How to Add Bling to a Wedding Centerpiece
- 1). Use shiny items to build your centerpieces, such as crystal-cut vases, candle holders and glassware. Vases, or other containers, encrusted with faux gemstones or rhinestones will contribute to an over-the-top look. Glittery holiday decorations or Styrofoam balls rolled in glitter can fill a vase or crystal container. Set your centerpieces on mirrors to reflect the light and sparkle, creating more of a bling effect. Tabletop crystal chandeliers or lanterns are ideal as well.
- 2). Hang strings of crystals from shimmering, spray-painted branches or spilling out of a vase holding large feather arrangements. Entwine a string of crystal beads with ivy, garland or strings of miniature white lights to add more sparkle to your arrangement. Any hanging crystals will reflect the light and add to your centerpieces.
- 3). Insert bouquet jewelry, such as picks featuring rhinestone flowers or clusters, into floral centerpieces. Mix shiny faux gemstone flowers in with fresh or silk flowers, or create an entire bouquet of glimmering flowers for an over-the-top sparkling centerpiece. Bouquet buckles, which look like fancy belt buckles on a smaller scale, can hold ribbon together around vases, jars or other containers for added bling. Bouquet buckles come in different shapes, such as hearts, circles or rectangles.
- 4). Sprinkle rhinestone or faux gemstone confetti around the table, particularly on top of a mirror. The sparkling confetti will reflect the smallest amount of light for a shiny, bling effect. Diamond confetti comes in different colors and can also be used as a filler in vases or bowls holding floating candles, flowers or other decorations.
- 5). Complete your centerpieces with a small amount of light, such as from votive or LED candles. The light will allow your bling decorations to reflect for a more spectacular appearance.
