Glitter-Inspired Wedding Ideas

If you're drawn to all things shiny we've gathered a few glitter elements for both the princess-to-be and chic blushing bride. Whether you're inspired by metals like silver and gold or by jewel tones like emerald and ruby, you can add just the right amount of bling to be a shimmering, stand-out bride. Bedazzle your simple dress with a jewel-encrusted belt and add a few crystals to your bouquet to catch the light and create the ultimate sparkle. Drawing inspiration from chandeliers, your venue can be draped with glitter from your tablecloths and centrepieces to desserts and everything in between. Put your bridesmaids in deep purples and blues or regal champagnes and golds to match your glitter theme for an elegant affair in any season. Clockwise from top left:
