Anniversary parties, dinner parties, engagement parties, and ballroom dance parties to end a semester of learning the art, are all reasons to go all out in the romantic splendor of formality.
A way of doing up your home for a formal dinner party is having a fire and ice party.
Decorate your space with wreaths of white flowers and bits of gold and silver sparkle.
Fill cut glass containers such as large candy dishes and serving bowls with water that has been tinted the color of glacier water (blue and green food coloring will do, but make it very pale) and float white candles in them.
Candles in candle holders set on glass works very well, too.
Think of fresh winter snow at night with the moon light on it and fill your space with it.
Dress your table in white, white cloth, white cloth napkins and wine glasses, even if no wine is served, because they look fantastic.
Use formal place settings and plan a four or more course meal.
Silver is traditionally allowed at a black and white party theme, so use any silver accents you have available, such as candle holders or serving dishes.
You can create your own accents out of silver paper, including stars and the moon to hang from the ceiling (use fishing wire or black thread) and spread around the floor and on the tables.
Don't hesitate to borrow dishes or glassware from friends to make your evening perfect.
This kind of decoration can also be adapted to a large room for ballroom dancing.
Think romantic and don't be afraid to watch some old movies to get ideas for decorating.
