Choose the Best Style

If “go big or go home” has always been your motto in life, then trust us you are a glamorous girl at heart, so, why should your wedding be anything less? Choose the style for your glamorous wedding that perfectly goes out with your personality and speaks out in the best way possible.

In fact, for a more luxurious vine, you can opt for boxed wedding invitations (too much in trend these days) with hand delivery for a total wow factor! Before you go for your wedding venue shopping or book a team of professional and affordable wedding photographers to document your glamorous wedding day in the best frames, pick a flawless and glamorous wedding theme for your big day. The possible themes for glamorous weddings range from art deco, old-world glam to a whitewashed winter fête with loads of textured fabric!

 

Wedding Venue Idea

The initial step when hosting a glamorous-themed wedding is choosing a wedding venue that is relatively formal. The reason we are going behind a relatively formal wedding venue is that it will instantly elevate the complete vibe of your glamorous wedding day! A formal wedding venue will have both features in abundance- glamor, and boldness. Well, country clubs and luxurious ballrooms are a great starting point, since they are generally decked out with endless glitz and glam like enchanting chandeliers, shining marble flooring, and mind-blowing windows drapery! In short, for a glamorous wedding vibe, look out for historic and vintage wedding venues like the estates and mansions as they will effortlessly give your wedding an even stronger sense of grandeur!

If you are feeling super glam, you can also consider having a glamorous castle wedding. Hey, wait! To have a fairytale-like wedding in a castle, you don’t have to travel all the way to Europe. In America, there are endless and magnificent castle wedding venues that will make fantastic backdrops for a swanky affair!

 

Glamorous Wedding Attires

Make your grand and dramatic entrance to your glamorous wedding ceremony in a wedding dress that sparkles, and radiates glam and glitz in every possible way! There are endless options to choose from when it comes to trendy wedding dresses. If you are going for a classic ball gown wedding dress adorned with a beaded bodice and layered skirt lending a dramatic statement, then trust us, you have chosen the best option. A Princess-style ball gown wedding dress will accentuate your figure and will divert all eyes to you the moment you will walk down the aisle towards your soulmate! All the modern brides, who are looking for a chic wedding dress for their glamorous wedding, should search for wedding dresses with intricate and exquisite details, such as delicate embroidery, and finest lacework! Trendy and funky brides out there, you must check out a colored wedding dress with an illusion bodice as it will surely elevate your whole glam bridal look! Don’t forget to take your wedding gown’s neckline into consideration when you are thinking of a perfect hairdo for a glamorous-themed wedding. Well, strapless sweethearts look flawless with a sweeping updo, whereas loose and messy waves gracefully complement the shape of a plunging V-neck-style wedding dress!

It is absolutely true that glam weddings are the best opportunities for brides to get playful with their wedding accessories! For an elegant glamorous wedding day look, you should opt for sparkly stilettos, statement-making jewelry, or a beaded hair clip as it will always add a touch of sparkle to your entire look!

No doubt, for the gentleman and his groomsmen squad, a formal tuxedo or suits in darker tones will be an ideal option for a glamorous-themed wedding. But if your partner does not want that traditional black suit, then they can always bend the rules with dark blue shades which are still considered formal but with a twist of more modern and fashion-forward flair. In fact, they can also go with a trend-forward velvet dinner jacket.

 

The Best Color Combinations for Glamorous Wedding

A glamorous wedding is all about luxury and elegance. And when talking about the best color combinations for a glamorous-themed wedding, you should always go for something refined and classy but don’t miss out on including a hint of drama! Monochromatic tones (like the all-white or various shades of one hue) like the glam queen, Kim Kardashian, did on her glamorous wedding day. Or one or two neutral colors like gold, black, and gray are some of the best wedding color palettes for a glamorous wedding. Just a suggestion here, just add a bold accent color as it will tie everything together and will be a stunning setting for our professional wedding photographers to capture incredible shots! Some of the latest and trending wedding color accents that are perfect for a glorious wedding color palette include red, emerald green, and amethyst!

A glorious wedding is incomplete without sparkle, so don’t forget to factor that in, especially when you are selecting the wedding color palette. Shimmering silver and shining gold always work great as accent hues for most color combinations, but a completely metallic wedding color palette is another option that we can assure you will love! Well, here is an alternative for gold and silver, metal hues, that includes copper and rose gold color combinations. Trust us, they always bring a modern spin to a glamorous wedding theme.

 

Bloom Ideas for Glamorous Wedding

Flowers always act as an extension of the wedding decor when it comes to glamorous weddings. You can never go wrong with classic rose centerpieces. So, all you have to do is ask your florist to create certain floral arrangements for your wedding day decor as it will not only stand out to your wedding guests but also in your wedding photographs!

You don’t have to limit yourself to a single type of flower, you can always choose multiple flowers, but you have to make sure that the flowers that you are selecting exude luxury in the best way possible! Flowers like calla lilies, orchids, roses, peonies, ranunculuses, English roses, Juliet garden roses, and spray roses are some of the finest options that you can consider adding to your glamorous wedding decor! For bridal bouquets, a cascading style bouquet will surely add an instant splash of drama to your entire bridal look! To make it chicer, you can consider adding sparkling brooches, pearl strands, rhinestones, greenery, and long satin ribbons.

Get playful and experimental around the different styles of centerpiece to evoke the extra drama to the overall setting of your glamorous wedding. Bring in some lovely tall centerpieces that are in trend especially for glamorous weddings because of their eye-catching impact. Step up your floral game by displaying the blooms atop candelabras that are adorned with stunning crystal strands. If you are thinking of adding lower centerpieces, consider them placing in clusters on each and every table for a more added impact!

For brides who are planning to have glamorous weddings, here is a great thing about it. You can always incorporate various decors ideas that might be too avant-garde for other styles!
