Varieties of decor for wedding glasses and tips for choosing

There are no trifles in a wedding celebration. Even the design of the glasses of the newlyweds should be treated with special attention. This work can be entrusted to the master or create an original decor yourself.

As vessels for alcoholic beverages at the wedding for the bride and groom, you can choose wine glasses or glasses. It is important that they are on the leg. These are suitable for festive drinks, such as champagne. For this purchase, it is easiest to contact a bridal salon. There you can find glasses that have a certain shade, or transparent. It is also possible to choose glasses with a specific shape of the bowl, for example, elongated, round, having a bend at the top.

Sometimes such vessels may have original legs. like heart, dolphin and the like. When it comes to the independent design of glasses for the festive table, it is better to choose a simple shape of the legs to fashion polymer jewelry on it or decorate it in another way. The material for the glasses can also be different. This is crystal, and ordinary glass, and even metal.

Certain traditions are associated with glasses of the newlyweds at the wedding. These vessels break in front of the place where the banquet is organized. This promises happiness to the newlyweds. Moreover, the harbinger of a calm and joyful life together will be that both one and the other break up or both remain unharmed. The smaller the fragments, the more they will bring happiness to the house. However, one always wants to keep significant attributes from the wedding. In addition, glasses become a kind of amulets for husband and wife.Therefore, to make out for the wedding should be more than one pair of such dishes.

The most obvious thing to do on the glasses is the decor in the form of a bride and groom. For decoration, you can use a fabric that matches the color with the clothes of the newlyweds. Most often these are black and white colors. For the groom, for example, “bow tie”, for the bride “skirt” with “veil”.

Today, the use of materials such as rhinestones and beads to decorate holiday dishes is in fashion. They are attached with a glue gun. You can decorate with shiny crystals only legs, or you can capture parts of the bowls. Glasses with rhinestones will look very impressive, especially in photographs where you can capture the festive splendor of such jewelry.

If the choice fell on this design option, it is important to observe the measure in the selection of decor elements. Do not use too many crystals of conflicting shades. It is advisable to choose a narrow circle of flowers to avoid variegation. It is possible to make decoration with Swarovski stones:

• place them in a picturesque mess over the entire surface, without touching the edges where people put their lips;
• create an image in the form of a heart, wedding rings, first letters in the names of the newlyweds.

One of the easiest ways to give originality to glasses is to make decor with ribbons. On the legs of wine glasses you can tie beautiful bows, and so that the design does not look boring, complement the composition with pearls. Jewelry on the legs of glasses in the form of artificial or natural flowers looks beautiful. Living ones are good to choose from the same ones as those included in the bride's bouquet.

Decorating with fresh flowers requires effort in a limited time - you will have to create a decor just a few hours before the wedding. The selected flowers are pre-placed in water so that they are saturated with moisture as much as possible. After that, cut almost to the buds, and cut the slices with pieces of wet cotton wool, using a special ribbon for floristry. Teip tape acts as a fastening element with a glass.

The buds with greenery and small artificial ornaments, beads and rhinestones that are fixed with glue will look tender. Artificial flowers will have an important advantage - they will preserve the memory of the holiday for many years. To create such compositions, you can use various materials, for example, foamiran. Like polymer clay, it is baked in the oven, but does not hang with a heavy stone on the thing for which it serves as an ornament. From it you can create amazing decor with red roses, arrange wine glasses in blue or any other.

An interesting option for this kind of decoration is using artificial petals. From fake flowers, the petals are taken and glued one at a time. You need to glue it from top to bottom from the bowl of the glass to its leg. Then it seems that the blossoming bud is like putting on a glass. The leg of the vessel should be decorated with ribbons or feathers and other decorations to the tone of the composition.

The design of such dishes with lace will look sensual and alluring. A strip of lace fabric can become the basis of decor, and an additional element. Lace on the glass will look good not only in white, but also in cream and even turquoise colors. They can match the color of the bride’s dress or contrast with it. Lace can be wrapped around a glass bowl, and also used in compositions with rhinestones or flowers.

To keep the jewelry firmly held, a lace strip is glued to the surface of the glass bowl. The glass is degreased (for this, the dishes must be thoroughly washed, allowed to dry and treated with alcohol). For gluing, a strip of lace is taken, a couple of centimeters longer than the circumference of the vessel. You can attach it to the glass with special glue for glass surfaces, which is easy to purchase in a handicraft store, or with silicone compound.They retreat at least a centimeter from the edge, so that in the process of using the glass, the lips do not touch the lace trim.

To glue a strip of fabric, it should be pulled tightly, and the glue is applied so that it does not spread over the lace. If such a lace is used as an additional element of decoration, you can cut out some beautiful fragment from it, for example, in the form of a flower or a butterfly, and glue it. With this decoration, glasses will acquire a noble appearance, even if the simplest glass was used to create them.

To decorate wedding glasses, the painting technique on glass surfaces is well suited. It can be a simple image with the initials of the bride and groom or something more complex, for example, beautiful lace drawings or a symbolic image of figures of the newlyweds, doves, swans and so on. Before creating the final image, it is better to make a few test drawings. And if things are not very good with artistic talent, stencils will come to the rescue.

To decorate the glasses with painting, you need to use acrylic compositions or paints on glass. When choosing the latter, contours that are sold in separate tubes should also be used. This will not allow liquid stained glass to flow. When using acrylic paints, contours are optional. When the image dries, it will remain covered with a layer of special varnish.

The best way to capture a wedding day is to use engraving on glasses. For such decoration, you will need the services of a specialist who can manually apply the desired image. The bride and groom are required to think through the meaning of the picture or short and capacious inscriptions that should fit on the glasses.

You can decorate the vessels for drinks with the help of sparkles. Gold and silver can look bright and rich. So you can finish the leg and the goblet. To get a specific image of sparkles, you can use stencils. Such a pattern is glued from the inside of the glass to tape, and from the outside it is repeated with a brush with glue. Until he grasps, it remains to pour spangles on top. When the glue dries, the extra sparkling grains will fly around, and the necessary ones that make up the picture will continue to hold on.

Sometimes the design of wine glasses requires only rough materials to make the design look like a rustic. For this, a combination of burlap or thin twine with flowers is suitable. Such elements can be fixed on the legs of the vessels, and the proper impression will be created. Those who are passionate about decoupage can very well apply their skills to gently stick pieces of napkins to glass surfaces. For work you need:

• brush (or several);
• varnish (transparent);
• adhesive for decoupage on glass.

Experienced masters of decoupage do not cut out the drawings, but tear them out of the napkin, because such “torn images” hold better after gluing. The glue is applied to the surface of the used pieces of napkins, and also capture the glass around the image. The hardest part is to gently smooth the paper. To do this, hold the brush from the middle of the picture to its edges. After it dries and is varnished, its outline can be decorated with ribbons, rhinestones and other additional elements.

A prerequisite for decorating wine glasses for the bride and groom is to match their overall style of the holiday. This applies to the color and texture of the materials used. It is good when champagne glasses are combined with a bottle containing sparkling wine.Making a table, they should be decorated in the same spirit.
