Christmas The festive season's most decadent party
As the snow falls and the glistening of Christmas lights frames every building, we find ourselves searching for indulgence and opulence at every opportunity. Pair that with the stacked social calendar that comes with December, and we start dreaming of the perfect luxe festive party, from the venue all the way through to the sequin styles that accompany it.
The Venue
Dark wood walls lay the foundations for a luxurious festive party, with an oversized Christmas tree and chandeliers creating a warm glow that feels both cosy and seductive. Complete the scene with guests moving through the room in black maxi dresses that billow with every step or silver sequin pieces that catch the light and add a mystical quality.
The Menu
This season, decadence is on the table. Think platters of oysters, caviar and bellinis and meringues, all washed down with the sound of a cork flying and the taste of fizz. And let us not forget the cheese fondue tower that brings warmth and comfort to the celebration. After all, it is a time to be merry.
The Decor
With dresses adorned with sequins and hand embellishments, the decor must match the spectacle. Dripping in luxury, candles scatter the room alongside star lanterns, bows galore and satin tablecloths draped across the table. Seek colours that whisper richness, such as braised burgundy, forest green and champagne gold.
The Host
You have heard the saying hostess with the mostest. It could not be more fitting for a festive party. So, don your best mini dress, hold your head high and move through the room with confidence and poise. Look for showstopping elements in your outfit, from clean sartorial lines to contrasting luxury fabrics that feel buttery to the touch and colours that evoke the festive spirit.
The Attendee
Every good attendee brings a gift, so bring the gift of style by matching your occasion wear to the surroundings. A ballroom fit for a royal celebration deserves a dress that reflects its grandeur. If you are heading to a boutique cocktail bar, choose a festive number to pair with your drink. Think red satin to mirror your merlot or olive green to complement your dirty martini.
