Last Minute New Year’s Eve Decor Ideas

Morning everyone, can you believe that we’re celebrating New Year’s Eve tomorrow night? We’ll be partying with our friends at a house party, but if you’re hosting at your own home, I wanted to give you some last minute decor ideas that will work perfectly for ringing in 2020. I found most of these decorations at my local At Home store, Hobby Lobby, World Market and Party City.

If there is one thing you absolutely need, it’s some oversized 2020 balloons. They instantly light up the room and make it feel like a party. I always get mine from Party City and use clear fishing wire and balloon weights on both sides of the balloons to keep them in place. Also, grab a helium tank and blow up a bunch of gold, white and silver balloons to cover the ceiling and even the floor like I did last year for 2019.

20s style centerpiece

I also recommend metallic tinsel foil fringe curtains that you can hang on the wall or in doorways as a backdrop for photos. See how I how used them below for Blake’s 30th Great Gatsby themed party last year. You can usually find this at your local Walmart, Target or party store.

Assuming you will have food, dessert and drink stations, sequin table cloths or table runners are a nice touch. You can even find some cute plastic ones to use at your local party store if you don’t have time to overnight these from Amazon. If you already have table cloths you’d rather use, just grab some gold and silver confetti to decorate the table with. I suggest the oversized confetti because it’s much easier to clean up.

I found these Gold Rimmed Bubble Glass Coupe Glasses and Bubble Glass Champagne Flutes at World Market.

centerpiece ideas

When it comes to table center pieces, a 20s theme is a great idea since we’re welcoming the 20s this year.  So I grabbed some fun 20s style ornaments from my local At Home store and spread them across the table runner along with champagne glasses filled with gold dipped feathers and pearls that I found at Hobby Lobby. I also used gold and silver beaded garland from At Home to drape across the the middle of the table. Lastly, I added mercury glass glass candles holders with tea light candles inside and spray painted wine bottles metallic gold to fill them with sparkly feathers that I found at my local At Home store. I also used one large gold vase for the middle of the table and filled it metallic feathers for a fun flapper girl feel.

Cozy + Sleek & Dainty For Fall

Hey everyone, it feels so good to get dressed up and accessorize again. I’ve spent so much time lounging around the house in pajamas during the first trimester of pregnancy that I forgot how nice it feels to put on regular clothes and makeup. I’m almost 14 weeks now though so it’s about time! Speaking of time, I recently received the beautiful new kate spade new york hollis leather watch.  It’s such a sleek and dainty timepiece and it pairs perfectly with my other daily jewels. I chose the color clocktower because I love the rose gold against the grey leather. It also come in few other colors too. See here→ kate spade new york hollis leather watch
