New Years is absolutely my favorite holiday! Whether you’re planning your own New Years wedding, or hosting a party at your home, this gorgeous holiday shoot from Amber Karson Events and Sweet Tea Photography by Lisa Marie is sure to give you some fabulous inspiration for your event. The tabletop and decor feature an elegant metallic color palette, and of course, festive New Years must-haves such as confetti and fun cocktails!
The pretty countdown wall, created from picture frames, is also the perfect background for the photo booth, and of course, lots of clocks are scattered around to welcome in the new year.
A fun and easy DIY project for your New Years wedding or party is creating handmade confetti! Items from around your house such as tinsel from the Christmas tree, extra tissue paper from gift wrapping, or ribbon are perfect for re-use on your festive toss station.
Holiday s’mores dipped in edible gold sprinkles provide the traditional treat with an extra glam factor.
An antique card-holder displays New Years resolutions – a fabulous guest book idea or a fun keepsake item for your party.

Such a cool idea with the countdown clocks on the tables! I agree it’s hard to beat a great new year’s eve party. It’s definitely my favourite time of year whether it’s a formal gathering with confetti and formal attire or a picnic blanket and fireworks. Love the photos. Really amazing.
