Have you heard? Crystal Ballroom and our other top New Jersey wedding venues are now offering Sequin Chair Wraps for sparkletastic weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Sweet 16 parties, you name it. Contact us to see a sample in every color – apple red, aqua blue, black, blush, gold, ivory, light turquoise, navy blue, and silver.

In honor of this latest addition to our Accessories, we wanted to share 5 glittery ideas from real weddings at our NJ venues, to help you add some elegant sparkle to your big day without going full-on Jem and the Holograms (mental note: add “plan a Jem and the Holograms wedding” to my bucket list). So come on all you Crystal Ballroom divas and diva dudes… let your glitter flag fly! Keep reading to get your sparkle on, or call our Crystal Ballroom team at (732) 780-3405 for more ideas!

This crafty glitter marquee sign is, like, four wedding trends rolled into one. Wine bottles. Yarn. Glitter. Cute typography. Yes, please! Just remember… it’s always wise to finish off your glitter wedding project with a spritz of clear acrylic sealant spray, to keep the glitter from spreading like a sparkly epidemic. Otherwise, your cat may be cleaning glitter out of her coat for weeks.

Who says NJ brides don’t know when less is more? A touch of sparkle is all you need to make a statement. This stylish bride paired a demure lace gown with a rhinestone belt. The effect? She’s rocking a totally pulled together vintage vibe… and her waist looks extra tiny!

Perfect. Just perfect. We’re sooo glad this adorable couple picked the Crystal Ballroom at the Radisson Freehold out of all the wedding venues in Monmouth County. Not only were they a pleasure to work work… but they took our favorite glitter wedding photo opp of the year! Just remember that blowing glitter into the camera is an outdoor sport.

Calling all magpie brides. How much do you love this brooch bouquet? By sticking to a color scheme of gold, silver, and pearl, this bride gave her sparkly brooch bouquet a cohesive look. If you’re more the kaleidoscopic explosion of colors type, then go for it! How to find all the trinkets for your bouquet? Ask your bridesmaids for help. Cruise thrift stores and flea markets. Raid your mom’s jewelry box (you can always disassemble the bouquet and give her treasures back later… this bouquet won’t wilt!). Even inexpensive baubles from the tween jewelry store at the mall can look expensive and amazing paired with the right vintage finds. Have fun… and send us pictures!

Last but not least… don’t forget to add some glitter to the sweetheart table! This Mr and Mrs sign looks amazing in blue LED uplighting. Here’s a tip… if you’re feeling overwhelmed by pressure to DIY every single detail of you wedding, take a step back and just focus on a few projects. Save your energy for the sweetheart table if you’ve got better things to do than make something for every table. After all, all eyes will be on you, so focus there first! It’s okay to give your hot glue gun a rest once in a while.
