No matter what time of year it is, you can throw a party with a winter theme to create a mesmerizing venue. Although that’s easier said than done, capturing the seasonal aesthetic throughout the year is an attainable vision. If you need help bringing that vision to life, try these easy and creative ideas for a winter wonderland-themed party.
Sheer Voile Drapes
When you want to decorate with a winter theme, seek a set of elegant sheer voile drapes. This décor is a welcome part of your arsenal because it mimics falling snow's soft, white characteristics. Plus, you can get creative with the placement of your drape backdrop.
For instance, the right setup can give drapes a flowing quality instead of simply covering a wall. Consider using tieback bands when you shop around for party drapes for sale. These bands can help you bring that stunning flowing quality out of the drapes—a simple but enchanting touch to the party design.
An Outdoorsy Atmosphere
Some of the winter season’s most iconic imagery relates to the outdoors, including snowfall, ice-coated trees, and green wreaths. So if you’re throwing a winter-themed party, bringing a natural touch to the décor is a wonderful choice.
Faux white Christmas trees are perfect focal points for this occasion. However, suppose you don’t want the décor to be Christmas-specific. In that case, elegant fabric backdrops and vases with beautiful flowers are still great ways to echo your color scheme and outdoor aesthetic cohesively.
Ice-Cold Designs
Prioritizing white décor is excellent for winter themes because it evokes the bright snow of the season. That said, you can bring a touch of creative contrast to your design by mixing white and deep, cool blues.
In doing so, you create a visual theme that echoes the blue ice in massive glaciers. Suffice it to say, bright yellow and orange don’t capture that chilly winter atmosphere. In addition, add reflective materials in the venue to better capture an icy aesthetic.
Prioritizing the Lighting
The proper lighting can enhance all the winter-themed decorations significantly. For example, reflective materials can bounce lighting around a party venue and create a dazzling appearance. So keep your seasonal colors in mind to help the light bounce throughout your desired design aesthetic.
Warm lighting evokes the feeling of a streetlight shining over a midnight snowfall. On the other hand, cool blue lighting can capture an icy atmosphere without impacting the venue’s temperature.
Tasty Themed Treats
Always look to your food when you want to brainstorm creative ideas for a winter wonderland themed-party. Specifically, desserts and drinks are the perfect vehicles for showcasing deliciousness and decorative designs.
Whether they look like snowballs or snowmen, white cakes and cookies look fun and will perfectly represent the winter aesthetic. Likewise, white cocktails capture the snowy season, so hire a bartender who can make delicious drinks that fit your theme. Now that you know the best elements for a winter party, you can start planning today.
