This year I decided for the first time to host in the little cottage I have out back in the yard. It's cozy and intimate with a fireplace and informal seating yet still fits my guest list.
We've decorated for a post to share with you how to recreate the same look. however we'll be hosting the real party on new years eve. If our mini early party we threw for the shoot was any indication of how the real one will be we're in for nothing short of amazing.

Party Theme: Setting the Stage
I went with steely grey blues, silvers and copper. In a nod to a time of classic cocktails, cut crystal and polished nickel I wanted everything to be reminiscent of the deco era. The evening's signature cocktails: moscow mule and old fashioned with champagne at midnight for toasting. I kept the food simple with lots of finger friendly hors d'oeuvres and a tiered cake for midnight.
Decor Items and Tips for Hosting
1. A copper shaker for moscow mule prep and cut crystal (image above) shaker for old fashioneds- two shakers made it easy to differentiate between drinks and cut back on cleanup in-between cocktail prep.

2. A copper ice bucket held individual champagne bottles chilling in ice.



Fresh florals, flicker candles and string lights created the necessary yet simple and easy last minute touches.

6. Charcuterie was prepped ahead of time and brought out on boards to save multiple trips back and forth.

7. The simplest decor addition is a one-of-a-kind PB Found Dough Bowl (that can be used throughout the year) with some Mercury Glass Ornaments casually placed inside.

Happy New Year my sweet friends! As always thank you for joining me and reading along. All the best to each and every one of you for 2018! xo e
