Have a wedding worth its weight in gold

Every girl deserves no less than the best on her big day, right? Well, what’s better than gold? If you’ve long dreamed of an elegant, beautiful and luxurious wedding, fill your nuptials with the rich and dynamic hues of this precious metal. Your guests will love the touch of luxury you’ve given the proceedings, and you’ll have the chance to feel just like a princess for a day.

Remember – when embracing this theme, your gown doesn’t have to be white. In fact, you can add a dash of golden flair to it rather easily, much to the pleasant surprise of all who lay their eyes on you. Golden snowflake earrings will also be a nice touch if your nuptials happen to be in the wintertime, and you’ll have no problem finding elegant shoes to match the rest of the outfit.

At the reception, serve coffee and tea in elegant cups with gold floral patterns. Directing your guests to their seats with wedding bell placecard holders is a nice way to add a little extra touch to the proceedings. When all’s said and done, party attendees will walk away convinced that your marital shindig was an absolutely stunning affair.

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas wedding?

Christmas is a wonderful time for a wedding – not only is it naturally a time for celebration, but the classic aesthetic makes for perfect décor! What’s more pleasant than delightful reds and greens against the gentle white backdrop of freshly fallen snow? If Christmas has long been one of your favorite holidays, it may just be the perfect season to tie the knot as well.

Deep red and white look especially nice with one another, so don’t be afraid to take a chance on these hues. Your bridesmaids will love wearing gorgeous rouge gowns, which will make a nice complement to your white dress – particularly if your bridal bouquet features radiant red roses.

At the reception, get everyone into the spirit of the occasion by hanging delightful beaded snowflake ornaments! They’ll bolster your holiday aesthetic and bring back fond memories of snow falling on Christmas morning. Toss in a few dashes of green here and there to keep things interesting and you’ll be good to go. You can even coordinate your first dance to one of your favorite holiday tunes.
