Rosevine Cottage Girls: New Years Eve Party

Happy New Year! Where did 2017 go? It seems like it was just yesterday we were ringing in a New Year... It's been an extremely full year for us, I don't know about you but I always found New Years Eve kind of sad like you are saying goodbye to an old friend. We've made some great memories this year from trips abroad to hiking to waterfalls, to trying new things and catching up with old friends.

You can't have a New Years Eve Party without having a year starting centerpiece! We wanted to keep it sparkly and elegant. We covered our dining table with a black tablecloth, added candelabras, silver candlesticks and mirrored cones, a vase of gold and silver ornaments and a clock face take center stage this year.

We added a touch of greenery to add a splash of color like we did in our Christmas tablescape.

We scattered crystals here and there around the table to tie in the candelabras ( I actually stole these from my tree).

We used a collection of silver trays as chargers beneath these beautiful star bone-china plates.

Wassail
1-gallon apple cider
1-quart pineapple juice
6 ounce can of frozen orange juice concentrate
27 whole cloves
8 cinnamon sticks

Mix cider, pineapple juice, and orange juice concentrate in a large crockpot. In cheesecloth place, cloves and cinnamon sticks, tie a knot around them with the cheesecloth and add to liquid. Heat. Serve hot. Make sure you take the seasonings out before storing. We like to make this at least the morning before we serve it so it will have plenty of time to mingle.
