Many trends come and go, but the popularity of using metallics in weddings is one trend that is here to stay. The shimmer of gold and silver is the perfect embellishment to any celebration, no matter how it is used. Bold and confident or as a subtle touch, metallics will make your day more special. And the wedding designers at Schaff Floral have the expertise you can trust to create your dream wedding ambiance, with florals and accents that shimmer and shine.

You can set the elegant mood right from the start with gold or silver embossed invitations, and the look can carry through to table numbers, menu cards or name cards, Shimmering tablecloths add an overall sense of luxury, and gold or silver plated chargers, goblets or silverware are a traditionally sophisticated way to set the table. Don’t be afraid of mixing metals, as the practice is coming back into vogue this season, inspired by mixed metal wedding rings.

We love designing spectacular and unique centerpiece displays. Metallic accents can be especially innovative in this regard – florals can look rustic when arranged in a metal pitcher, romantic when spilling out of an antique birdcage, or stylish when designed atop a silver candelabra. Although virtually any flower looks stunning against a metallic background, gold offsets reds,  yellows, and creams especially well, and blue and purple arrangements create a striking aesthetic against polished silver.  Because of their ability to reflect flickering light, metallic accents look especially beautiful under low illumination, such as candlelight or Edison lights.  Metallic votive holders and lanterns add a particularly romantic ambiance to your wedding day.

But these are only a few ideas to inspire you – look online for inspiration photos and bring your vision into Schaaf Floral. If you are getting married anywhere in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area, we would love to help you create gorgeous bridal bouquets, ceremony flowers, centerpieces and venue decor.
