Ideas for New Years Eve Weddings

From Monica Lorraine 22 01 2012 Planning your wedding

Want to get married at the most exciting time of the year? New Years can be the most wonderful time of the year to get married. Here are some ideas for your new years eve wedding!

Brides- and grooms-to-be you're feeling the holiday spirit right now, so it's the perfect time to day dream about how your wedding will be. So I invite you to picture your big day on New Years Eve:

It's 11am and you wake up at your leisure. You have a champagne brunch with all the hearty dishes you love most to fuel you for the big day ahead. Your friends help you get ready for the big day and you are taking it easy, saving energy for the later hours. You are happy that everyone was able to attend your wedding, because it's the holidays and they don't have work or classes!

Around 3pm, you take a car to your venue where you will hold your ceremony. The place is lit up with hundreds of tea lights in every corner in crimson red and plum purple glasses that give a warm glow, creating a romantic, timeless atmosphere. Everyone is dressed in hues of metalic and gem tones, wearing their biggest smiles as you, the bride, walk down the aisle. The aisle is lined on either side with silver tinsel, reflecting the candlelight onto your supple skin. You are glowing with love and warmth, an escape from the blankets of snow and icicles outside.

The ceremony is finished; your guests gather outside in the chilly January night holding fizzy sparklers as you, the newlyweds, are welcomed outside and make your way to the most exciting part - the reception.

Sitting inside, you can hear the thunder of the first new years eve fireworks in the distance. Your friends and family contributed silver and gold ornaments to hang from bay trees, your friends decorated your table with table crystals and the chairs have white covers with plum coloured satin sashes. Touches of black add elegance, while gold adds warmth. Your cake is lit up with sparklers as you cut the cake.

You finish the evening dinner and the party begins. Confetti and balloons fill the dance floor, as lights flicker and everyone takes their favours - "Happy New Year" hats and festive masks. Your goofy friends sit in the photo booth you set up, taking funny photos with their fun props. Children throw harmless firecrackers on the ground, the sound muffled by rumbling fireworks outside.

And when midnight strikes, giant balloons above explode with smaller balloons falling all around, you kiss your loved one and everyone takes their coats and grab the champagne to rush outside for the big firework show. Champagne spills into every glass a final toast tops off the night.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

- Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

Happy New Year!
