When we first met with this bride, we knew this New Year’s Eve wedding would be anything but ordinary. From the start, she gave us complete creative freedom—a dream for any designer! While many NYE weddings stick to classic black, white, and gold, she wanted something unexpected. To bring to life this bold and chic NYE wedding, we embraced bold patterns, a maximalist style, and a color palette that felt fresh, unique, and celebratory. The end result was amazing!
Setting the Stage with a Statement Invitation Suite
The invitation suite was the first glimpse into the playful yet sophisticated vision for this wedding. First, save the dates in mint green cardstock with fireworks impressed into the paper provided that subtle nod to NYE and what was to come. For the invitation suite, we mixed patterns and colors in ways that are rarely seen in winter weddings. The envelopes were a striking combination of light green and dark green, while the invitation sleeve featured a bold blue and light pink floral pattern. A fun blue tassel completed the suite, giving it an elevated, textural element.
These design choices weren’t just beautiful on their own—they set the stage for the patterns and color combinations guests would see throughout the celebration, from the colorful wedding cakes to the lounge furniture at the reception.
Elevating the Guest Experience with Custom Details
Every wedding we work on is an opportunity to craft experiences, and this NYE celebration was no exception. The bride wanted fun, unique moments that guests would remember, and we designed details that delivered just that. One of our favorite elements was the Champagne pass-through and wall display—an elegant and interactive way to kick off the festivities. Guests loved this stylish touch, and it fit seamlessly into the chic, upscale atmosphere of the night.
The Champagne wall we designed showcased the same pattern from the invitation sleeve, tying the event’s visual theme together beautifully. A timeline display on one side and a shelf stocked with NYE swag on the other added an extra dose of fun, making sure guests were ready to ring in the new year in style with confetti poppers and 2025 glasses!
The details didn’t stop at the invitation suite and wall display. We carried the custom design elements through various pieces, including:
- The Rehearsal Dinner welcome sign and menus for a stylish pre-wedding celebration at Liberty Common, just across the street.
- Bar Signage at the reception that brought personality and cohesion to the cocktail hour and reception space.
- Wedding Programs that guided guests through the evening while complementing the wedding’s aesthetic.
A Night to Remember
The bride and groom set the tone for a stylish night with not one but two outfits. For the ceremony, they both kept it classic with the bride in a sleek, white satin gown and the groom in a black tux. When it came time to party, the bride and her bridesmaids changed into fun, sparkly dresses that were perfect for a New Year’s Eve bash, while the groom changed into a blue suit jacket that shimmered in the lights. Their wardrobe change mirrored the entire event’s transformation—from a beautiful wedding ceremony to an all-out NYE celebration complete with confetti!
From the bold, unexpected color palette to the immersive guest experiences, every detail of this NYE wedding came together to create an unforgettable night. Designing the details for this celebration was such an incredible experience, and we loved seeing everything come to life in such a stunning and joyful way.
