CRYSTAL WHITE WEDDINGS

The Wedding Salon went to Miami and this is some of what they found there. The trend for white weddings and lots of crystal seem prevalent in this beautiful array of photos taken by the wonderful May Bagnell. An all white wedding with stunning touches of crystal will surely make a statement on any wedding day! But, these images are spectacular examples of the tremendously talented celebrity vendors, created for this event. Taken into context, you can re- create your own version of any of these amazing celebrity designs. And, if you have the budget, you can have them re- create it for you. The Wedding Salon always offers the best there is in weddings, but anyone can have a wedding as lovely using these images as inspiration.
Here we have a glorious cake made by Ana Paz. Completely white and dripping in Swarovski crystals, this elegant and sophisticated cake is a jewel in and of itself. The table setting by Costa d' Este Beach Resort shows you how you can use crystal accents to keep your tables aglow. Panache, Party Rentals designed a lovely table using white roses in white pots and accenting with crystal votives. A simply beautiful setting for a garden wedding or an intimate affair. And, Trias Flowers, used a soft purple to accent its use of crystal glassware, chargers and centerpieces. Even the menu is wrapped in a little bit of bling.

Take it from the best known names in the bridal industry, this trend for crystals and white wedding decor is here and growing. So, let your imaginations free to run with this idea and have a gorgeous white wedding with the glimmer of crystal. Thanks to The Wedding Salon for the use of the photos and for always letting us know what is new and beautiful about weddings.
