Mila Kunis: Santa Baby

Want a party that sizzles this christmas? Mila Kunis is the perfect inspiration with her dark locks and natural passion for the acting biz, which has been exemplified through her already extensive career in acting beginning as a child, leading to her recent achievements earning nominations for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award for her supporting role in Black Swan . Beyond this, Mila is also a traditionalist with a strong sense of her Ukrainian Jewish roots, and has often been shown in the media proudly speaking in her native tongue. A party modeled after this fiery personality should be a perfect blend of youth, exuberance, with traditional elements to tie together the look.

The Decor
To make a bold statement at your next holiday party, choose a striking colour palette while still remaining traditional by using a deep ruby red and lime green as an accent for the basis for your decor. To give a modern feel to these long standing traditional colours of Christmas,implement pieces that are simplified to one hue. A modern wreath can be achieved by using a vibrant red poinsettia with table clothes to match, and colour vibrations are creating by placing solid lime green accents throughout the room. Place lime green plates, napkin holders, and candelabras on a stark red base, and use fresh sprigs of holly and pine as a centerpiece. This can be translated to a tree by colour blocking ornaments and trimmings to maximize contrast. Decorate with red tinsel, and only use lime green baubles to finish the look. In doing so you will have a modern, fresh look that is as trendy and yet traditional as Mila is so effervescently.

What to Wear
Mila never goes to an event without donning the hottest fashions, and a Kunis inspired party should go with no exceptions. Have your guests dress in formal attire with ladies in cocktail dresses, and men in black tie only.

Katy Perry: California Christmas

We are inspired by Katy Perry’s talent as a singer, songwriter and actress, and can’t get enough of her vintage vixen fashion statements, and classic beauty. She has the ability to effortlessly transition from classic beauty to sexy pin-up, and doesn’t fear controversy, boldly releasing singles like “I Kissed a Girl” and “Ur So Gay.” It would only stand to reason that she would throw a holiday party that would be as unique as her personality and we have created a katy-inspired bash that breaks all convention and has a fun California lovin’ candy coated aesthetic.

The Decor
For a sickeningly sweet Katy Perry look, go wild and pick a wide colour pallet of jewel toned colours in hues of pink, blue, purple, red, orange, and green. In most cases a christmas tree should be a traditional green spruce, but a white tree decorated in contrasting candy themed decorations will exude the perfect amount of visual interest to create this look without it looking gimmicky. It’s all about taking risk and none more so than the tree, so finish off the look with twinkling lights in a multitude of colours. On a mantel hang a modern feathered wreath in a wild colour like cotton candy pink. Utilize this mismatched contrasting aesthetic of jewel tones in every aspect of your decor. To set up a holiday feast, use a vibrant pink table cloth, blue place mats, and green ceramics. Everything down to the gifts can follow this wild out of sorts look. Instead of a traditional bow topper, dress up your presents with glittering disco balls, colourful baubles, or candy.

What to Wear
Knowing Katy Perry, she is not going to show up to a party in a classic black dress. Have fun with it and have your guests dressed in themed wear! Think Christmas mardi gras to match your wild decor, or set a “tacky christmas sweater” mandate. The choice is yours, and with Katy Perry the options are endless.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Winter in Love

The inspiration for this party was Gwyneth Paltrow, which is a reflection of her purity, sweetness, and romantic allure. This blonde blue eyed Dutch beauty is a phenomenal actor and singer who has charmed the world with her poise and grace, and is most recognized for her Oscar winning performance in Shakespeare in Love. This party theme references the ironic words of this Romeo and Juliet recreation; Love is the Only Inspiration.

The Decor
The colour scheme for hosting an opulent holiday evening filled with romance, should be simple and neutral. To epitomize Gwyneth’s angelic facade, try creating a white winter wonderland. Adorn your mantel with white tinsel and snow, gives your sofas and chairs a quite refurbish by covering them with a white slip, and add gold and silver trimmings and decor to your christmas tree. Turn your room into an ethereal forest by adding whimsical white branches with a touch of silver to your vases and planters. To set off all of the silver decor, try hanging twinkling white indoor lights, light some white clean burning candles, and dim the lights to set the mood. Finally, a pop of red poinsettias or roses will be a stark contrast against all of the white, and will add that touch of Shakespearean romance to your decor.

What to Wear
Have a dress code of white/silver, to encapsulate the theme which will add a touch of elegance to your celebrity status affair. (This may keep guests mindful of keeping their own attire as well as your white wonderland unstained! May we suggest a white wine spritzer as oppose to a red for this affair?)
