Diamonds have been a symbol of engagement and marriage for many decades already. Diamonds are also glamorous, luxurious and elegant. So it should come as no surprise that a diamond theme makes for a very luxurious, elegant wedding theme.

Of course, using real diamonds in your decor would take a budget most of us can only dream of – but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the look on a decent budget.

  • Instead of real diamonds, look for rhinestones, crystals, glass, etc.
  • Choose plenty of white and silver accents to really bring out the sparkle as well.
  • Crystal chandeliers are another great way to pump up the sparkle. If your venue doesn’t have them, many decor rental places now offer them as a rental option as well.
  • Mirrors are another great way to up the sparkle as they will reflect both your sparkling “diamonds” and the light around the room.
  • Silver and white glitter are also great, affordable ways to add sparkle to your decor. They can be used on your centerpieces, bouquets, etc.

Take a look at these diamond inspirations I found online this week.

    thanks for the great tips. I had no idea about the mirrors enhancing the light and sparkle in the room, I like the sound of that. I recently bought an amazing diamond ring on http://www.idonowidont.com/newsite.php so maybe when I propose to my fiance I should be in a room with mirrors so everything is more sparkly!
