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.

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

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

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.

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.

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)."

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!

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. 

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.

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

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.

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.
