New Years (Champagne) Wedding

A New Years Wedding is all about the time and the count down to midnight. A perfect theme for a New Years Wedding would be a Champagne theme.

New Years Eve Wedding

The Flowers:
Flowers are an important part of a wedding. Not all colour schemes and wedding themes can be matched, some colours are more easily found and some are not. In the case where the colours can't be easily matched a good rule to stick to is using white and the closest possible thing.

The Bride and Groom:
Champagne as a colour is a type of gold and comes in many different shades. A tough job would be to try and match the same shades in this wedding. For everything else it is not a big deal if the shades are off but for the bride's dress and the grooms suit they need to match well enough together or it will be very noticeable. The bride's dress in most cases will be with and just accented with champagne so it isn't going to be that big of a deal if she doesn't match the groom but trying to get them as close as possible would be a good thing. As for the groom a Champagne Vest and Tie and a regular tuxedo should be perfectly fine. ( Dress: Alexia Wedding Dress Style ALEWD00040 Veil: 1 Layer Fingertip Length Wedding Veil)

The Shoes:
Amazingly beautiful shoes for this wedding are the Liliana Women's Pressly-36 Platform Sandal. These shoes match the theme and colour and are perfect for the bridal party also with dresses like this, the shoes would be highlighted well.

The Invitations:
Beautiful invitations are the Champagne Toast set. They match the colour scheme and they highlight the wedding's theme. The Champagne Toast set is from MagnetStreet, and they usually have complete sets that include RSVP Cards and Enclosed Cards.

The Rings:
With Champagne being so close to gold in colour, the natural choice for rings would be a gold one. AliExpress has a beautiful Classic Wedding Ring in Champagne Gold that looks amazing an is a great choice.

The Reception:
Sometimes certain colours aren't easy to find in decorations or in reception items. In this case a regular guest book can be transformed to match the theme simply by adding a bow the same can be applied to a card box.

The Food:
New Years Eve is a party and a great way to keep the party going is to have it later at night and have a late meal set up for the guests. A buffet with a few salads and two or three meat dishes would work great for the night and whenever someone gets hungry they can help themselves. Honey Garlic Chicken is a great option, it can be made with thighs or breasts and they can be cut into bite sized pieces another great option also is Marinated Pork Tenderloin Medallions, the medallions are bite sized and aren't hard to make. Great additions that would go well with both the pork and the chicken would be Sausage and Stuffing Balls, and Spaghetti Squash. Other great options would be a Confetti Pasta Salad, a Frito Salad, and a Spicy Potato Salad.

The Cake:
A great cake for this wedding would be a Champagne Cake with Salted Caramel Buttercream. The buttercream can match the colour of champagne and the cake is absolutely delicious. The New Years cake below is an example of what a single layer cake could look like for a New Years Wedding, or what a top layer could be for a cake. It's perfect for New Years Eve and the champagne bottle is a nice topper, another great topper could be two champagne glasses or even the traditional couple.

Guest Favours:
The guest favour for this wedding is obvious, Personalized Champagne Glasses. They are slightly on the expensive side for guest favours but if the wedding is on the smaller side it shouldn't be that big of an expense.

Centerpieces:
Most centerpieces involve candles or flowers or both. Usually there is only one main thing but a great idea is to combined little things to make one. Like the tall hurricanes below. Adding the three together makes one beautiful centerpiece. A great alternative to water is adding ginger ale, it would mimic the champagne colour and the bubbles for a lot cheaper than a bottle of champagne.

Thank You Cards:
Sometime the invitations have matching thank you cards it makes things so much easier on the couple, they don't have to run around and find something else they like and send this way it's practically done for them.
