How Will You Party Like It’s 2010?

Filed Under Food and Drinks, Holidays 

6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ….. FUN!!!!! How will you ring in the new year and party like it’s 2010? Will your fete be elegant and angelic, warm and cozy in the mountains, or edgy and glamorous?

EDGY & GLAM: Swirl homemade liquer lollipops into your champagne until they dissolve and infuse it with color, sprinkle metallic confetti all over the floor, don an over-the-top ensemble (Marcus Piggot),  and create a custom chandelier by putting feathers into clear glass ornaments and hanging them in a large cluster over the table. To expand your space set another table outside and hang a crystal chandelier to keep the setting just as glamorous as it is inside!

ELEGANT & ANGELIC: Wear an ethereal white tank with a raw edge ruffle and hang a tattered angle wings sculpture made from flyleaf book pages and vintage crepe paper amongst white frosted apple ornaments. Set a glitzy table of creams, whites and ivories offset by pearlized pale pink (via ada and darcy). Make giant paper flowers and snowflake cookies, and serve mini ice cream cones, eggnog martinis, pearlized macaroons elegantly accented with small gold leafs.

COZY CASUAL: Or will you celebrate in a cozy chic cabin in the snow filled mountains. Have a comfy cozy New Years surrounded by giant faux fur rugs and a snow tabletop set with mismatched chairs from the cabin (via frolic). Warm up your ears with a faux fur trapper hat, warm your shoulders with a glamorous silk ruffle cape and rozy up those cheeks by sipping hot chocolate with marshmallow hearts.  Set up a sweet liquer bar in the entrance so your friends can quickly thaw off after hitting the ski slopes!

Whatever style or city you ring in the New Year, just remember that 2009 was ‘Oh So Divine’ but it’s time to party like it’s 2010!!

    Gorgeous photos and great ideas! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to put any of them to use as we’re taking off for NYE and the weekend but I will definitely save them for another year.

    Happy New Year!
