We know that New Year’s is typically all about gold and silver, but who says you can’t have a little bit of color too? Actually, how ’bout a LOT of color? Seeing as we’re color-obsessed here at Brit HQ, it only makes sense that we round up a whole bunch of decorations, dishes, and desserts that love color as much as we do. Here’s to a colorful New Year!!
Paper Clocks + Cork Countdown
Colors and clocks! Such a fun decorating theme. (via Fiskars)Honeycomb Ball Chandelier
You can find honeycomb balls or honeycomb paper at most craft and party stores. All you need is a hoop, some wire or string, and you’ve got a brand new chandelier! (via One Charming Party)Flower Party Blowers
A party blower bouquet? Such a good use of party blowers! (via Oh Happy Day)Origami Garland
Simple, geometric, and colorful. (via How About Orange)Color Blocked Cookies
Spice up store-bought cookies by dipping them in colorful cookie icing. (via Brit + Co.)Striped Straws
Never underestimate the power of a colorful straw. These would look pretty darn charming with a sixer of bottled cocktails, don’t you think? (via Amazon)Countdown Cupcakes
