Monday Mashups: I'm Dreaming of a Black and White Christmas

Usually for Christmas you see a lot of red and green and even metallics. This year, we suggest going with a classic black and white theme for your holiday cocktail party. The chic look will display elegance and create a 'James Bond' feel for the evening. Get creative with the simplicity of this theme by incorporating some of the festive ideas below!

Chef Shadowboxes

Thank you Wolfgang Puck Catering for this great idea. These shadowboxes are meant to provide a strong visual behind a more standard food station. The chef can prepare appetizers as guests look on for an added feature. We love them for this theme because it can be done in black and white.

Dessert Table

Stick with the black and white sweets. From whoopie pies to truffles, your guests will love them all. We even suggest these chocolate dipped Oreos and Rice Krispie treats for fun favorites!

O Tannenbaum

Surprise your guests with this beautiful ombre Christmas Tree. We love how it fades from white to black. It fits perfectly with this theme!

Then use these smaller trees to create another focal point in other areas of the party.

These paper trees fit perfectly as part of an elegant tablescape design. Create a little forest on your table and even utilize these as place cards.

Important Idols

Notice the manger on display? How elegantly done. Plus the banner draws the perfect amount of attention to this beautiful feature. This décor can be placed anywhere and still give off the same level of importance.

Creative Candles

The differentiation in height and candle type make for a wonderful and thoughtful personal touch. This display brings warmth to the party! And the pinecones are just too cute.
 
Ornate Ornaments

Ornaments sparkle and shine and are perfect to fill vases of every shape and size! These can also turn into the favors for your guests. Let them pick their favorite to add to their own tree as a token of a great night!

Dining Details

The contrast of the white napkins, black holdrs and sparkling white ornaments makes for the perfect rollup on the dining table. Easy to make, this is also a way to save some money by doing it yourself!

Black bowties make for a sweet detail on champagne flutes or wine glasses. Your guests will certainly be cheers-ing to a fun and festive night!

Take this Monday Mashup on and show us how you got creative with your black and white Christmas display! Devour the details and keep dreaming of a black and white Christmas!
