5 Ways to Add Sparkle to Your Wedding

     You’re planning your perfect wedding.  You found a beautiful dress, the ideal location, and have even booked that long dreamed of honeymoon.  But, something is missing.  Everything will be beautiful, but you want extraordinary.  It is time to add some sparkle to your wedding!

  1. Bouquet   Adding a bit of glamour to your bouquet is one of the newest trends.  And, you have so many options!  Is your wedding at the Beach?  Add in shimmery starfish.  Is it in the spring?  Add a few glittering butterflies.  You can also highlight your new name by nestling a gorgeous initial made of crystals in among the flowers.  Another exciting idea is to put the dazzle on the handle of your bouquet.  A stunning buckle or broach is the perfect touch.

 2. Hair  Of course, you’ve seen the beautiful jeweled tiaras that many brides are wearing this year.  But, what if you’re not the tiara type?  You can still shine on your special day with brilliant hair twists, pins, combs, or a headband.  You can use crystal clear or colored stones, vintage or modern designs, traditional jewel shapes or contemporary shapes such as flowers or butterflies.  You can even have a sparkly headband with a side accent to draw attention to a dramatic upsweep.

 3.  Dress  Most wedding dresses today, come with their own gold threads and glittery touches.  But, if you want your dress to stand out as one of a kind you should add your own touch of bling.  A beautiful broach at your neckline or waist helps to highlight your dress and will wow your family and friends.  Or, place a dazzling pin at the base of your back.  It will captivate your guests while you face forward to recite your vows.

 4. Ring Pillow  In the past, all ring pillows were pretty much the same.  White.  Now, brides can choose from an endless assortment of colors with flowers and ribbons to match the bouquets or bridesmaid dresses.  To make your ring pillow even more special, add your own touch.  Pin on a beachy crystal starfish, an elegant bow, or a artsy rose.  The extra shine will draw attention to your wedding rings as they are carried up the aisle.

 5.  Reception Tables  Don’t forget the party!  After your breathtaking wedding ceremony it’s time to celebrate with the ones you love.  Decorate their tables with your personal style by adding more sparkle to the flower centerpieces.  The same stunning accents that were added to your bouquet can also be added to the flowers decorating your reception.  It’s the perfect place to show off your new last name with a crystal and rhinestone initial.  Or maybe you want to add a double heart to represent the love you and your groom share.  Whatever you decide, your guests will be impressed with your special touch.
