It's not just your fashion and accessories that can be sparkly. What about a sparkly wedding cake? Forget rustic cakes and traditional white wedding cakes. Instead, why not think about gold flakes and detailing, glitter icing and disco ball decorations? Have we got your creative juices flowing yet? These images should help!

sparkly wedding decorations

Moving on from cakes, there's also sparkly wedding decor. Of course, disco balls are a popular choice for a reason. Nothing brings the party vibes like a disco ball does. But there are also streamers and fairy lights that provide glittery vibes. They look incredible in the photos and can really help dress up venues that act as a blank canvas.
