New Year's Eve is definitely the most glamorous night of the whole year to have a wedding. Black, white, and silver is a chic color palette that will bring out the stylish flair of the holiday. Learn how to plan an unforgettable New Year's Eve wedding using a black, white, and silver color scheme.
It almost goes without saying that a New Year's Eve wedding should be black tie. Classic black tie always looks the most elegant; while rental shops may suggest colorful vests for the groom and groomsmen, a black cummberbund is more dashing and timeless. Silver dresses will be the clear choice for the bridesmaids. If they are comfortable in slender silhouettes, slinky silk sheaths would be ideal. Choose ones with a gathered bustline and wide straps, like something from the Golden Age of Hollywood in the 1930s. Big sparkly crystal jewelry will complete their look perfectly. If you want to up the drama factor, your bridesmaids could wear little maribou stoles over their dresses for the ceremony.

If blue is definitely going to be your theme, you can remain stylish with an array of cobalt, navy, French, Wedgewood and pale blues all mixed in together. There is no reason why many types of blue cannot all be mixed together. The variation in tones will give your tables so much depth and interest as guests enter your reception room.
So, how can you create this sensation? The best way to attain depth is through your favours as these will be prominent on your table settings. One idea would be to give guests square boxes with lids with alternate bases and lids. In other words, mix and match blue bases with white lids and tie them with either blue or white satin ribbon. To complete the look you could tie matching satin ribbon on place cards or use it within your floral centrepieces.
