Event planners and corporate organizers work diligently to make end of the year parties and celebrations truly memorable events, each New Year better than the last. Is your business based in tax-free Delaware? Here are some decorative ideas to ring in the New Year in Wilmington with stylish ceremonial ribbons and supplies to make your event stand out and be remembered! CeremonialSuppies.com is the best one-stop store on the net to shop for groundbreaking shovels, hard hats, giant ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors, display stands and display cases, event carpets, military medals and military medal display cases, stanchions and rope, and every color ceremonial ribbon imaginable! With these crafted high quality supplies, (and many more to be found on the website) everything from glitzy New Year celebrations to groundbreaking ceremonies, grand opening festivities or fancy military balls can be transformed into unforgettable occasions! Take the small city of Wilmington, Delaware for example - awakening from a rather depressed slumber of population, development, and growth, the city of Wilmington has over the last 8 years revitalized its downtown, including reparations to existing construction as well as new buildings. Christmas and other religious holidays have seen a flourishing of decorative lights, tree lighting ceremonies, and celebratory reunions in the city of Wilmington, as well as the colonial town of New Castle.

Ceremonial ribbons come in all colors and widths at CeremonialSupplies.com, and you can mix and match these to create and frame a special area for your celebration bash. For example, whether you're hosting a corporate holiday luncheon a-la colonial fare at Jessop's Tavern in New Castle, or a dinner-dance New Year celebration at the Hotel DuPont's lavish Green Room, (or any of their luxurious grand ballrooms) you can own the event with the use of ceremonial ribbons to dress up tablecloths, chair covers, helium filled balloons, and many other ideas! The entrance? We see a red carpet aisle runner leading the way into the main area with a dedicated step and repeat banner for the official photo!

The most popular ceremonial ribbon colors for the holidays are gold, red and green for Christmas, blue for Hanukkah, and natural and fresh colors like indigo, cobalt blue, crimson red, ivory and dark green for the classical festive colors of Diwali. CeremonialSupplies.com has an easy to view and choose palette of silky ribbons in different widths, for different uses. Printed ribbons in the 2" width size can be attached to helium-filled balloons and provide a beautiful ceiling decoration during the event. Afterwards, people can take these balloons home, keeping the printed ribbon as a memento of the occasion. Wider ceremonial ribbon 6", 8", or 10" can be used to hang from the center of the room, draping out and over a dance floor, for example. For banner style personalized ribbon, the 10" and 12" width ribbons fit the bill perfectly! These extra wide ribbon banner style with printed holiday messages can be sprinkled throughout a room, on doorways, etc., to help guide the attendees to a particular spot, such as the dessert section, "Santa's Cookies and Desserts" or "Mistletoe HERE!"

New Year festivities in Wilmington, Delaware have also been known to play up the colonial influence with glamorous accents of golden and red ribbons that liven and brighten the usually dark days of winter. Interestingly, it wasn't until 1753 that colonial Americans began to celebrate the New Year on December 31. Until then, the British and the American colonists celebrated New Year on March 25!

Sitting in quiet decorum in the heart of Wilmington, is the Delaware Art Museum, where end of the year events offer activities, gatherings, and performances. The museum is available for private functions and New Year celebrations amongst famous works of American art are as glitzy as the richly colored, fine Art Deco paintings. Golden ribbons, mingled with deep bright red velvety ribbons are ideal adornments for a New Year party. These versatile ribbons, available from CeremonialSupplies.com in a variety of shades as well as width sizes and spool lengths, can be used as tablecloth runners, chair cover accents, drapery, and many other uses that give the room and the event a special feeling when welcoming a New Year. Other sophisticated touches such as a red carpet entrance complete with classic stanchions and velvet rope, and a step and repeat backdrop banner for official party photos can be added to make your New Year's decor look like a page straight out of The Great Gatsby!

Glitzy Gold And Black Ribbons Always In Style In New York

Whether you're strolling Park Avenue, Madison, Central Park, Wall Street, or simply enjoying the sights aboard any of the gazillion city tour buses, the grandeur and overall imperialistic style of architecture of this grand city, aptly nicknamed "The Empire State" will surround you from every side. Buildings with straight, rigid angles and lines, filled with architectural symbolism, such as the Rockefeller Center plaza and its massive structures, adorned by the golden statue of Prometheus and a bronzed Atlas. Needless to say gold and black will top any other sparkly combination for a New Year ceremony decoration. We say ceremony because even with its modern touches, the end of a year and the beginning of a new one is a milestone that represents the cyclic nature of our universe. Since time immemorial there have been rituals and ceremonies related to the winter season and the start of a new year. The mistletoe for example, revered by ancient Nordic cultures, is said to have been used by Druids to make an elixir to cure infertility, and thus its association with romance. Wreaths of mistletoe evergreen foliage with its beautiful red berries would certainly add a colorful touch of decoration during the barren months of winter! It's no wonder that the holidays in New York City are magical! Whether decorating a ballroom or a special area in your home, there's no better way to frame a room than with decorative ribbons hung from the center out toward the corners. Depending on the size of the room you can use ribbons ranging from 4" - 6" in width to extra wide ribbons of 8" or 10" and even 12" wide. Flowing from the center of the room out toward the walls, the shimmering gold ribbon and black ribbon create the foundation of the overall decor. Table cloth accents can duplicate the gold or the black of the ribbons, but even a white table cloth with gold ribbon, silver ribbon, or black ribbon trimmed china will sparkle! Touches such as velvety red poinsettias, and red velvet ribbon bows to embellish the chair covers and other table details will add sophistication to the decoration.

