Winter wonderland parties never go out of style. With wintry white tones, layered candlelight, and plenty of sparkle, they capture the season’s most magical qualities. The goal is to recreate that first-snow feeling—crisp, glowing, and a little nostalgic—and bring it indoors. With the right mix of blue party rentals, luxe linens, and icy tabletop accents, you can design a cold-weather celebration that still feels warm and inviting. Below, we’re sharing ideas for creating your own blue-hued winter wonderland using pieces from our collection that are ready to reserve.

Elegant Ice-Inspired Serving Ware

Let’s start with the table. The right place setting is what takes your dinner or cocktail service from casual to cinematic. For that “frosted” winter feel, we love silver-accented serving ware, which instantly reads upscale and seasonal. Try a Glass Charger with Silver Rim or a Silver Round Lacquer Charger as your base. Layer with White Round China for a clean, classic look, or choose Earthen Alabaster China for something softer and more organic.

If you want something a little more dramatic, the Carrera Marble Dinner Plates bring in a luxe stone detail. For a moodier spin, Earthen Onyx China paired with Noir Matte Black Flatware feels modern and editorial without sacrificing warmth.

Glassware should feel intentional but not distracting. Stick with clean, clear silhouettes and let them catch the light. We love the quirky profile of the Cybil Champagne Flutes for toasts, and the vintage-inspired shape of the Monaco Water Goblets for water or mocktails. Together, they photograph beautifully without overwhelming the table.

Luxe Linens & Seating

Your linens do a lot of heavy lifting for both color and mood. We stock a wide range of luxurious linens in multiple shades of blue, so you can take your event in a few different directions.

For a chic, modern winter palette, lean into brighter icy tones like Ice Blue Poly or Heritage Light Blue. These lighter hues reflect candlelight and feel crisp, airy, and celebratory. If you want something cozier and a little more dramatic, choose deep blue velvet. A classic Navy Blue or cool London Fog velvet table linen instantly adds depth and softness, perfect for evening holiday gatherings or winter cocktail parties. And do not forget napkins—they are one of the easiest ways to bring in texture or an accent tone.

Seating is part of the overall story, not an afterthought. For a playful, retro-inspired setup, pair bright cocktail tables with Mid-Century White Barstools. For a dinner that leans more romantic and polished, our Antique White Bentwood Chairs feel graceful and timeless. We’re also big fans of the Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. Under cool-toned lighting, they give off the effect of sculpted ice (without sacrificing comfort), and they work seamlessly with a frosty blue palette.

Cozy Winter Lounge Areas

Start with an anchor piece like a plush sofa or loveseat. The Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa is a favorite because it balances drama and comfort. From there, build out the seating with stylish chairs that complement the palette. Sleek Acrylic Fantasma Side Chairs bring in that icy, modern edge, while the retro White Eiffel Arm Chair adds a little mid-century personality.

No lounge is complete without surfaces. Guests need a place to set a champagne coupe or a small plate of hors d’oeuvres! The Echo Mirror Side Table brings in a reflective silver finish that ties in beautifully with a winter wonderland look, while the Wood Distressed Side Table grounds the space with a more natural, fireside feel.

Soft details are the final touch: layered rugs, faux fur throws, and low lighting add warmth in a way that keeps everything from feeling too icy or too formal. This is also where you can play with metallics, glass, and candlelight to make the whole space glow.

Portable Heaters

Planning to host a late-night event? Temperatures will drop, and we want you to be fully prepared. Our Blowing-Style Heater is a must-have, whether or not you set it up from the get-go. It will help your guests stay warm and prevent the party from ending early!

Lounge Furniture

Our Sutton Lounge Package in the Mediterranean shade is super cozy, in addition to being a lovely pop of color for an autumnal event. We love this piece for a casual social hour, or for a backyard movie night. If you plan on serving food or drinks, be sure to rent the matching ottomans as well.

Alternatively, velvet lounges like the Henley Sofa bring a touch of warmth and luxury to any outdoor cold-weather event, creating an inviting atmosphere for guests to settle in and relax. The soft fabric not only looks elegant but also adds a layer of comfort that’s perfect for chilly evenings. Add a rug, side tables, throw pillows, and a few comfy blankets!

Plush Velvet Lounge Areas

If there is one essential for a chilly winter party, it’s a cozy lounge area – maybe two! Indoor or outdoor, your guests will want a plush place to sit back, relax, and mingle. Even more so if you have plans for a well-stocked bar. We offer a range of gorgeous furniture pieces that you can mix and match to create a stunning lounge. Our Fern Velvet Sofa or Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa are elegant pieces, which can be paired with a set of loveseats or armchairs. Popular choices include our Gold Bamboo and White Eiffel Arm Chairs. Both of which offer an on-trend modern retro look. Just don’t forget to grab one of our beautiful vintage rugs to frame the space and add a little extra warmth!

Glittering Metallic Holiday Tablescapes

When it comes to winter event tables, the most popular choice for serving ware are pieces that star metallic accents. Such as our Glass Charger with Gold Rim, Austin Gold Flatware, and Celia Gold Rim Glassware. To help warm up your table and create a more welcoming or cozy look, we recommend adding a splash of colors and textures. Start with elegant linens in a warm color, like Moss Green Crush or Havana Ecru. Velvet napkins are an easy way to add a fun pop of color, as well as a soft subtle texture. Opt for our elegant White Etched Velvet or a brilliant Navy Blue that nods to the icy hue of the season. If your plates or serving ware feature metallics, sub traditional glassware for colored tumblers or water goblets. Such as the Meridian Blue or Smoke Beaded Glassware.
