Modern Christmas Cocktail Party: Decor

By Karen Perkins


Modern Christmas Cocktail Party: Decor
It can be hard to shake the idea that Christmas decorations always involve classic red and green. That is just not the case, especially when it is for a modern soiree. Put a twist on the color combo and use hot pink and lime green instead. Used on traditional decorations, these colors put some pop in party decor.


  • O Christmas Tree How about dozens of trees in shades of pink and lime? Choose different sizes and shapes in funky materials like tinsel, glitter and even candy. Then scatter them throughout the party venue grouping some together for impact.
  • Ornament Hang Up Let the ceiling be the decorative focal point of the party. Using fishing line cut in various lengths, hang simple ball ornaments around the room. You could also arrange bunches from light fixtures for a cool chandelier effect. Use brightly colored ornaments or buy clear glass ones and make your own.
