Wedding Wednesday: Clearly Chic Acrylic Details

Transparent wedding decor details are trending more than ever now, and going into 2022 for modern couples.  The use of lucite or acrylic can be minimalistic, sleek, and clearly chic. The transparency adds space and opens sight lines throughout your ceremony and reception. I love it all, and find these clear details to be elegant and sophisticated. Here's how you can follow the trend. 

Acrylic Wedding Invitation

A clear example that transparent does not mean boring. This invite features bright color surrounding a clearly chic invitation.

The Prettiest Pixel

Acrylic Wedding Cake Topper
So so pretty. The touch of gold or rose gold adds the elegance.

Taylor Street Favors

Acrylic Place Cards

Simple and minimal but very elegant. A necessary detail when you are having more than 50 guests.

SJ Letter Co.

Acrylic Alternative Guest Boolk

Interaction is always fun at any event. Get the guests involved in making a memory for you and your spouse. It becomes a forever keepsake when framed.

Custom Touch Store

Black Acrylic Seating Chart

Such an elegant vibe and lovely way to direct your guests to their seat. Irene will hand calligraphy each name for you. Also available in frosted white.

SJ Letter Co.

The Frame'd Collection Invitation Suite

Modern elegance. "This stunning invitation suite features a clear acrylic invitation, RSVP card, and a custom vellum belly band. The black and gold combination is balanced by a gray RSVP envelope (which can be changed out to any color of your choice)."

Golden Moments LA

Engraved Table Numbers & Stand

These are better than most, and will add a stunning statement to each table. Choose mirror clear as shown or black. So lovely!

Layla Belle Design

Mini Acrylic Chairs

One of my favorite wedding decor finds ever. These petite ghost chairs are so cleverly chic. Use them to hold a terrific truffle, or as a place card holder. They are just too good not to use for something. 

Rocheleau Designs

Acrylic Cake Stand

Every detail matters. Don't depend on your local bakery or wedding venue to have just what you want. The possibilities are endless with this stylish stand.

Flowers and Fiestas

Wedding Welcome Sign

Modern and sleek with an elegant edge. Perfect for a black and white wedding.

Z Create Design

Acrylic Favor Boxes & Thank You Tags

These are so well done! They come complete with printed hang tags and velvet ribbon in the color of your choice. A substantial little box like this will make your little favor look fabulous.

Establish Co. Gifts

Acrylic Dinner Menu

An acrylic menu not only gets your guests excited for dinner, it also adds a layer of interest to your tablescape. Then your guests can take it home as a momento of your special day.

DIY Wedding Decor With 828 Venues & Etsy

{ Click the photo above to see the post }

Today I share with you a "guest blogger" post I did a while ago for 828 Venues. You may remember that I featured these fabulous wedding venues before: Wedding Wednesday: Unique & Historic Venues For Your Big Day.  When they kindly asked me to be a guest blogger for their Indianapolis, Industry venue, I was honored and jumped at the chance.  Not everyone wants or can afford a wedding planner. Doing it yourself can be challenging unless you know where to shop.  Etsy is an excellent source for the DIY bride.

 

 In this post I talk about four different elements of wedding decor: signage, lighting, balloons (which are so trending this year) and tabletop. All four are important elements for your big day. Click any photo below to visit the post for inspiration and shopping links.
