I love holiday party season, but after your fourth straight year of attending the same silly sweater party, things can start to feel a little stale. If you’re looking for a fresh new way to give your holiday party a fun twist, try out some of these ideas for unique and super chic holiday party inspiration!

Refined Retro

Like the classic Santa on holiday Coke bottles, there’s something fitting about blending holiday style with retro charm. Give your holiday party a vintage twist for a festive fete that’s sure to be fabulous.

Creative Displays

Giving your holiday party a lift can be as easy as freshening up your presentation. I love the idea of serving cupcakes on upside-down cupcake pans, or adding lollipops to cocktails for a burst of fun color.

Alternative Entertainment

Who says you have to play charades? Transform your nutcracker party into a trip to see the ballet performed nearby, with cocktails after the curtain goes down. You could also have a casual showing of your favorite holiday movies or attend a local choir performance.

Foodie Fun

Make your event easier (and more fun for guests!) but organizing a potluck. You can also consider hosting a brunch, afternoon cocoa & cocktails party or evening wine & dessert party to have a little fun with your food choices for the festivities.

It may seem cheesy to have a Valentine’s Day themed wedding, but with the holiday falling on a Saturday this year, there are bound to be countless weddings with just that.  The look and feel of a Valentine’s Day wedding can be sophisticated, alluring and all-out romantic if it is done well.  Here’s my take:

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:  Vera Wang Gown as shown on Blush; Wedding Cake with Fresh Flowers from Wedding Wire; Christian Louboutin Gabine satin slingbacks from Net-a-Porter.com; Purple and Pink table setting; Love Potion Valentine’s Day Party Invitation from Wedding Paper Divas.
