Bling It On!

Wedding Sugar

With glamour making a resurgence this year, we’ve seen the prevalence of more crystals, rhinetones, and diamonds included in wedding decor.  If you adore a little bit of sparkle, this might be something that you can incorporate in your wedding.

 

Cake:

Dessert bars and cupcakes need not be left out of this sparkleganza.  I love the concept of incorporating vintage cake stands with hanging crystals with the cake as it is already such a beautiful focal point:

Containers

Tall Cylinders with Rhinestones

I love the rhinestone wrap on the cylinder vases, which can be done as banding or completely wrapped around the vase.  Koyal Wholesale has the best diamond wrap that can be used for creating the vases and diamond rhinestone ribbon for cake banding above.

Flowers

 

Your flowers need not be left out– you can let wrap your bouquet’s stems in diamond wrap or add buckles or small elastic bands.

The key here is to glam up your decor with out going overboard and having your passport stamped in Cheeseville.  Overdoing it on the bling does not subtly say opulence or luxury– it screams “all we could afford were rhinestones”.  Add sweet, small touches to your cake, your dress, your flowers, your shoes and you will see that your event will stand out!

Non Floral Centerpiece Ideas

Flowers, beautiful and fragrant will take a huge chunk out of your décor budget.  This may be fine if you desire carefully arranged centerpieces with minimal flowers.  Many brides are finding that looks that they fall in love with need more flowers than they thought.  If this is the case  or you are not “a flower person”, consider the option of having non-floral centerpieces.  Yes, it’s possible!  You have several options, in several mediums:
