Ring In The New Year In Style Following These Four Steps
Even though our plans may have changed, whether you’re opting for a dinner party with friends, a picnic in the park or an intimate night in, there’s no reason we can’t celebrate in style. If we’ve learnt one thing this year, it’s how to play hostess with the mostest, so it's time to put those skills to good use!
Have you booked your pre-party prep? A flawless tan, excellent manicure and beautiful brows are all part of the fun.
Here are 4 ways to spruce up your evening and ring in the new year in style.
1. Dress to impress
Get fancy, get sexy and get fabulous! There’s no excuse not to dress up this new year and the best part? There are no rules! Anything goes. Head to your wardrobe and dust off the cobwebs from some of your favourite party outfits! We’re currently loving the all the latest coming out from Australian label Bec & Bridge as seen below.
Our tip: Go big and go bold! See our top summer beauty trends for some New Years Eve inspiration.
2. Deck out the decor
No matter if you’ll be indoors or outdoors, stylise your set up with some splendid decor. From cutlery and crockery, tablecloths and florals, it’s the little things that can make a big difference. If you're feeling uninspired, head to Pinterest and start scrolling. We’re currently obsessing over all the In The Round House styling at the moment.
Our tip: Why not give your local florist a call, with a lot of events cancelled they may have some leftover stock.
3. Set the mood
When hosting a dinner party it’s all about creating an ambience. From vintage candelabra finds at your local second-hand store, multi-coloured LED strip lights from Bunnings or even repurposing your fairy lights from Christmas, set the mood with soft lighting and curate the perfect playlist to match.
4. Capture the memories
Who doesn’t love all the fun that comes with a disposable camera! With only one shot to get it right, leave a few scattered across the dinner table and get ready for some exceptional (or perhaps not-so-exceptional) memories to be made. It’s those special, spontaneous split seconds which make for the perfect little keepsakes. If you don’t have a disposable camera, the FilmRoll app is just as good and it’s free!
Our tip: When you get them developed, opt for the physical copy as well as the digital - framed photos are a great idea for future gifts in the new year!
