What is a winter wonderland theme?

A winter wonderland theme is all white, silver and ice blue: frozen living statues that come to life, ice queens in masked and unmasked looks, LED performers and champagne walkers lit like snow.

It is perfect for Christmas and new year parties, winter weddings and January events that want something more elegant than tinsel.

Where it works best

  • Step 1

    Ice statues at the entrance

  • Step 2

    Champagne walkers serving the welcome drink

  • Step 3

    Ice queens roaming during the reception

  • Step 4

    An LED or aerial moment after dinner

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Statue reveal

    Guests assume the frozen statues are decor until they move. Place them where everyone walks past.

  2. 2

    Dim the lights for LED

    LED costumes are at their best in a darker room, so plan them after dinner.

  3. 3

    Book early

    December is the busiest month of the year for themed acts. Start conversations in the summer.
