Winter party season has arrived, and with reports of an increase in sales of dinner party tableware, Blooming Artificial shares their top picks for dressing up your homes and creating a welcoming experience for your guests this New Years Eve.
Elevate your décor with welcoming colours, bring the outside in, or transport your friends and family to the Mediterranean and beyond with these ‘get the look’ themes.
Artificial fiesta wreath – £49
Wish farewell to Autumn, and welcome in the festive season with this vibrant artificial fiesta garland. An artificial garland is a wonderful choice as it can be used for many Christmases to come and styled differently each year. Cast across your dinner table, wrap around your staircase, or drape above a cosy fireplace to spread the festivities far and wide. Why not take a dinner party as an opportunity to step away from traditional roast turkeys and nut roasts, and try a parsnip, mushroom and barley wreath, glazed roast duck or parsnip gnocchi.
In the spirit of spending time with your loved ones, choose an Italian dinner party to connect over glorious wine, pasta and tiramisu. After serving food, transport your guests to the Amalfi coast, with traditional Limoncello made from Amalfi lemons. Take your decorations beyond the tablescape and embrace the Italian culture with this vibrant artificial lemon tree.
Artificial tequila sunrise bouquet – £68.48
‘70s revival’ is a nostalgic trend that combines joyful patterns and textures in both fashion and interior design. Why not celebrate the return, with a 70s themed dinner party? Encourage groovy outfits from guests and use retro plates, cups and napkins for presentation. Serve a round of Tequila Sunrise cocktails and share a fun fact with your attendees that the cocktail originated in California, during the 70s. To combine the popular shades of 70s décor and your chosen cocktail, Blooming Artificial recommends the artificial tequila sunrise bouquet, bursting with shades orange and yellow.
Artificial bougainvillea – £65
Transport your home to the Mediterranean Islands by adding an artificial bougainvillea to your dining space. This beautiful plant is recognisable from the luxury resorts of Greece and Spain , and will add charming bursts of colour and summer reminiscence to any space this season. Bring back the long, warm summer nights and reminisce on the beautiful memories made in the sunshine just a few months ago. Couple with houmous, feta, meatballs and pitas to fully immerse your guests into the Mediterranean experience.
Artificial wisteria garland – £30
Japanese–themed dinner parties are perfect for the creative and well-organised individuals as presentation is everything. Bamboo sake cups, ceramic dishes and red lacquer plates are a few places to start with serving food. To further embrace Japanese culture, drape this charming artificial wisteria garland across your dinner table. Wisteria is a beautiful climbing shrub that is well known in Japan. Both locals and visitors can visit Wisteria gardens, arches and tunnels, to admire its beauty.
