Dazzling Crystal Wedding Details
Naturally, when you think of crystal, the wedding gown and the bridal jewelry are the first things that come to mind. As well they should; brides have always known that a few shimmering crystals will add a lot of elegance and a touch of drama to their big day. Most women don’t get too many chances to get dressed to the nines, and who doesn’t want to feel fabulous for their wedding? Crystal embellishments on your bridal gown can be light and subtle or strong and regal; either way, they are sure to make your dress look very special.
Think about some of the more unexpected wedding elements that could use some sparkle. These days it is possible to order pieces that are custom personalized with crystals for every aspect of your wedding. If you are the DIY type, a lot of these things can also be done at home. Many brides get a lot of joy from making something special for their own wedding.
One of the things that you can either order or do yourself is add a crystal motif to fabric items such as neckties, handkerchiefs, and ribbons. It may be surprising, but a small crystal design on the groom’s tie can actually be quite cool looking, and not gaudy. Something like a fleur-de-lis or a monogram done in flat crystals can be opulent or even rock-and-roll hip. Whichever motif you select, think about adding it to the hankies for the bride and the mothers, as well as on a wide satin ribbon to tie around your bouquet.
Speaking of the bouquet, this is one of the favorite places to add some sparkle. There are numerous ways that crystals can be incorporated into your wedding flowers. One of the most fresh and current styles is to weave a strand of crystals throughout the flowers. To make it really pop, use colored Swarovski crystals. If you want glamor without additional color, clear crystals can bring the perfect amount of sparkle to your bouquet. For a fun and discreet accent, wire tiny crystals into the centers of each blossom in the bouquet. It will be a magical effect as you walk down the aisle.
