New Year's Eve Decor

Magnolia Bluebird Design & Events created a bright, colorful dinner setting inspired by interior decorator Dorothy Draper, who was known for combining bold tones with black and white.

"Vintage party hats, shimmering accents, and a mix of holiday floral, coupled with classic black-and-white stripes, say holiday fun without being too 'in your face,'" says Danielle Couick, principal of the Columbia, Maryland-based event planning company.

Traditional mini holiday lightbulbs add a simple, festive decor touch.

Number-shaped sugar cookies, provided by Arlington, Virginia-based bakery Sugar Pixie Sweets, are a unique way to count down to midnight.

Individual bottles of champagne and place cards with calligraphed names by Arney Walker Calligraphy dress up each table setting.

Black cocktail napkins feature a clever New Year toast in silver ink.

Svedka bottles and the message "New Year, Same You" decorated a photo backdrop at the brand's "Broken Resolutions" bash.

While acrobats performed live routines on treadmills at the "Get Fit" station, guests watched from comfy recliners nearby.

Performers wore black and gold coordinating outfits, to inject a bit of sparkle that producer Jessica Fels said was a necessary component to the event's design.

Marquee-style lights that spelled out "Drink Less" made for an ironic backdrop for the bar. Similarly, signature cocktails had playful names, including "Eat More Fruit," a libation made with Svedka Grapefruit Jalapeno vodka and melon liqueur.

The "Volunteer" area encouraged guests to play up their narcissistic tendencies at mirrored selfie stations.

A doughnut wall from Hollywood Candy Girls was marked with signage that read "Eat Better."

Cocktail napkins were emblazoned with the event's hashtag, #SvedkaDoYou, and the tagline, "New Year, Same You."
