Here at eve, we’ve searched high and low to bring you the best Christmas party inspiration from some of the Instagram accounts we love. When it comes to throwing an unforgettable Christmas party, we’ve got your back.
- @eventinspo – Event Inspo
@eventinspo isn’t short of original ideas. Our go-to when we’re looking for a fresh perspective, Becci (Head of Business Development, don’t you know) recommends them for a different take on ideas. ‘The best thing I saw recently was the glass wall of Champagne so, at a busy event, you don’t need to go looking for your glass of fizz, you simply pick it up from a beautiful feature wall instead!’. You know where you’ll find us at the party…
2 @banginhangins – Bangin Hangins
Hanging decorations turn any location into Pinterest heaven. Adding colour, texture and atmosphere, Bangin Hangins’ drool-worthy installations are total showstoppers. Pom poms, tassels, glitter explosions, festive flowers – what’s your vibe? Emma – our Head of Venue and Event Sales at eve – is a huge fan. “Having an installation, incredible backdrops or hanging decorations is really on trend. People want decorations that make for a great atmosphere and can act as photo props, too.”
- @weareultimate– Ultimate Experience
It’s exactly what it says on the tin. Ultimate Experience will bring your Christmas party dreams to life – winter wonderland, they’ve got you. Your very own Narnia, sure. A full-blown Santa’s grotto complete with reindeer, elves and a pile of presents? Why not, hey. Check out their social to see what they’re up to, and expect loads of envy-inducing soirées in the run-up to Christmas. Plus, with some of the most in-demand spaces in the capital on their books, you’ll get an insight into some insane installations, light displays and interiors. Jerri, eve’s Marketing Co-ordinator, reckons they’re the best around when it comes to planning events. “If you want your Christmas party to be the talk of the town you need to get these guys on board!”
- @fullcircle_team – FullCircle
If you want to plan an unforgettable Christmas party, it’s worthwhile investing in an events production company who can do the legwork and suggest ideas that you might not have thought of yourself. Someone like FullCircle – masters of props and décor, AV, food and drink ‑ will be your event-planning saviours!

3.@bonbonballoons – Bonbon Balloons
We’re bringing back childhood party feels with ALL the balloons. A trend that shows no sign of stopping, we’re looking to Bonbon Balloons for decorative arches, freestanding structures and artistic life-size creations made from, you guessed it, helium-filled spheres. They’ll add some fun and a pop of colour – not literally – to your Christmas party. Go for classic colours or bright metallics and send your party up, up and away! (Sorry.)
Bonbon Balloons is a favourite of Rupi – our very own Referrals Business Development Manager. “Balloons give an amazing aesthetic to any event, especially at Christmas when everyone’s looking for a wonderland setting with loads of fun thrown in.”
