Winter Wonderland Themed Sweet 16

A winter wonderland themed sweet sixteen inspires elegance, grace, and brings enchantment to the night. No matter the season, you can achieve a magical look at your sweet 16 party with great tips and ideas like these:

1) Mood lighting!

Lighting is paramount to create the look and feel of a winter wonderland. Line the perimeter of the room with white and icy blue uplighting to create the effect of a snowy day. This will transform the venue and set the tone for the entire winter wonderland sweet 16 party.

2) Draped in faux snow using curtains!

Add pipe and drape curtains from the ceiling for a stunning look!  You can also use white uplights and shine them directly up at the curtains.  This looks amazing paired with the icy blue lighting on the walls.

3) Snowflakes projected on the Dance Floor!

Create a unique effect on the dance floor using texture lighting!  Choose a snowflake pattern and shine onto any surface in your venue. This looks great on the dance floor or the wall for a unique way to add ambiance to your sweet 16 bash.

4) More snowflakes in the decorations!

The idea to hang snowflake decorations is gorgeous! Match with string lights for even more shine! Don’t limit yourself to just snowflakes; icicles make a great option for a winter themed event like this 16th birthday party.

5) Dramatic centerpieces!
