Want to plan a wedding with tons of bling? Lots of brides love the idea of adding anything that sparkles and shines to their big day. There’s something magical about the way the light hits diamonds, gemstones, and glitter. It can take an otherwise plain wedding and give it character. Though draping everything in diamonds and bling sounds nice, unless you have a healthy budget, you’ll need to get creative about making your wedding day bling and sparkle. Check it out:
Your Wedding Rings
Of course, the star of the show will be your wedding rings. If you aren’t interested in going the traditional route, then perhaps it is best to have your wedding bands customized. In SoCal, for example, there are jewelers like Diamonds Forever San Diego where you can choose from different metals, stones, and settings to design a ring so flashy that you need sunglasses to see it.
Tiaras
If you don’t want the bling to stop there, you have a ton of other creative ways to add more sparkle to your wedding day. For instance, consider wearing a tiara for the big day. They come in various metal types and can be purchased with stones that include diamonds, cubic zirconia, and other costume gems to match your budget. Just make sure you purchase a tiara that isn’t so elaborate that it overpowers the dress.
The Dress
If you’ve been browsing wedding dresses online or in local dress shops then you know that sparkle and bling on dresses is easy to find. You can opt for a more customized dress that has diamonds sewn into it, but if you’re on a bit of a budget, you might look for gemstones or glitter which gives off the same sparkle as diamonds without the cost. If you don’t want to overdo it, look for a dress that has diamonds or sparkles on accentuating parts of the dress like the waistline, sleeves, or hem.
Bridal Bouquets
The glitz and glam doesn’t have to stop there. You can add a bit of sparkle to your bridal bouquets as well. You can add glue and sprinkle glitter onto the petals, wrap a string of diamonds or costume stones around the flowers, or have individual stones glued to the flowers.
Bedazzled Shoes
If your dress is fairly simple in style and design, you can add a sparkle by bedazzling your shoes. You can choose to add any color stones to them. Create a diamond border or fill in the entire upper with stones for an amazing sparkle everywhere you step.
Centerpieces
Your wedding reception can also sparkle with diamonds and other gemstones. There are a few options for pulling this off. You can sprinkle glitter on the tablecloths, or add gemstones to your centerpieces. A floral arrangement with a string of diamonds would look great. You can also try floating candles and place diamonds in the candle holder. As the lights hit off of them from the candles, your guests get to see the glimmer.
There are just too many ways to add more glitz and glam to your wedding day. So, if you’re a girl who loves diamonds, put on that creative hat and get to work. From your rings and dress to your centerpieces and floral bouquets, you can make everything on your big day shine bright like a diamond (even if they aren’t all the real thing).
