A New Year’s Eve Wedding
Just yesterday I was talking about spring – today it’s back to reality. It’s New Year’s Eve! And while my plans for this evening include a fine meal, champagne, a roaring fire… and a movie marathon(!) on the couch with my husband and puppies, it’s one of the biggest nights for celebrating out on the town. And for some, it’s a night for getting married.
When planning my wedding, the thought of getting married on a holiday or, specifically New Year’s Eve, never crossed my mind. But, our friends Ashley and Jesse celebrate their four-year anniversary today and our neighbors are getting married tonight. And with these two celebrations in mind, I’ve been thinking a lot about what unforgettable fun a New Year’s Eve wedding must be.
So, just for the heck of it, I decided to turn my daydreaming into a New Year’s Eve wedding collage. Champagne and fireworks were the inspiration for the bubbly, eye-catching fabrics and yellow and black color palette. And the combination of modern prints and antique accents (the gorgeous black lace on the cake and the Pierre Bonnard poster) symbolize the day being a bridge between old and new. (Imagine clutch purses in the polka dots and napkins in the black and yellow print… how fun!)
So, to all those who are getting married or celebrating an anniversary tonight, or on a New Year’s Eve down the road – congratulations, enjoy, and Happy New Year!
