Types of wedding glass decor and tips for choosing

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

As vessels for alcoholic drinks at a wedding for the bride and groom, you can choose wine glasses or glasses. It is important that they were on the leg. Such are suitable for celebratory drinks, for example, for champagne. For this purchase the easiest way to contact the 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 these vessels may have original legs. type of heart, dolphin and the like. When it comes to self-styling glasses for a festive table, it is better to choose a simple shape of the legs, to mold jewelry made of polymer clay on it or to decorate it in another way. Material for glasses can also be different. This is crystal, and ordinary glass, and even metal.

Certain traditions are connected with the glasses of the newlyweds at the wedding. These vessels break in front of the place in which the banquet is organized. This promises happiness to the newlyweds. Moreover, the harbinger of a quiet and joyful life together will be that both one and the second will be broken, or both will remain unharmed. The smaller the fragments, the more they bring happiness to the house. However, you always want to leave significant attributes from the wedding. In addition, glasses become a kind of talisman of husband and wife. Therefore, to arrange for the wedding should not be one pair of such dishes.

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

The use of rhinestones and beads to decorate festive tableware is in fashion today. They are attached with a glue gun. You can decorate with shiny crystals only the legs, but you can also capture parts of the bowls. With rhinestones glasses will look very impressive, especially in photos where you can grab the festive brilliance of such jewelry.

If the choice fell on this design option, it is important to observe the measure in the choice of decorative elements. Do not use too many crystals of conflicting hues. It is advisable to choose a narrow range of colors to avoid variegation. You can make decoration with Swarovski stones:

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

One of the easiest ways to give originality to glasses is to decorate with ribbons. Beautiful bows can be tied on the legs of wine glasses, and in order to make such a design not look boring, you can add pearls to the composition. The decorations on the legs of glasses in the form of artificial or live flowers look beautiful. Live well pick from the same as those that are included in the bridal bouquet.

Decorating with fresh flowers requires effort in conditions of limited time - it will be necessary to create decor just a few hours before the wedding.Selected flowers are placed in water in advance so that they are so saturated with moisture. After that, cut almost to the buds, and the sections are closed with pieces of wet cotton, using a special ribbon for floristics. The tape acts as a fastening element with a glass.

Buds with greens and fine artificial jewelry, beads and rhinestones, which 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. Various materials can be used to create such compositions, for example, Foamiran. Like polymer clay, it is baked in the oven, but does not hang a heavy stone on the thing for which it serves as an ornament. From it you can create an amazing decor with red roses, arrange wine glasses in blue or in any other.

An interesting variant of this kind of design - with the help of artificial petals. Petals are taken from artificial flowers and glued one by one. It is necessary to glue from top to bottom from the cup of the glass to its leg. Then it seems that the blossoming bud seems to be worn on the glass. The leg of the vessel should be decorated with ribbons or feathers and other decorations to match the basis of the composition.

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

In order to keep the decoration firmly, a lace strip is glued to the surface of the glass cup. The glass is degreased (to do this, rinse the dishes thoroughly, let it dry and treat with alcohol). For gluing, a strip of lace is taken, a couple of centimeters longer than the circumference of the vessel. Attach it to the glass can be a special glue for glass surfaces, which is easy to buy at a handicraft store, or silicone composition. At least a centimeter recede from the edge, so that when using a glass, the lips do not touch the lace trim.

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

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

To decorate glasses painted, you need to use acrylic compounds or paint on glass. When choosing the latter should be used and contours that are sold in separate tubes. It will not allow liquid stained glass paints to spread. When using acrylic paints, contours are optional. When the image dries out, it will remain covered with a layer of special varnish.

The best way to capture the memory of the wedding day will be the use of engraving on the glasses. For such decorations 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 drawing or short and capacious inscriptions that should fit on the glasses.

You can decorate vessels for drinks with sparkles. Bright and rich can look gold or silver. So you can trim both the leg and the cup of the glass. To get a certain image of sparkles, you can use stencils. Such a picture is glued on the inside of the glass with an adhesive tape, and outside it is repeated with a brush with glue. Until he grabbed, it remains to pour spangles on top. When the glue is dry, the extra sparkling grains will fly around, and the necessary components of the drawing will continue to hold.

Sometimes the design of wine glasses requires only coarse materials to design in the style of rustic. For this fit a combination of burlap or thin twine with flowers. Such elements can be fixed on the legs of the vessels, and the proper impression will be created. Those who are passionate about decoupage may well apply their skills to gently glue pieces of napkins to glass surfaces. For work we need:

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

Experienced masters of decoupage drawings are not cut out, but pulled out of a napkin, since such “torn out images” are better kept after gluing. Glue is applied to the surface of the used pieces of napkins, and also capture the glass around the image. The most difficult thing is to gently smooth the paper. To do this, you need to hold a brush from the middle of the picture to its edges. After it dries out and is varnished, its outline can be decorated with ribbons, rhinestones, and other additional elements.

Well, when champagne glasses are combined with a bottle in which there is a sparkling wine. Making a table, they should be decorated in a single spirit.

The traditional choice is the same shape glasses. Although it is not at all necessary. It would be interesting to look like a combination of a tall and narrow glass for the groom with a low one and rounded for the bride.
