Sparkling, opulent and black-tie are key words to use as inspiration when thinking of a New Year’s Eve wedding theme. It’s all about glamour, glitter and gold.
New Year’s Eve Themed Wedding
For brides and grooms-to-be who love a bit of glitz and glam, throwing a New Year’s Eve wedding is the perfect excuse to go all out with the opulence on your wedding day (as if you need an excuse, in the first place).
Here are our top tips and must-haves to ensure your New Year’s Eve wedding is the most sparkly occasion of the year.
Spectacular Wedding Gown
New Year’s Eve is the one night of the year you can really go all out with your outfit. And your wedding day is the day when all eyes are on you. So, it goes without saying that a New Year’s Eve wedding calls for an spectacular dress. We’re talking floor sweeping gowns, gold detailing, crystal embellishment and dramatic veils.
If we had to name a decade that encapsulates the level of extra you’d want to channel, it’s the 1920s. An era of opulence and excess, it’s the perfect inspiration for a New Year’s Eve wedding theme. We’re loving Eliza Jane’s Roaring 20s collection.

Beautiful Bridesmaid Dresses
While you steal the show in an extravagant wedding gown, New Year’s Eve is all about excess and that mean there’s enough sparkle to go around your bridesmaids, too. Full length, sparkle and sass are the look du jour when it comes to your bridesmaids’ dresses at a New Year’s Eve wedding.
