Dazzling, glimmering, splendid! The theme of every New Year’s Eve soirée. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. If you’re celebrating at home with a small group of loved ones, this article is perfect for you. We’ve gathered our favorite tips to create that glitzy, glamorous, spark-tacular tablescape you’ve always envisioned for ringing in the new year!
In true countdown fashion, we’ll start with number three.
3. Light up your life
When the lights go down and the conversations begin to silence in anticipation of the countdown to the new year, there’s a small but special moment in time where you breathe in the glittering bubbles of champagne. Enhance that moment with the candlelight from your tablescape. The warm light will exude beautifully from the patterns of Moroccan lantern candle holders or glisten from vintage, multifaceted glass holders that illuminate a moody glow in every direction. Intersperse baby’s breath bouquets to weave in some whimsicality.
2. Gatsby Gold
You can't have glam without Gatsby's signature color. Elegant, bold, and classic, gold cutlery and utensils are an easy way to elevate a tablescape to that over-the-top level we all deserve to enjoy from time to time. Over indulgence is the goal, so make sure to pair that with an ornately patterned tablecloth and napkin holders. Add a modern angle on a retro classic with coupe champagne glasses, then raise your glass to new beginnings!
1. Follow the Call of the Disco Ball
Disco balls are this year's iconic centerpiece! Not only does it capture the essence of sparkle and glitter, but this ball of mirrors carries so much symbolism of reflection, the light of new beginnings, and of course, dancing! After all, life is like a disco ball... "no matter how the music changes, you keep on dancing."
Keep the Stayin' Alive vibes going with disco stirrers inside champagne flutes and silver star confetti doused across the table. If your dining room table has a hanging light fixture above it, add a few 5", 8", and 10" balls at varying levels with fishing line or ribbon. And for the fabulous host or hostess, we recommend sprinkling your cheeks with glitter!
Wishing everyone a very happy New Year!
