This time last year we were busy preparing for a very special New Years Eve Wedding. I love New Years weddings, they have such a great energy and what a fantastic day to have an anniversary! A wedding on New Years Eve has a certain theme built right into it, but throw in a camp setting and a giant lit fireplace together and we were very excited to pull together all the elements! The bride and groom wanted to bring the theme of time and New years into the wedding but with a natural and eclectic look – with very little plastic! Using white linens, we added slices of a locally fallen trees and added in cranberry colored blooms with local greens.
We scoured vintage shops fora few perfect vintage clocks to add to the decor to go with an amazing collection from the brides family friend. Clocks were on the tables as part of the centerpieces to add to the time theme, welcoming people at the welcome table and hanging behind the head table in an open backdrop. The couple added their own bits of DIY elements with a cake topper talking about their professions and ceremony programs in kraft card stock.
The ceremony was at a camp which added the perfect amount of charm. The ceremony was in the “rec hall” and the 8 foot long by 1 foot wide mantle we stuffed with as many candles as it would hold as well as lit the fire below.
Just before midnight guests were allowed to open a chevron printed kraft bag from each place setting that had a mini champagne bottle confetti Poppers and midnight kiss mints to help ring in the new year!
We were able to source cranberry colored Peonies as they are the brides favorite flower and had one for each table and a few for her boquet. When the clock struck midnight out come some more vintage props for the photobooth and some noisemakers to keep the party going well into the night!
