Acrylic and Lucite materials are becoming more and more popular in home décor, so it's no wonder weddings are also taking this trend into account! Incorporating the translucent details are a great way to stay on-trend, while also focusing more attention on your wedding flowers, tablescapes, or the beauty of your venue.

Start off your wedding celebration with clear invitations and follow through with acrylic escort cards, or display wedding flowers on translucent risers at your ceremony. Surround flickering candles with acrylic boxes on your reception tables, and top your cake with a clear topper emblazoned with a monogram that will appear as though it's floating above the confection.

Whether you and your future spouse can't decide on a color scheme for your invitations or you'll be having translucent details throughout your big day, starting your nuptials off on a blank slate with an acrylic invitation showcasing white lettering is a wonderful way to set the bar with a stylish invite that feels more like a keepsake than simply a piece of paper. Photo by Style & Story Creative

2. Fashion Accessories

Since most of the items you'll be carrying in your bridal clutch will be pretty, consider toting around an on-trend translucent clutch on the big day. For a stylish option that also hides the items contained in your purse, look for an acrylic design embellished with fabric flower petals or your monogram. Photo by Heather Waraksa

3. Ceremony Décor
