Bridal Bling... How much bling is too much of a good thing?

Today's brides are all about the bling! But how much is too much of a good thing?  A little bit of sparkle goes a long way... don't over do your wedding bling.
 
Subtle hints here and there of sparkle add wonder and magic to your day.  The best sparkle is found in unexpected places.
 
Such as on bridal shoes!! As you kneel in Church, this little bit of sparkle will make your guests chuckle. For a bit more sophisticated sparkle you can add a more glamorous touch, still with out going too far.
Just remember not to overdo the sparkle on yourself either.
 
If you keep your jewelery simple, such as chandelier earrings and no necklace... you can add sparkle to your look in your bouquet.  This lovely gardenia ribbon tied bouquet fashions just enough vintage sparkle for a unique look and a little wow factor.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Centerpieces are most likely going to be your biggest investment when it comes to the decor of your wedding.  Your guests will be captivated by subtle sparkle on large centerpieces while enjoying your wedding dinner.
I would limit any other tablescape sparkle to subtle shimmer to avoid a bling overdose.  With dimmed lights and the glow of soft candle light, this is sure to achieve as sophisticated glamorous look.
 
Not crazy about crystal centerpieces? You could still add glitz to your tables in smaller doses.  Table number such as these are charming accompanied by a picture of you and your groom.
One of my favorite places to add glamor to your wedding is in your cake.  Your cake is edible art.  Your guests will ooh and ahh at the cake as they enter your reception.  Often times, the cake is the centerpiece to the reception room itself.  Not to mention there is an entire tradition centered around it.  It is sure to be photographed over and over so this is a place to make your bling count.  A cake such as this one is glamorous and sure to be a star!
