Many brides and grooms want to make a statement with their wedding décor – whether that be through the personalization of their design elements or the boldness of their choices. Your nuptials are an amazing opportunity not only to express your love for your partner, but also to exercise your creativity and design a truly custom event. With modern technology, inspiration is available everywhere – including picture-sharing sites such as Pinterest and Instagram – so fortunately for innovative couples, there’s no shortage of bridal ideas.

If you and your sweetheart are looking to add bold, vibrant details into the décor of your special day – perhaps to reflect your larger-than-life, outgoing personalities – metallic additions are the way to go. Small inclusions of shiny elements such as gold and silver – or even rose gold and copper – will bring a touch of regality to your wedding (with a little extra “punch”). In addition to showcasing metallic colors in bridal party ensembles, such as bridesmaid dresses, you can add splashes of these flashy materials throughout your ceremony and reception as well.
