Tags: Using Crystals or Pearls as a Wedding Theme/Decor
Article Entry: Crystal Wedding Decor. When a bride is asked what her theme is for her wedding, she usually responds with a color, a season, or a combination of these choices. Using a color, a season or a beach theme is a good way to help make your wedding décor decisions easier but there are many other choices when deciding on a theme.   In this article we will discuss using Crystals or Pearls as a wedding theme or to supplement your current theme. When choosing a theme for your wedding, remember you can always have a combination of ideas to create your theme. For instance, your theme does not have to be restricted to a color scheme. You can have a wedding theme that is red – Zen – pearls or beach – blue – crystals. As long as you do not try to incorporate too many themes and are consistent with your décor choices, your wedding will look uniform and flow beautifully.   Using crystals and pearls is an elegant way to add detail to your wedding and create a glamorous, stunning, classic feel. Every bride wants to have a beautiful, unique and memorable wedding. Details to your wedding add this individuality. It is the details that make your wedding different and stand out from all the other weddings. Incorporating crystals or pearls to your décor and accessories is an easy way to add detail and ensure your guests to remember your wedding for years to come.       Crystal Tiara. The decision on whether to use pearls or crystals should be inspired by the wedding dress for two reasons. The first reason is the dress is usually the first item chosen by the bride. It is usually bought before all the decorations are purchased and finalized. It is also a good indicator if you like pearls or crystals. The second reason is it is simply easier to buy crystals or pearls than for a bride to find a gown that has the correct accents. Imagine finding a gown you love realizing it has the wrong accents and having to settle for a gown with the right accents. If your gown is not decorated in either pearls or crystals, then your decision to choose between crystals or pearls should be inspired by your jewelry. Simply decide whether you prefer wearing pearl or crystal/diamond jewelry on your wedding day.   Since most of the attention is on the bride, the bride’s attire is also an important part of the décor. If your dress is accented with pearls, carry them throughout your ensemble. Wear a pearl accented tiara, a pearl strung necklace, pearl earrings, and a pearl accented garter. Be careful not to over-play your dress if you decide to use crystals. Some crystal accessories can be a bit much. It is important for brides to look elegant and sophisticated and not gaudy and tacky. Choose jewelry that is a bit more simple if your dress is heavily decorated. If your dress is plain, you can add drama and interest to your outfit with jewelry that has a lot of detail.   Another area where you can add crystals/pearls is the bouquets and boutonnieres. I have seen entire bouquets made from crystals sold online. I find bouquets made entirely of crystals to be tacky and much too much. I do however love bouquets with stems of crystal or pearl used as accents. Adding crystal or pearl stem accents to bouquets and boutonnieres is a great way to include your wedding party to your theme.       Crystal Bouquets Are A Bit Much. Crystals and Pearls can be added to almost everything. Decorate your cake, centerpieces and favors but remember not to over-play it. Just use enough crystals and pearls to get your theme across or it may start to feel gaudy.   Add Drama With Gorgeous Crystal Trees. Your cake can have a crystal/pearl cake topper. There are metal or acrylic monogram cake toppers that are accented with crystals. Cakes can be decorated to appear as if they are accented with pearls. Flowers used to decorate the cake can be accented with crystals or pearls. There are many possibilities. Flowers can be accented with crystal or pearl stems for a brilliant, sparkling centerpiece. For a very dramatic and breathtaking display, try making crystal trees. These centerpieces will guarantee your wedding to be described as magical, magnificent, and memorable.
