When we think of festive winter color palettes, the usual red, green, white, and blue take center stage. But in 2024, we’re seeing a twist on tradition! Almost any color can become a modern seasonal staple when mixed with the right metallics or infused with a classic holiday hue. Whether you’re planning a wedding, hosting a glam soirée, or putting together a company holiday party, nontraditional color schemes are all the rage. So, if you’re ready to break out of the red-and-green box, WildFlower Stem & Sundry is rounding up some show-stopping holiday colorways and party themes that are sure to impress!
The Roaring 20s (Black & Gold)
Channel the glitz, glam, and allure of the 1920s with this luxe black and gold palette. Think Gatsby, but make it winter! The deep, dramatic black adds elegance, while pops of gold bring warmth and festivity. It’s a versatile combo that can work for anything from a formal New Year’s Eve bash to an intimate winter wedding. Black and gold are here to serve drama, and your holiday event will feel nothing short of iconic.
Frosty Elegance (Blue & Gold)
This “Frosty Elegance” theme blends cool sophistication and subtle warmth. Soft blues capture that crisp, wintry vibe, while gold adds a touch of luxury, elevating the entire aesthetic. It’s like bringing the sparkling beauty of a snow-covered evening into your party. Perfect for both cozy gatherings and upscale events, this palette can lean modern with clean lines and metallic accents, or be dressed up with lush textures like velvet and satin. It’s snowy mountain lodge meets high-end cocktail party.
Free to Be (Plum & Gold)
If you’re looking to break free from the status quo and stray from the beaten path of holiday hues, plum and gold might be your new best friends. Deep, rich plum is dramatic, bold, and gorgeous, especially in winter. It feels luxurious but also brings a certain warmth that’s perfect for the season. Plus, plum pairs well with other nontraditional hues like navy or blush, giving you plenty of flexibility to make this theme your own. Add a hint of gold, and you’ve got an unexpectedly festive look that’s rich without being overpowering. It’s a stunning colorway for holiday weddings, lavish dinner parties, or any event where you want guests to feel like royalty.
Inspired by Mother Nature (Browns & Creams)
Earth tones are having a moment — and for a good reason. Inspired by the natural world, a palette of browns and creams feels organic, grounded, and oh-so-cozy. It’s a vibe that reminds us of peaceful winter landscapes, making it perfect for rustic or boho-themed gatherings. Imagine wooden tables, cream linens, and rustic centerpieces filled with dried foliage and white winter blooms. It’s a fresh take for a laid-back holiday event with a touch of elegance.
Winter Wonderland (Silver & White)
No holiday party theme roundup would be complete without a “Winter Wonderland.” Silver and white are a classic combo that captures the essence of freshly fallen snow and glittering icicles. Silver adds sparkle without being too loud, while white keeps things sleek, modern, and minimal. Incorporate seasonal textures, like shimmery tablecloths, white faux-fur accents, and silver candles to give the whole event a magical glow. Perfect for events that call for a bit of fairytale magic, this theme works beautifully for everything from corporate events to upscale dinners.
Break away from traditional holiday hues and let your event shine with a fresh spin on festive colors. And if you’re looking for someone to bring your vision to life, connect with the experts at WildFlower Stem & Sundry to design the winter event of your dreams.
