Red, green, white, and blue might be winter classics, but this year, holiday color palettes are getting a modern makeover! 2024 is all about using unexpected hues and mixing in metallics or timeless tones to create something fresh. From trendy winter weddings to elegant soirées and spirited office parties, vibrant, nontraditional color schemes are the hottest choice. If you’re ready to break free from tradition, Griffin’s Floral Designs has rounded up unique holiday themes and color combos that are sure to wow your guests this season!
The Roaring 20s (Black & Gold)
Embrace the glitz and timeless elegance of the 1920s with a stunning black and gold palette. Think a wintry twist on Gatsby! The boldness of black adds drama, while gold brings in that festive, celebratory glow. This combo is perfect for everything from an elegant New Year’s gathering to an intimate winter wedding. Black and gold will turn your holiday event into the most stylish soiree of the year.
Frosty Elegance (Blue & Gold)
This “Frosty Elegance” theme is all about cool sophistication with a hint of warmth. Soft blues evoke the crisp beauty of winter, while touches of gold add a luxurious glow to the scene. It’s like capturing a snowy evening’s sparkle right in your venue. Ideal for both intimate gatherings and upscale soirées, this palette can go sleek and modern with metallic touches or feel plush with textures like velvet and satin. Imagine a high-end cocktail party set in a snowy lodge—pure winter magic!
Free to Be (Plum & Gold)
If you’re ready to venture beyond the classic holiday palette, consider plum and gold as your festive go-tos. Deep plum is bold and luxurious, adding a cozy warmth that feels right at home in winter. This rich hue works beautifully with other nontraditional shades, like navy or blush, giving you endless ways to personalize the look. With a hint of gold, you get a holiday palette that’s striking yet perfectly balanced. Plum and gold bring an elevated flair to holiday weddings, upscale dinner parties, or any occasion where you want guests to feel like royalty.
Inspired by Mother Nature (Browns & Creams)
Earth tones are always in style, and for a good reason! Rooted in nature, a mix of browns and creams feels comforting, grounded, and effortlessly chic. It’s a palette that conjures up peaceful winter scenes, making it an ideal choice for rustic or boho-themed gatherings. Imagine tables set with wood accents, cream linens, and rustic centerpieces filled with dried leaves and snowy blooms. This look is a fresh, relaxed take on holiday style with just a touch of understated elegance.
Winter Wonderland (Silver & White)
No holiday party theme roundup would feel complete without a “Winter Wonderland.” This classic silver and white combo brings to mind snowy landscapes and glistening icicles. Silver adds a subtle sparkle, while white keeps the look crisp, modern, and refined. Add in seasonal textures, like shimmering tablecloths, white faux-fur accents, and silver candles to create an enchanting glow. Ideal for events that need a touch of magic, this theme works perfectly for everything from corporate parties and family holiday dinners to romantic winter weddings.
Give your holiday event a breath of fresh air with colors that break the mold. When you’re ready to turn your ideas into a festive winter gathering, Griffin’s Floral Designs is here to make it happen.
