How to Choose the Right Rhinestones
Choosing the right rhinestone colours is key for harmonizing with your wedding's colour scheme, setting the tone and mood. To achieve an elegant look that reflects personal style, consider these tips:
- Opt for rhinestones that enhance or closely match your primary and secondary colours for a cohesive feel. For example, the two main colours in your flower bouquet might be pink and green, so choose rhinestones in different shades of pink and different shades of green to bring the theme to life.
- Seasonal themes offer unique opportunities to get creative with colour - use cool toned, clear rhinestones for a winter theme or warm, vibrant hues for summer weddings.
- Think about the effect you want, like a subtle shimmer or a bold sparkle, to select rhinestones that complement not just the colour but the atmosphere of your celebration. For instance, a Christmas themed wedding can be over the top and fun with shiny metallic gold and silver rhinestones, and splashes of bright red and green. Or it can be a more subtle sophisticated sparkle using toned down golds, deep ruby red and dark emerald green.
- Think about rhinestone sizes, do you want full on coverage and ultimate sparkle? Go for larger stones or even sew on rhinestones when decorating. For just a subtle hint of sparkle, choose smaller rhinestone sizes such as 3mm. These look pretty yet delicate when used to embellish veils, shoes and invitations.
