When planning a New Year’s Eve party, it can be easy to get a little stressed out. From the guest list and what to wear to deciding what food to provide and how to decorate the venue. Make things easier by following our top tips for floral decor this New Year. Discover how to dress your venue using flowers and what flower bouquets to give if you are attending a New Year’s party this year. Read on for some fab tips and inspiration.
Flower Delivery is a MustNo matter what flowers you choose, having flowers delivered to your home or the venue is a real life-saver. Select a company you can trust to deliver the blooms on time, preferably one that offers same-day flower delivery or next-day flower delivery. The fresher the flower arrangements, the better so that your floral decorations stay as vibrant as possible throughout the party.
When attending a New Year’s Eve Party, especially if it is at the home of the host, it is courteous to gift a bouquet of flowers. As the party is for the New Year, a thoughtful bouquet would be of carnations, which are the flowers attributed to January. White carnations are a sophisticated choice, but if you know your host prefers a different colour, by all means, present them with carnations in that colour. Alternatively, the birth flower of December, the narcissus, is also an excellent choice and symbolises new beginnings.
The crisp elegance of all-white decor is a popular choice for New Year’s Eve parties. This hue means that there is no fear of party guests clashing with the floral decor and that you can add splashes of colour elsewhere without overloading the overall colour scheme. White lilies and roses look spectacular together and are readily available at this time of year. The fragrance of these particular flowers is sublime and will create a deliciously elegant ambience for your party.
Traditional Seasonal ColoursAs there are 12 days of Christmas, the festive season should still be in full swing, which means you can still celebrate with yuletide colours at New Year. If you like the idea of prolonging your Christmas celebrations, orange, red, and gold colours should be your palette of choice. Deep red and orange roses accompanied by lush green leaves will look spectacular when presented in huge glass vases along with the dinner table. Alternatively, tie these flowers in bunches to the backs of chairs to make each guest feel extra special as they sit to enjoy their New Year’s feast.
Yes, that’s right – flowers you can eat! Flowers are not just to be admired as some flowers can be used in salads, to adorn cakes and even to be enjoyed in a tea. Surprise guests with canapes strewn with radish sprigs or a celebration cake that has been decorated with edible leaves pressed into butter icing. Edible flowers and leaves will provide a talking point for your guests and will add stunning flavours to your dishes.
Now is the time to let your imagination go wild. Hang flowers from bunting and arrange it in streams across the room for a rustic ambience. Search charity shops for mismatched vases and place bunches of flowers in these around the venue. If you are going for an elegant feel, use clear vases in different shapes and sizes, so the flowers are at different heights when placed on the tables. Instead of table confetti, use petals for a more environmental alternative.
