Elegant Silver and Gold Receptions
Metallics have always been popular for weddings, but brides have always thought that it had to be either silver or gold, that they couldn’t be mixed. That old rule is out the window, sort of like the one that said that you can’t combine brown and black or red and pink. In fact, those are some of the hottest color combinations for weddings right now, which just goes to show how much styles have changed.
The silver and gold combination can be used in many ways throughout your wedding. A great place to start is with the bride’s ensemble. A truly glamorous look would be a wedding gown that is intricately embroidered with gold and silver metallic thread. It will give you a lusher effect than limiting yourself to just one of the metallic colors.
The rich gold nicely offsets the cooler silver, and together they are simply opulent. To continue the look, order custom bridal jewelry that combines both colors. One idea would be to select a bridal jewelry set that is custom made using sterling silver and gold colored Swarovksi crystals or pearls. Another idea is to have your bridal jewelry handcrafted using mixed metals; the combination of gold with silver or white gold is a classic look that will never go out of style.
Table linens are a great place to incorporate the silver and gold. Ornate brocades would be ideal, either for the tablecloths, napkins, or both. You could use a very fancy brocade napkin to dress up a simple ivory tablecloth. If you prefer a more opulent table setting, then layer up the metallic accents: a gold dupioni tablecloth with a silver and gold brocade napkin, topped with china that features a metallic border around the edges. Your guests are sure to be impressed!
Remember the old song,”Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.”? Just like in the song, silver and gold can sit side by side very harmoniously. The effect that you create for your reception will be nothing short of breathtaking.
