How To Nail Serious Sparkle at Your Wedding! (Crystals, Rhinestones and All Things Shiny)

As winter weddings take over our timelines, we are looking at bigger, more glamorous affairs. And those glamorous affairs come with their own share of bling and sparkle. Because, nothing says mind-blowing like crystals, rhinestones and little shiny things. So we thought we should take a look at some of the coolest, most lavish style ideas that involve stones and crystals and all things super blingy to make your wedding sparkle like never before.

Get table cards or even signages wrapped up with a bit of bling on them - it's all in the little details you see.

Crystals + Bulbs = Awesome Lighting

Sparkly Chairs

Who doesn't love shiny sparkly chairs - just stitch the rhinestones on them, or wrap them up in a sheet and design new chair covers or just drape them in strands around the chairs.

Crystal Additions on Centrepieces

It's interesting to see how much you can do with rhinestones and crystals - you can wrap up the candles and vases with them to add elegance to your centre table.

It's not just flowers that add the drama, make sure you also dress the mandap up with crystal hangings to bring in a more global look.

As blingy fillers

Whenever you feel that the bigger decor such as birdcages and more look rather less, add these crystal hangings as fillers. They make the wedding decor look fuller.

Crystal Trees

As an installation, crystals can make any look and shape rock. For example, these crystal trees can really add drama to the wedding and also, make that space a conversation starter.
