Marvellous metallic wedding trend

Think every wedding is the same? Think again! What may surprise you about the world of weddings is that like fashion, each new season brings with it a whole new host of trends. Gone are the days of the cookie cutter weddings with more and more brides (and grooms) longing for something that little bit different for their wedding day, and we have to say… we’re delighted!

At Magpie Linens, while we may be involved in hundreds of weddings each year, we love the fact that each wedding breaks the mould and we’ll forgive you for thinking that if you’ve seen one wedding, you’ve seen them all.

So what trend has caught our eye this year? Marvellous metallics of course! Brides and grooms with sparkly personalities perfectly evoke this with lashings of sequins effortlessly placed throughout their wedding day.

Not only are weddings supposed to speak volumes about your personality, they should be fun, a fact which often gets lost during nights of planning, prep and pinning. As a couple, if you want to portray your fun side, sequins are perfect! And that’s where we at Magpie Linens come in. We’re masters when it comes to this much loved trend.

While sequins and sparkle may be popular (and showing no signs of leaving anytime soon), the good news is that with our extensivecollection, there are hundreds of versatile ways to inject a little sparkle. Whether you want to go all out or add just a hint, we’ve got it covered with our highly sought collection of tablecloths and runners.

 Metallics are extremely versatile, depending on how you want to incorporate them into your wedding day, and they effortlessly match any theme. They can be elegant, whimsical, ethereal or even natural. It’s simply all about how you use them. And you don’t just need to stick to gold either – our collection proves just that! When it comes to adding a touch of sparkle, you can introduce subdued tones of rose gold, blush pink or silver, or for pops of colour, opt for hot pinks, beautiful burgundy or ruby red for a true style statement.

Our collection lends itself to any season! For brides with a penchant for gothic touches, nothing other than a Halloween wedding theme will do and so our black sequin cloths are ideal, perfectly complemented with orange and white tones which instantly pop! Feeling festive? For weddings during the Christmas season, reds, whites and greens are always a winner.

It’s not all about blocks of colour either. With accent cloths adorned with chevron and vine prints, it’s easy to keep things distinctly different.

To nod to the roaring 1920’s Great Gatsby era, brides are opting for true opulence and so our collection of luxe sequin slips, sashes and ostrich feather chair covers are top of their list. These definitely add the wow factor to any wedding, leaving a lasting impression with guests. Again, various styles, colour choices and texture finishings keep things far from boring.

So if your wedding theme lends itself to the marvellous metallic trend, get in touch with Magpie Lines and allow us to add the perfect infusion of sparkle to your wedding day.

Sinead and Dom's Wonderful Wedding in Belfast

Today we have the pleasure of sharing Sinead and Dom's fabulous wedding, which took place at the unique Crumlin Road Gaol, Belfast. Photographer team, Simple Tapestry, were on hand to capture their beautiful day.

Hollie from Rosehip and Berry, a beautiful floral studio, had helped Sinead decorate their wedding venue with gorgeous floral details that really brought the place to life. Blooms and foliage were used as table centrepieces and adorned on golden candelabras, and the mixture of flowers and greenery combined glamour with a pretty feminine feel.

Sinead and Dom opted for the Chevron Sequin Glitter Table Runners for their wedding reception, and they really added a touch of sparkle to their venue, fitting in perfectly with their wedding theme. The table runners looked wonderful with their golden calligraphy table names, and created an incredibly glamorous atmosphere for this happy couple's big day! The couple opted for a subtle golden colour scheme throughout their wedding day, and incorporated it into details such as their stationery and decor. You can buy or hire sequin glitter table runners from Magpie Linens, and there are a whole range of beautiful colours to choose from.

Their dessert table looked truly fabulous – especially with the addition of S & D light up letters to really make the table stand out. A gilded vintage frame detailed the wedding cake and gourmet doughnut flavours. If you want something a little different, a doughnut tower is always a fab alternative to a traditional wedding cake.

The couple were lucky enough to have General Fiasco as their wedding band for the evening, which was just the perfect finish to an amazing wedding day.

Table Centrepieces

If you want to go all out with your extravagant gold theme, you’ll adore our Champagne Sequin Tablecloths that’ll literally make your tables glitter! For maximum impact, team with opulent candelabras and metallic-inspired vases as your centrepieces. I love the idea of vintage gold frames to use as table numbers or place settings – this is also a relatively budget-friendly idea too.

Décor

The style of venue will depend on how much you need to decorate your wedding. If your wedding venue is already extremely grand, you won’t need to do much in terms of décor. If you want to keep your gold wedding simple, accessories our Champagne Sequin Tablecloths with simple vases full of ivory roses. This style is seriously elegant but has a subtle touch of glamour. Why not match your floral centrepieces to your wedding bouquet? This will help to keep your aisle style looking co-ordinated with your reception theme.

Stationery

Simple white stationery with embossed gold calligraphy is the perfect addition to your tablecloths and will add decadence to your day. Your stationery will also give your wedding guests a subtle nod to your fabulous theme, from the very first save-the-date to your wedding breakfast menu.

Place Settings

Guide your guests to their places with gorgeous, glittering place names. Go all out with metallic plates, cutlery and golden goblets. Opt for slightly different shades to the Champagne Sequin Tablecloths to make sure both stand out. Gold napkins are also a must-have for this wedding theme! A simple ivory rose or a sprig of baby’s breath is enough to accessorise along each place setting.

We provide wedding hire so you don't have to break the bank! With tons of different fabrics and colours to choose from, you can find the perfect tablecloth to suit your theme.
