Brilliant Wedding Trend: Chandelier Wedding Decor

It's time for the another round-up of the Weekly Wedding Photo Challenge. This time, it's all about accenting your special day with Chandelier wedding decor.

When it comes to Chandeliers - there's something so beautiful about the ambiance they can create at wedding ceremonies and/or wedding receptions. Ballroom receptions or those under a tent or in a barn are all perfect locations for adding chandeliers. There's of course the chandeliers that are full of bling and sparkle and then there's the more modern style of chandeliers. These can look more like hanging lampshades or the hot new geometric trend of chandeliers. You might even spy the gorgeous chandeliers that are handmade with fresh greenery and even fruit. Which chandelier style is your favorite?

Enjoy the photo inspiration of all the chandeliers and be sure to follow along online as the Photo Challenge continues all year long - each and every week. Credits are below the montage.

A Glitzy Black and White Wedding Inspiration Board

While today's inspiration board would work for a formal evening reception anytime of the year - wouldn't it be great for a holiday or New Year's Eve wedding? Lots of crystals, glitter and sequins always makes parties so much more festive. The Crystal Encrusted Ankle Strap Platform Sandal and Crystal Sash are both the perfect accessory from White by Vera Wang {available at David's Bridal}. Wouldn't your bridesmaids look stunning in this Allure sequined black evening dress? The black glitter minaudiere clutch would be the perfect accessory for either the bride or her wedding party. As would the sequined black and white earrings. And, with a wedding this glam - the bouquet deserves to be equally glamorous like this black and white jeweled bouquet from Karen Tran Florals.

For the reception, let your guests know the menu selections with a crystal embellished menu card. Along with the sparkling wedding cake {which is one of the most amazing cakes I have ever seen} the glittered black royal icing flowers are the perfect topper for the cupcakes you might also offer for dessert.

Had to add an update to this post as I just spied the perfect the pearl bracelet from Pearl & Clasp that would be just lovely for the bride. I love how the centers of the cupcake toppers and the cake bling resemble pearls. {oh and don't forget, you can save 15% at Pearl & Clasp with the code BrendasBlog15 at checkout}.
