The Dazzling Way Brides Are Blinging Out Their Bouquets

Let's face it: When it comes to sparkle, more really is merrier! Glitter and shine make any celebration more festive, and there are many opportunities to incorporate a little bling into a wedding. Consider the dresses, shoes, invitations, linens – and the bridal bouquet!
Bouquets aren't just for flowers. Tuck a jeweled brooch (or two or three!) between the blooms to give your wedding bouquet some glitz and dimension. For a more subtle look, dot your bouquet with rhinestones held in place by thin wire. These tiny gems also look lovely when placed in the center of delicate flowers like stephanotis blossoms or roses. If you'll only be including one or two jewels in your bouquet, be sure to place them in such a way that they are visible to guests while you're holding the arrangement. White or neutral flowers allow the gems to really stand out – in fact, glitter details provide the perfect amount of pizazz to the increasingly popular all-white wedding trend. And vibrant flowers can look just as gorgeous adorned with a bit of bling.
Below, discover how real brides used jewels to make their bouquets match their sparkling personalities!
