One of the biggest trends we’ve seen light up in weddings over the last few years is acrylic details – and given how modern the look is, it’s only going to keep being a thing in the world of couples tying the knot. If you’ve zeroed in on anything see-through at your friend or family member’s ‘I dos,’ then you’ve seen the trend at work; if it’s your turn, now, and you want to incorporate some acrylic accents in your own affair, then we say “GO FOR IT!” You can’t go wrong with a motif that quite literally disappears into the background, allowing all of your words and sentiments to shine.
In truth, acrylic decor is one without limitations. Because it’s clear and lightweight, it can harmonize with virtually any wedding aesthetic – from rustic and romantic to modern and whimsical – any season or color palette. You don’t have to worry about anything breaking during the day, either, because the elements aren’t delicate and precious like real glass. While they bear the same subtlety and translucence as their quartz crystals counterparts, they’re a lot stronger and more resilient: this is the decor you want standing by on your big day.
Since we’ve seen Lucite and acrylic decor star in countless Style Me Pretty real weddings and inspirational shoots, we obviously had to weave the contemporary trend into our own SMP Shop. You’ll see that there are a number of clear tablescape additions and easy-hang neon signs (that pop against their acrylic backings!) available to shop, but don’t forget that acrylic can come as laser-cut gold mirrored iterations, too. If you’d like to bring a festive, yet undoubtedly striking touch to your champagne tower or marquee bar at cocktail hour, you can make it happen with our Gold Bubbly Bar and Cheers Signs. We like them opposite some fancy gilded rim champagne flutes, but they can go with any modern beverage display.
We have so much more pretty on the horizon for our Shop, and we can’t wait to share new additions soon! But for now, we’re looking back on some of our favorite acrylic moments from the Style Me Pretty archives and sharing similar looks that are ready to shop right now!
The calligraphed gold details are so beautiful – especially with the juxtaposition of bold, all-cap typeface and soft, romantic script. With the draped greenery and spray of flowers at the bottom, it almost looks like the couple’s names and ceremony particulars are distilled in a living, breathing organic moment.
Create a welcome table that gives your guests a few extracurriculars to consider – writing in your guest book, dropping off their cards and/or gifts, and finding their seat for the reception. Candles, greenery, and flowers do a stellar job completing the scene.
It’s simple and oh-so-memorable. The table number is clearly paramount, while the acrylic design plays a humble canvas.
While our table numbers are lettered versus numbered, they still provide a clean and evocative modern display for each of your tablescapes. The printing in real gold foil ensures optimal double-sided visibility, not to mention, it adds a dose of romance to an otherwise minimalist focal point.
Everyone else has escort cards featuring their names lettered in script + their table numbers, but the bride and groom stand alone at their table – the sweetheart table. And sure, it’s nice to see your name written out, but when you’re the guests of honor for just a day (or a weekend), you can embrace your Bride and Groom titles, proudly.
Acrylic place card, but make it fashion. What does that look like? Well, you blow it up a bit – instead of just going with a simple acrylic place card, you go with larger clear and gold foil bride and groom signs. We think these pair gorgeously with single blooms atop your napkins.
… And a little something something for the back of your chairs. #OurDay
