With the right (light) touch, subtle metallics and a few sparkly flashes can transform invitations, place settings, and even flowers from understated details to sublime showpieces. Here are some new ways to make the details of your big-day truly shine.

Let guests know it's going to be a gilded evening with Smitten on Paper's foil table numbers ($48 for 12; smittenonpaper.com).

Bouquet with Metallic Accents

bouquet-mwd109235.jpg

Go ahead, gild the lily -- or in this case, the camellia and magnolia leaves. We brushed the tips with sizing glue (available at crafts stores) and applied sheets of gold leaf. These varieties last a few days, so you (or your florist) can bedeck them before the rest of your bouquet arrives.

Foil Stationery Suite

stationery-mwd109235.jpg

In this shiny suite by Spark Letterpress, luminous print electrifies matte white card stock. The effect, achieved by stamping foil into the paper with custom die-cut plates, is elegant and unexpected. Save money by DIY-lining the envelopes with a roll of inexpensive foil paper.

Gold Confetti Cake

Credit: Laurie Frankel

Nothing says "celebrate" quite like confetti. Baker Mark Joseph, of Mark Joseph Cakes in New York City, cut out fondant squares, painted the edges with metallic food dust, and attached them to the dessert's tiers with royal icing. As for the razzle-dazzle backdrop, just take two pieces of origami paper, dab glue on both, and then press together with a length of monofilament sandwiched between.
