New Year's Eve is a fantastic time to have a wedding. What better way to ring in the New Year than with a new marriage? Not to mention which, all of your guests will be in the mood for a great party. A really rich idea for a New Year's Eve wedding is purple and gold. Here is what you need to know to pull it off:

Purple and gold can be a nice alternative to the typical silver New Year's wedding. The metallic gold is perfect for such an occasion, and and the purple adds that regal touch that is so special. The purple and gold combination is also reminiscent of that ultimate winter party, Mardi Gras, which will definitely make your wedding feel even more festive and fun (bring in a fleur-de-lis motif if you want to enhance this feeling). You can use purple and gold accents throughout the wedding, from the flowers to the linens to the invitations, and so much more.

An ivory bridal gown will look better with purple and gold than a pure white gown. The warm of the ivory is gorgeous with the rich colors. Choose a gown which is not only a warm cream, but also is created in a luxurious fabric like glowing silk satin or luxurious silk velvet. Gold embroidery on the bodice and hem of the wedding dress will add that royal feeling. You can finish off your New Year's wedding look with custom bridal jewelry. The bridal jewelry set can be handcrafted in gleaming gold with purple crystal accents which are sure to dazzle.

Purple is a terrific color to use for wedding flowers. Since a New Year's wedding should be elegant and sophisticated, stick with the very deepest shades of purple; avoid pastels like lavender or lilac. A flowing cascade bouquet of purple orchids trimmed with a very wide gold satin or organza bow would be stunning for the bride. For something a bit more traditional, purple roses and lisyanthus can be combined in a round bouquet. If you have adopted the fleur-de-lis motif, have it embroidered on the ends of your bouquet ribbon for a very special detail.

The gold and purple color scheme will look incredible for the reception decorations. Layer shimmery gold table squares over long purple dupioni tablecloths for the ultimate in table top luxury. Tall centerpieces incorporating the purple orchids will look smashing in gold vases (choose an antiqued gold for a more subtle effect). Set the table with gold rimmed china and crystal, and for the perfect finishing touch, tie a gold tassel around the napkin at each place setting.

A New Year's Eve wedding is always going to be an incredible party, so be sure to bring in a great band or d.j. to get the party started right. Purple signature cocktails will add to the festive feeling. Naturally you will want to have some fun things to help your guests ring in the New Year. Gold masks and noisemakers will be great. Perhaps the masks for the female guests can even be decorated with purple feathers. One thing is for sure, your purple and gold New Year's wedding is going to be the hottest wedding of the year!
