Ways to use Glitter on your wedding day!

Modern Wedding Posted: August 19, 2013

It’s true all that glitters is not gold, but all that glitters does make for one very pretty wedding! Make glitter a part of your wedding theme and splash it liberally through out the day using the glitter wedding ideas below. Start with your bridesmaids’ dresses. They’ll be the perfect complement to a bride in white and will help to clarify the overall theme and glittery accents. A bride in white can add hints of glitter to marry in with the theme (unless she’s already breaking hearts in a gorgeous glitter gown!). Talk to your make up artist about striking glitter eyes like those below, adorn yourself with glitter accessories and nails then complete the look with a pair of glitter wedding shoes – there are loads of them out there and really who can go wrong with these?

The groom and groomsmen can carry the theme with glitter ties or bow ties. Paired with black or navy suits this is a surprisingly sharp look. Wedding invitations can also allude to your upcoming glitter wedding decorated with glitter tables cloths, table decorations, glitter garlands and  a glitter photo booth backdrop – all available on Etsy. The food is not exempt and edible glitter is definitely a thing. A glitter inspired dessert buffet can be jazzed up with glitter cake toppers and a glitter wedding cake as centrepiece. At the end of the night you can send your guests home with a glitter box full of treats to remember the glittery night…
