A Sparkly Soiree

As Christmas quickly approaches there is one more holiday that needs some attention, New Years Eve! While I always felt too many expectations were put on this evening {and were rarely lived up to} I do enjoy a small soiree with friends celebrating the start of a new year. What I love even more is being able to do all the decorating with one stop shopping, luckily Anthropologie has really amped up their party shop on this year and has some amazing decorations to through one hell of a party!

a gold & grey color scheme is the perfect palette for this celebratory evening


adorably chic invitations to send to your guests along with a resolution kit for those pesty promises we try to keep with ourselves but all too often break 


a party is never complete without a place to take pretty photos & this backdrop will surely add some pizzaz to your evenings mementos 


every photo back drop needs some props & these pinwheels would be a great background for smaller spaces


confetti may be a total PIA to clean up but it sure does look pretty when the clock strikes midnight



decorate your snacks and desserts with these adorable toppers 



makes some noise with these petite party horns


mini pinatas are a great treat for your guests to take home stuffed with sweets for the morning after, while an additional banner is great for designating the bar area


this giant balloon is a steal at $50, I would totally use it as an entrance to let guests know where the party is at!

a stylish soiree - a new year & a new life + one

The other day I saw some photos of a wedding from an old friend back on Long Island. It's so nice to be able to see these happy occasions celebrated with lots of familiar faces when I don't live in NY anymore. It's no secret that I am wedding obsessed and can never seem to get enough of them. Well this one is no exception, I loved it especially because of the day it was celebrated on, New Years Eve!  Not only does it symbolize a new start in life with the new year but it's one of those nights that is just so fun get all glammed up and really let loose and what better place to do that at a wedding. Let's face it the usual bars and clubs are overpriced and over rated so having a wedding is the perfect occasion to go all out for. Choosing to have your wedding on this holiday does however mean a few things for the bride to be to think about, one - your theme is pretty much built in, so if you don't want a countdown or Auld Lang Syne played at midnight this probably isn't the ideal evening for your special day. Second - the holidays usually bring on the lbs - so you have to be prepared to either gain a pound here or there or diet at the hardest time of year. Finally - the two weeks prior to the wedding always seem to be the most hectic, lots of last minute details and answering a zillion questions to every vendor and your venue, so if you don't mind that piled with Christmas then you are good to go. Below is a what I imagine would make a fabulous a New Years Eve to look like - Happy Planning!
