Diamond-themed weddings are becoming more and more popular. Everyone wants to feel like a movie star on their special day, and what better ways than to do like the celebrities on a red carpet walk? While the cost may seem extravagant, there are ways to have a diamond-themed wedding that can make it fun as well as special. Just do the research, search for diamonds online, and relax about making it perfect. Instead, opt to have some fun with the theme.
The Reception
This is where a diamond-themed wedding can be a lot of fun. You can have ice sculptures that mimic diamonds, or if you don’t want to pay that much, have the caterer use diamond-shaped ice cube trays. The cake can mimic diamond ring boxes from your favorite diamond merchant. If that’s not your style, just have the caterer frost the cake in a diamond pattern. There are a number of crystal accessories that mimic diamonds for a budget-friendly diamond-themed wedding. There are diamond ring paperweights, crystal studded one-time cameras, and Swarovski or crystal pins to decorate tables. You should use these during the reception and save the real stuff for the wedding party, the bride, and the groom.
The Bridal Party
It would be thrilling to give the bridal party their own diamonds. Depending on your budget this may be a possibility. Take a look at diamonds online to see if you can get matching discount jewelry for the entire bridal party. They make great bridal gifts that can be worn during the wedding to glitz up your wedding and even after the nuptials have been said. Finding diamonds online that play double duty as a wedding adornment and a bridal gift is one way to defray the costs of the wedding while thrilling your bridal party too. The other “diamonds” to decorate the flowers and the wedding chapel can be made from crystals and are quite appropriate for interior decorating. Some people add sparkling crystals to the flower arrangements to make it seem as if they had diamond dewdrops rained on them.
Your Wedding Gown
This is where you should splurge the most: on the bridal jewelry itself. The bride’s walk down the aisle has to be glittering and elegant. It is nice to give the groom some diamond jewelry too, but if the budget doesn’t allow, the diamonds would be best spent on the bride who needs to make an impressive entry. Since the bride also needs to wear something borrowed, she can opt to wear a relative’s special piece of diamond jewelry for the wedding to help defray the costs. It is not only traditional to wear something borrowed; it makes it easier to find the money for other diamond accents to make your diamond-themed wedding a great success. With more discretionary money in the wedding budget you can add some diamonds to the groom’s men in the form of tie clips or cufflinks too. A very nice wedding gift for the men can be watches with a diamond solitaire in the face. It can serve double purpose as wedding jewelry and bridal gift too.