Creating An Impressive Ceremonial Entrance With A Red Event Carpet!

Luxurious ballrooms everywhere will be dressed to the nines for New Year, creating an impressive ceremonial entrance with a red event carpet, classic brass stanchions glistening as they frame the walkway, and of course, all the attendees ready to have their photo taken as a Holiday memento! Create the perfect photo setting with a step and repeat backdrop banner as the guests step up to have their picture taken while walking the red carpet entrance! If the celebration will take place in your home, you will definitely want a smaller version of the red carpet entrance but definitely bring the ritzy into your affair! If there is a front entrance to the home, or to the ballroom, this is where you want to set up the red aisle carpet. Stanchions are used to guide the flow of people and, depending on where you've set up the refreshments stations, you my need to slow down the pace to the rum runners and position the photo station and the classic stanchions midway. This avoids any bottlenecking and creates a good flow of guests.

CeremonialSupplies.com celebrates the American Flag Lapel Pin - it's not just for Presidents anymore! Lapel Pins are signs or symbols that indicate identity. With its origins buried deep in ancient history, the lapel pin is today fully integrated as an embellishment not just to lapels, but many other clothing items. Worn on hats, backpacks, ties, scarves and many other items, the American flag lapel pin is not just for lapels anymore either! It is a popular and common sight in the USA, worn by people who love the country. It's difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of the flag pin from obscure antiquity, however, we do know that the lapel pin's ancient history is known to have first surfaced from the totem symbol of primitive clan tribes. Early Egyptian civilizations used the vulture and the cobra as totems, and although the Egyptians didn't make lapel pins, they did introduce the process that gives the lapel pin its originality: inlay and enameling. During the Roman Empire lapel pins were used by their large scale armies in order to identify and recognize the enemy and allies when in battle. Each legion had its own explicitly designed badge. This practice was followed into the Middle Ages by knights and aristocracy who designed ornate and symbolic badges for their own identity, and adorned their shields and homes with these personalized symbols.

The Birth Of The American Flag Lapel Pin

The flag lapel pin has had several popularity peaks during different time periods and seems to have made its appearance after jewelry lapel pins were already in use. But, if we're going to talk about the birth of the American flag pin, we'll have to know the basics about the flag that's emblazoned upon it.

The American flag is loved by citizens of the US and of other countries in the world as a symbol of what the USA stands for: liberty, freedom, equality, individual rights, etc. A leisurely drive through any American neighborhood will reveal many houses, condos, and apartments flying the American flag - a tradition born with the founding of the country. After the war for Independence from the British, the colonies used a variety of flags, it wasn't until the Civil War that the stars and stripes design we know today first came to be used widely. It's no secret that the Southern Confederates won most of the early battles of the Civil War. To raise morale, the Northern Union began flying the flag as a sign of unity. Interestingly, the lapel pin also surfaced during the Civil War and was used in the same way it was during the Roman Empire, as a measure for identifying different military units. The unintended result of this indicator was that it bred solidarity among the members of each unit by giving them a distinct symbol that represented only them.

The American flag lapel pin first reached popularity in the US during the cultural revolution of the 1960's and 1970's when anti-Vietnam war protesters attempted to diminish the meaning of the flag by burning it, or wearing it as patches on the backside of their jeans. In response, American citizens began wearing American flag lapel pins. It turned out to be an enormous multitude who became known historically as "the silent majority." And then the 37th president, Richard Nixon, and his administration staff began wearing the American flag lapel pin! After this, American flag lapel pins exploded into the fashion world!

Ceremonialsupplies.com is proud to offer our wide selection of patriotic lapel pins and awareness color pins to show your pride! Although the history of the lapel pin is quite tricky, and not very well documented, we do know that the lapel pin dates back to the 13th century when it was used by the armies of the Roman Empire. The size of the Roman army was of such a large scale, that lapel pins were necessary to distinguish the enemies and allies. Since those early ancient days of the Roman Empire, the lapel pin has been used continuously for various other reasons outside of the military, and as we can see today, the lapel pin can be worn to support a cause, as with the many different color looped lapel pins available at ceremonialsupplies.com, each representing significant movements symbolized by colors.

The history of lapel pins goes back to Roman times when soldiers of the different battle groups needed to be identified, however in more modern times it was former president Richard Nixon who proudly wore an American Flag pin, and in the 1970's wearing an American flag lapel pin became a huge anti-war statement.
