Great Gatsby! What a night.

Our client has been throwing legendary New Year's Eve parties for 13 years. We were challenged to create an event that would live up to their standards and showcase their newly remodeled home. Their house screamed Gatsby, so we launched into a Roaring 20s theme.  Our approach was to take it room by room. We styled the kitchen into a raucous speakeasy, the living room into a glamorous black and white ballroom, the porch was tented into a parlor/study and the dining room elegantly pampered into a romantic feast for the eyes.

We spent days scouring our favorite thrift stores to create these magnificent cut-glass tiers. We must admit the inspiration came from Joolz Restaurant in Bend, where Juli is the master of all things bold and beautiful. To keep with the period feel, we incorporated small mismatched china plates from our favorite vintage house in Portland, Something Borrowed. 

An army of mini champagne bottles tied with rhinestone bows welcomed guests to the party. Even Daisy Buchanan couldn't have resisted drinking champagne with a straw!

20s vocabulary sprinkled throughout the party encouraged guests to use the lingo of the era.

Covering large party poppers with decorative paper was an easy way to take a simple party favor and turn it into something a little more festive.

At midnight we rolled out the old-school champagne tower for the toast. It was a show-stopper. So were the pigs-in-a-blanket served in shot glasses with Moroccan mustard. 

Happy New Year, Old Sport!
