Shimmer + Shine
Anyone who knows me knows that I love anything glittery, shiny, metallic, and full of sequins. Besides New Year's Eve, weddings are the next best event where shimmer and shine details are a perfect fit. Using metallic vases for the flowers and sprinkling gold confetti on the tables will add a splash of modern, metallic beauty to your wedding.
