Endless lights, sparklers, and cocktails are absolutely encouraged
Unlike most occasions, New Years Eve is meant to be overloaded with glitter, sparklers, glitz, and lots of bubbly beverages. Sparkly bridesmaid dresses, gold and black décor, cheerful champagne centerpieces, and festive décor are not only accepted on New Years Eve, but are absolutely necessary when throwing a proper celebration.

Motivation to kick-off your New Year’s resolutions couldn’t come at a better time when hosting such an indulgent wedding. Throw your cares out the window when it comes to excessive selfie-stick use, too-many pours of champagne, and far too many plates worth of dark chocolate truffles.
