So, there’s a saying, popularized out of a line by William Shakespeare … you might be familiar with it, maybe you aren’t, but it goes something like this, “all that glitters is not gold.” We get it, it makes sense – essentially not everything that’s incredible, sparkly, beyond mesmerizing is all that it’s cracked up to be. But when we’re talking about weddings? Well, we’ll make an exception, because everything that can be gilded, glittery, and/or gold – should be! It’s the most versatile metallic to use since it can really match any vibe – from romantic to bohemian, modern to high glamour. It also plays well with ALL the pretty palettes, whether composed of soft cosmetic colors like blush, taupe, and champagne, rich jewel tones like emerald and turquoise, or even other metallics: mixed metals for the win. We’ll always be #teamgold over here at Style Me Pretty, so you can be sure our shop is always stocked with gold details for your ‘I Dos.’
To celebrate our newest shop launch, we’re thrilled to gift one of our couples with a shimmering supply of gold goodies for their best day ever! Head over to our Instagram page right now for the full entry how-to, because you definitely won’t want to miss out on this golden opportunity.

Keep reading to get the scoop on what you can win for your wedding! Only one winner will be chosen, but you can still find all these golden treasures online exclusively at the Style Me Pretty Shop!
When we talk about having a warm welcome for guests, we imagine each person strolling into cocktail hour and upon taking a look at all the wooden details mixed with modern acrylic & metallic motifs, and chunky and & tapered candlelight everywhere, feeling at home (but still far away from theirs, because attending a wedding is the ultimate escape/date night).
Say ‘welcome’ to the wedding with gold calligraphed signs to display on your escort card and/or gift+card table! And while you’re at it, give your guests a place to snap those #bestweddingever photos before they leave some love in your guest book!
…. Talk about a perfect place for a photo opp! #love, it’s what got your guests there in the first place!
Let metallics be your magnet to draw all your guests to the bar(s)! We love prettying up a simple bar setup with garlands, candles, and some whimsical signage that just says it all. It’s just an easy way to add some extra sparkle and enlightened elegance to your barscape.
And if those things don’t do it, CHEERS certainly will, as will bottles of bubbly nestled sweetly in some golden champagne buckets. (These also look super cute for those bridal suite “getting ready” photos with the girls!)
Remember when we said that gold goes with any kind of vibe? Well, we weren’t lying!! Classic, clean+modern, rustic, romantic, gold can do it all for your guest tables. Our gold foil table numbers are such standouts, and the gold wire wooden stands are a total #mood. Not only can they hold table numbers, you can also use them to hold menus and reserved signs for VIPs.
Your sweetheart table, too, can get a nice dose of gilded glam with metallic Mr. & Mrs. napkin rings that feel ultra royal. And when you’re after something to spice up your sweetheart chairs, check out our very own Mr. & Mrs. gold-toned chair signs. They’re one of those ‘little things’ that can make a major difference when you’re looking back at your day!
Because, if you didn’t go for the gold with your cake cutting moment, did it even happen??! We’re sweet on a simple, multi-tier buttercream confection atop our gold-accented cake stand, and once that layered beauty is cut, it just tastes better when eaten off of golden, scallop-edged cake plates. Can’t argue with that!
Finish this classic snapshot with a toast to each other – out of bride and groom champagne coupes – and a little kiss to seal the deal! If frosting gets passed between lips, then so be it!
Did we convince you that this color is, simply put, a gold standard? Hope so! Shop all of these items exclusively on Style Me Pretty, and don’t forget to enter our giveaway that’s going on right now!!
