Festive party decor is all about high glamour this season. We are talking new luxe chic with lots of cosiness (read hygge). Every year, party decor is getting a little creative, and a lot personalised. With retro revival being the buzz in all things fashionable, it was only a matter of time before home decor too went down this route. Sophisticated metallic is the theme for party decor this season.
Be a party starter
Stick to one colour theme - gold, silver or green. Even for the Christmas tree, use small 'interesting' (handmade, if possible) decorations. Here are few pointers that will get your decor and party skills up to speed:
Colour code: Think delicate Champagne colours and beautifully bordered linens in velvet. Party decor is more about feeling good and mood elevation. Go for deep bold colours, textured tablecloths and layered textures.
Think green: Go for more natural decorations. Use earthy colours mixed with gold for your tree. Get the green from outside and put it inside for a pollution-free party. Use solar lights.
Floral fun: Over-the-top floral accents continue to have a moment. But stick to only one flower. Be it roses, chrysanthemums, white tulips or orchids. Don't forget to decorate every nook and cranny. Poinsettias in white ceramic pots also work.
Party basics: Entertaining is all about quality over quantity with some personal touches. From the food and drinks to the decor, everything will be carefully crafted and thoughtfully curated. Minimalism and mindfulness are the new high points in 2017.
Food facts: Go for easy nibbles, not big meals. That's why the cutlery is also smaller and elegant. Food shouldn't get in the way of mingling. Create fruity centerpieces with fruits like plums and pomegranates on a gold plate.
We aren't seeing mindless partying now. That's why the decor is also subdued and elegant
