The temps may be dropping, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to freeze. Inspired by “Emily in Paris” and her glamorous escape to the French countryside, we created our own winter bachelorette theme, “Martinis and Beanies.” We’re infusing the elegance of après-ski with neutral touches and plenty of martinis for everyone. This theme beautifully combines ski-lodge elegance with some cozy touches making winter the most thrilling season of all. Here is your guide on how to throw a Martinis and Beanies winter bachelorette party.
Guide To the Martinis and Beanies Bachelorette Party
Our goal is for you to have the most memorable party out there. We want your girls to still be talking about how amazing your party was years down the road. The best way to do that is through the theme. With our guide, we’ll set you up with the best bach inspiration so your party is nothing but high vibes and good times.
Martinis and Beanies Winter Bachelorette Party Inspiration Board
As with every party, we begin with an inspiration board. For this event, we want to capture a cozy winter chic aesthetic with a touch of classic elegance. Our goal is to blend neutral tones with metallic accents, evoking the classic old-money ski vibe. Imagine a fusion of the French countryside from “Emily in Paris” combined with your favorite influencer’s ski trip to create the perfect chic and cozy atmosphere for an unforgettable bachelorette party.
Set the Tone With Your Color Palette
For this theme, we love the colors silver, gold, and white. To represent the martinis, you can even throw in an olive green color into your decor.
Martinis and Beanies Invitations
When it comes to invites, you’ll want to make them stand out. It’s the first thing that introduces the theme to your gals and gets them excited about your party. There are a few options you can do with your invites. You could go the modern route and make an e-vite on Canva, or you could go the old-school route and buy a paper copy. The ones that we have below are great options. They clearly tell you what the theme is and show you what the color scheme is.
Martinis and Beanies Bachelorette Party Decor
When it comes to your martinis and beanies bachelorette party decor, we’re all about using simple but stunning decor to make your party memorable. Decorating your space doesn’t need to be a hassle. Below, we mapped out some easy decor that’ll make your party Instagram-worthy.
Spiral candles
When decorating, we love incorporating candles of varying heights and dimensions to add a special touch to your setup. Try to mix cute and chic spiral candles with taller taper candles or shorter votives to create a super fun layered effect.
Neurtral Candle Holders
Candle holders are a simple but beautiful way to display your candle. If you use a more detailed candle like the one above, a candle holder like this would be perfect.
Votives
No matter the size of your party, we love adding votives for a cute, classy, and romantic touch. Their compact size makes them perfect for layering alongside taller candles, or you can scatter them in clusters or line them along the table for a soft glow.
How To Decorate For A Martinis and Beanies Bachelorette Party
Florals
Flowers are a great way to add some class and elegance to a party. We recommend using artificial flowers. This way, you won’t have to worry about the flowers not lasting the whole day, and you could keep them as a keepsake. You could place a vase full of flowers on each table. Also, if you go with a simple color flower, like white hydrangeas, we recommend adding a pop of color with your choice of vase, like an olive green old-fashioned vase.
Table Accessories
For a creative and interactive centerpiece at your “Martinis and Beanies” Winter Bachelorette Party, use butcher block paper as a table runner. You could use an olive green tablecloth underneath. Simply cover your dining or cocktail table with the paper and provide metallic markers in festive colors like gold, silver, and white. Guests can write down their favorite martini recipes directly on the tablecloth, making it a fun and memorable experience.
Shatterproof glasses
When you have a party theme like “Martinis and Beanies,” you need cool glasses. You can’t just put your martinis in red plastic or styrofoam cups. These glasses are stylish and the perfect way to display your delicious drinks.
Olive Sticks
Who says you need to have ordinary (and boring) olive picks? These olive picks are simple but stunning.
Martini Shaker
A martini shaker is another detail that you don’t want to skip. This gold martini shaker just oozes elegance and class.
Olive Trays
You can’t have a martini party without an olive tray. Your tray should be unique and elegant. Also, consider the ease of your tray. You’ll want it to be simple for your guests to grab the olives.
Table Confetti
No table decor detail is too small. You can’t go wrong with sparkly confetti, especially ones in the shape of martinis and olives!
Cocktail Napkins
You can’t forget cocktail napkins for your bach party. These napkins are relatively simple with a nice touch of neutrals
Photo Backdrop
When taking your Instagram pics, you can’t forget to have a photo backdrop that’s worth the gram! These backdrop ideas will surely be one that’ll take your pics to the next level.
Gold Martini Banner
We love this gold sparkly martini banner. You could easily put this as a photo backdrop and add other elements to it, like balloons or streamers.
Tinsel Foil Curtains
This would be a great backdrop to have. The shiny metallic will add a nice touch of sparkle. This would pair nicely with the martini glass banner.
Balloons
It’s not a party without balloons. These balloons are stunning and help tie in the color scheme.
Martinis and Beanies Bachelorette Party Swag Bags
You can’t throw a “Martinis and Beanies” bachelorette party without gifting your girls a beanie. Not to mention, how cute are these beanies? You can take adorable pics with your crew in their matching ‘Bride’ and ‘Babe’ beanies.
