It's no surprise to any of the Pinterest-addicted brides-to-be out there that we are smack dab in the middle of the Gilded Era of wedding color trends. Gold is everywhere. There are gold tablecloths, gold cakes, gold shoes, gold vases and even gold bridesmaid dresses! All gold everything! It's truly a breathtaking accent color, and really reinforces the vintage look that so many brides desire in 2015.
However, since the gold trend is so heavily used right now, we gilded brides run a high risk of our weddings looking significantly dated in photos for years to come. A smart way around this dilemma is to use trends in moderation, rather than letting them be the main event. Incorporate your gold into more traditional wedding looks for a classic and timeless look.
Gold plate chargers during the reception provide an elegant look that will never appear overly-dated. Your grandmother probably even used something similar for decades to decorate her table for Christmas dinner with the family! Head to any rental company or party supply store and you can get a version of these for your wedding day.
Gold-foiled invitations and programs are very trendy right now, but still remain subtle enough that they will look chic for years to come. Gold candelabras remain another timeless piece that can be found in many homes, often passed down through generations, as they are incredibly durable and look gorgeous on a decked-out dinning room table. Adding these to your tablescapes make for an eye-catching and flattering element - and who doesn't love the idea of a romantic, candle-lit reception?
