Nothing says it's a sophisticated bar like crystals hanging about and making it look, rather sexy and dramatic.
Crystal Candelabras
Crystal candelabras are a dream to work with - they can make any wedding a grander one in minutes. Just add flowers, tea lights and even table cloth with a little bling and we are set!

Tiny tents or canopies in an indoor event are totally on fleek these days. But if they come with blingy drapes, then that's that - so so glam!
Crystal Hangings

The sweetest and the simplest way to make any party look glam? Add blingy hangings and the space will look extravagant in minutes!
Crystal Chandeliers
A big crystal chandelier is just the thing a wintery night wedding needs. The warm glow and the fantastic look it came with - so chic!
Custom Swarovski Crystal Wedding Glasses

Yes, these sweet-looking glasses can really up the ante at any wedding. Really cute stuff! Swarovski has some great options we heard! Crystal Monograms

Add another bit of Swarovski to this - the crystal monograms are really pretty and they customise it to your linking and initials. Blinging it up, takes on a new meaning!
Crystal Hangings
Add romantic roses to crystals and you have such a delicate feel to the wedding.

This is a great entrance idea - the bride and groom can enter under a canopy of rhinestones, crystals and other bling and you have a dramatic entryway.
Table Cards

Get table cards or even signages wrapped up with a bit of bling on them - it's all in the little details you see.
Crystals + Bulbs = Awesome Lighting
Just like the roses we saw, there is merit in attaching crystals and bulbs together - they really keep the look modern and avant-garde!
Crystal Plate Setting
We love this because it comes with crystal-encrusted plates - ah, so cute and so new!
Loose Crystals
Throw a few loose crystals around for drama around the tables and see how easy it is to glam up the decor!
Sparkly Chairs

Who doesn't love shiny sparkly chairs - just stitch the rhinestones on them, or wrap them up in a sheet and design new chair covers or just drape them in strands around the chairs.
Crystal Additions on Centrepieces

It's interesting to see how much you can do with rhinestones and crystals - you can wrap up the candles and vases with them to add elegance to your centre table.

Forget round and traditional chandeliers, make way for the new square rain chandeliers that can really make any wedding decor stand out - very exotic!

First, get your cake, dress it up in crystals and then, use a blingy monogram to make it look gorg!
Blingy Mandap

It's not just flowers that add the drama, make sure you also dress the mandap up with crystal hangings to bring in a more global look.
As blingy fillers

Whenever you feel that the bigger decor such as birdcages and more look rather less, add these crystal hangings as fillers. They make the wedding decor look fuller.
Crystal Trees

As an installation, crystals can make any look and shape rock. For example, these crystal trees can really add drama to the wedding and also, make that space a conversation starter.
