A New Year’s Eve event should be an elegant affair, so plan a silver and black wedding that your friends and family will reminisce about for years.

Include Clocks as a Key Decorative Element

Since you’re having a New Year’s Eve bash, clocks should be a key decorative element. Have clocks spread liberally throughout your reception, especially as your centerpieces, and pick an appropriate invitation, like this one that contains a countdown on the front.

This invitation will set the right mood for your wedding and no one will be left guessing the date. And why not add a variety of clocks as your table centerpieces.

Gift your groom appropriately with a debonair pocket watch to wear for the day. Engrave something special inside or on the back of the timepiece to make the memento even more meaningful.

A pocket watch is a practical gift that your groom can use well after your wedding.

Keep your ceremony and reception decorations elegant and simple with a wintery feel.

This silver cake would be perfect! Hang chandeliers throughout your reception to add an extra touch of grandeur.

Silver accented with black will make any reception space look posh and luxurious.

Go for A Sparkly Wedding Gown

We’ve covered the ambiance of your event, now onto the fun part—your wedding dress! Channel your inner celebrity and wear two wedding dresses—a long, glamorous gown for the ceremony and a short party dress for the reception. There are so many sparkly wedding dresses options that you’re only limited by your sense of style and your budget.

You can go princess-pouffy with beaded bodices:

This Collette Dinnigan wedding dress has an ornately beaded bodice. On the right, this gown by Badgley Mischka is a little bit more understated, but no less gorgeous.

Want more of a sexy, siren look on your wedding day? Here are two options:

This Lazaro wedding gown has a sheer silver top. This Elie Saab beaded gown oozes elegance.

Forget subtle, go all out with the glitz in a full-length sequin gown:

This one-shouldered Rachel Gilbert gown would be perfect for a New Year’s Eve wedding. Jenny Packham designed this silver sequin, open back gown.

Want something more unique? Check out these gowns with “wow factor”:

This short Collette Dinnigan would certainly get your guests talking... in a good way. Who said you have to pair your silver with white? This Zuhair fishtail gown has silver sequins on a nude silk background.

Keep it Simple with Accessories

For your accessories, keep it simple. You’re already sporting a lot of sparkle. Find a stunning headpiece and a killer pair of shoes. That’s pretty much all you’ll need.

An elegant veil and headpiece by Johanna Johnson. These heels by Chinese Laundry have just the right amount of dazzle.

If you want a little more, pick a sleek shrug and a gorgeous clutch.

Want to add a little more warmth to your attire, try this fur shrug by Star by Julien MacDonald or a crystal-encrusted Prada leather clutch.

Skip The Flowers and Add a Brooch Bouquet

The last piece of your wedding day look is your bouquet. It’s the winter, so skip the flowers and add even more bling with a brooch bouquet (a bouquet made out of pins and brooches rather than blossoms). As an added bonus, you can keep your bouquet forever and you can pass them on as an heirloom.

Here is a stunning brooch bouquet from Noaki on Etsy and a smaller, wintery brooch bouquet by Fantasy Floral Designs.

Don’t Forget the Party Dress

Now on to the party dress! Check out this number:

This sexy, backless mini by Antik Batik is a show-stopper.

A couple of sequin gowns that are a little more understated, yet all glamour:

Check out this short-sleeved mini dress from French Connection and this Badgley Mischka dress with a deep v-neck.

Or maybe strapless dresses suit your style:

This Reem Acra dress has a classic silhouette. You don’t have to wear only sequins. This Alice + Olivia dress has a delicate flutter skirt.

Just a couple more:

Take a look at this one-shouldered Rachel Gilbert gown. But you don’t have to wear a short dress. This full-length sequin chiffon Ashish gown is sexy and stylish.

A Touch of Silver for The Groom

If your groom is fashionably adventurous, have him wear a silver suit or tuxedo.

Check out this silver suit by Modest Joe and this silver and black Giorgio Armani suit.

If he’s more like most guys, a silver vest and bow tie will have to suffice.

A typical black tuxedo by Perry Ellis with silver accessories and two slightly different silver bowties.

For your flower girl, choose a silver or black and silver dress with sparkles.

What little girl wouldn’t love this sparkly J.Crew dress? This black and silver dress by Lito has sparkles as well, but is more appropriate if you’re having your wedding somewhere cold.

A Nice Party Dress for Your Bridesmaids

For your ’maids, think party dress more than bridesmaids’ dress. Something with a little sparkle and a lot of style. Just make sure their dresses are different enough from your own.

This tea-length dress by Bill Blass has just enough sparkle. Want something a little warmer? This Aidan Mattox sequin dress has long sleeves.

After you finish recovering from ringing in the new year, start planning your New Year’s Eve wedding because, unlike a typical New Year’s Eve, you can’t just figure out what you want to do the night before.
