Wedding outfit :
The most attractive and easiest way to incorporate glitter into the wedding day, is through the outfit ensemble. From the gorgeous gown to diamond encrusted heels, the opportunity to throw glitter into the works is endless. By adding a small glittery belt to a full white dress and headpiece to match is a subtle and truly effective way to add some shine. Yet, for those who want more drama, why not design a dress around a full sparkle corset, with matching accessories, and shoes, to have a top to bottom get up, complete with the most stunning sprinkle of fairy dust.
Glitter Dipped Favours :
Each wedding usually has its own collected parcel of favours offered to each of the guests. By giving them either a small memoir of the big day, whether as a personalised gift, or something generic, add some glitter to the wedding favour to emboss the theme of the wedding. For example, crafting a small pouch where the personal gift is placed in a royal gold glitter, or glittery gold champagne bottles to place, welcoming guests to their seat at the wedding reception. For an added, special effect, add a layer of glitter for a truly stylish finish.
Edible dust:
For those with a sweet tooth and a collection of guests suffering from the same curse, why not have handmade treats created, with the addition of edible glitter scattered across each dessert. By finding a qualified caterer to craft swirled cupcakes topped with a light helping of icing and glitter, matching perfectly to your chosen colour scheme. Or perhaps opt for a sweet tart, offering a quick pick me up with the added sprinkle of fairy dust, in between the ceremony and the wedding photos. Be sure not to forget about the show-stopper that is the wedding cake. This should be equally extravagant with a generous layer of glitter, ensuring it is completely incorporated into the theme of the wedding, at the forefront of the wedding reception.
Edging Details:
A minimal and classy way to incorporate glitter without being too extravagant is by using materials lined with glitter. For example, lining the edge of the table mats with a small amount of glitter glue for just a hint of shine, helping to create a simple handcrafted effect. Or, find tumblers coated with a gorgeous gold for a slightly more sophisticated touch to the dining table.
Glittery Photo Shoot
Another top tip on how to incorporate glitter into your wedding day is to organise a glitter photo shoot for the married couple and their guests. Allowing you to be bold with the use of glitter, using it either as a prop or wearing it within the photos for added fun and shine. It is likely you will be finding glitter in your hair and even eyebrows for the next couple of days, but for the fun of it, why not throw a handful of fairy dust into the air! A graceful and unique touch to your wedding day, take photos to help remind you of this magical moment. Not only is this a free way to add a fun effect to the image, but it is also a huge amount of fun to complete. This way, each photo will be glazed with a desirable amount of glitter, falling on each of your loved ones for added laughter and fun on this special day.
