lights for a cosy affair, lighting is a necessity in truly creating an immersive experience.
4. Signature Bar/DJ Booth
Not only do our Bars and Food Stations at any event have fundamental purposes for serving guests, they are a focal point and add to the aesthetic appeal of the event.
