Sparkle and Shine for Summer Weddings
Summer weddings tend to be fairly laid back, but that is no reason why they cannot still be fabulous! A great way to give your wedding style is with crystals, metallics, and other elements which glitter. These are some beautiful ways to use sparkle and shine to bring your summer wedding to life.
Of course the most natural place to introduce sparkle is the wedding jewelry. The bride can choose a delicate crystal station necklace which will feel light enough for summer, while still being plenty sparkly. A pretty idea for the bridesmaid jewelry gifts is pendants or earrings with a summer motif done in Swarovski crystal. Handcrafted bridesmaid jewelry made with crystal starfish, shells, or sand dollars will be fabulous gifts for the attendants at a summer wedding.
The bouquets and centerpieces are another place to bring some shimmer to your summer wedding. Create simple but elegant wedding centerpieces by submerging stems of lime green orchids in tall clear cylinders. Anchor the flowers in beds of aqua blue crystals at the bottom of the vases. The blue and green color combination will bring to mind ocean waves, while the crystals will also catch the light. This is a great idea for an outdoor summer wedding where the sunlight will bounce off the crystals, but it also works beautifully for an evening wedding with lots of candlelight. Wire sprays of the same blue crystals into a bouquet of white blossoms to give the bride's arrangement a fabulous twinkle, while also getting her "something blue".
