Back in the day, when I was a bride, silver or gold would have been considered gauche. Today, metallics are everywhere and bridal bling is considered de rigueur. If I had to do it over again, silver and gold would be sprinkled throughout my special day.

Cake designer Penny Stankiewicz of Sugar Couture in New York City created this glamorous gold confection. Gold fondant cake “scales”, glitter dusting, stencils… they are all used on this gilded wedding dessert.
Everything from this collection is custom made to order using a fresh pattern to your measurements. The Primrose is exquisite and sophisticated with gold and amber bead work. Perfect for the 2nd wedding dress, or the bride who doesn't want to really look like one.

Looking for color? Pantone is the place to find your favorite. And an inspiration board is exactly what you need to complete the vision for your special day. I find this shade of grey/silver to be softly sophisticated.

For the glam girl. If subtle is not your middle name, these dresses (L - R ) by Marchesa, and Elie Saab are chic choices for the bride, a bridesmaid, or wedding guest.

What a beautiful and ethereal look. I apologize, but the website where I found this didn't list the name of the designer (hate that.) It's so pretty and what a perfect pick for a beach wedding.
