As we are about to say a much-needed “goodbye” to 2022, and a hopeful “hello” to 2023, we can’t help but wonder how a New Year’s theme wedding would look like! YES! All things GLAMOUROUS & GLITTER!
What’s not to like about a New Year’s Eve wedding? Think glitz, glam, midnight kisses, and lots of champagne! So why not combine New Year’s Eve with your wedding? Guests are automatically in the mood to party, and your wedding is instantly the last and first party of the year. Subtly incorporate timepieces, metallics, and sequins to pack a small punch among more toned-down décor. If you’re throwing an NYE party or saying ‘I do’ as you ring in 2023, these 6 ideas are precisely what you need to get the party started.
Sparkle Everywhere

Sparkling, opulent and black-tie are the keywords to use as inspiration when thinking of a New Year’s Eve wedding theme. It’s all about glamour, glitter and gold. Your New Years’ Eve wedding will shine even brighter if you decide to include some mercury candle holders. These decorative pieces come in a multitude of shapes and photograph beautifully when placed in clusters. Add gold sequin table runners.Place clear glasses, bowls, and candelabras on top to keep the focus on the runners.
New Year’s Eve Photobooth

A photo booth won’t be complete without the right props! Some NYE ideas to consider are clocks, hats, masks, boas, and noisemakers! Don’t forget about that sequin backdrop! What’s a party without a wedding photo booth? Make yours NYE-worthy with a metallic or sequin backdrop and fun props like champagne glasses and party hats.

Bring your New Years’ Eve wedding ideas to life by organizing a champagne tower. You and your partner will definitely remember the bliss of pouring your drinks down the tiers for the years to come.
Themed Wedding Favours

On the hunt for boozy wedding favors worthy of your NYE celebration? Itty bitty bottles of champagne will do the trick. You can even stamp them with your wedding monogram if you want to go take them to the next level. Provide masks, top hats, and more for guests to dress up with.
Fireworks

An NYE wedding truly stands out from other kinds of romantic ceremonies with none other than fireworks. Honor the holiday by painting the sky with these gorgeous illuminations and your guests are guaranteed to be impressed. If your New Years’ wedding venue doesn’t have the space for a fireworks display, think about including some sparklers on your special day instead and you won’t regret it. Sparklers aren’t nearly as noisy but will stir up the same celebratory spirit among your guest list. This moment truly enhances the celebration!
Host a Countdown to Midnight

A New Year’s Eve wedding would not be complete without midnight cheer. Plan to pass out bubbles and shout out “Happy New Year!” when the clock strikes 12 a.m. You can put a unique spin on this by pouring a Champagne tower or toast with your favorite non-sparkling wine beverage to personalize the moment. Consider also having confetti rain down from the ceiling or booking a surprise performer to take the stage.
Wishing you all a very prosperous new year 2023! Cheers to health, happiness, and a lot of love in the year to come!
