Trending Now: Mirrored Wedding Décor

We're not saying that flowers and foliage aren't great wedding decorations, but we are saying that there's a new heavy hitter in the world of big-day décor. The latest wedding trend we're loving? Mirrored decorations. Go beyond the classic details and incorporate reflective surfaces throughout your celebration. While hanging mirrors are beautiful, they're not the only way to bring this trend into your ceremony and reception. Other reflective details—like signage, ceremony décor, and the tables you'll sit at for dinner—are all fair game (not to mention, incredibly chic).

Indoors or out, vertical or horizontal, mirrored décor creates visual interest in a venue and brings a bit of dimension to any space. Plus, they bounce light around unlike any other material. At this wedding, White Lilac Inc. more than quadrupled the effect of the glowing candlelight by arranging pillars in front of different heights of mirrored pedestals. They're good for more than just reflecting light, though. Here, the mirrored surfaces also provided additional vantage points during the ceremony, which ensured guests could see the details of the bride's dress and even the reactions on the faces of the loved ones in the first few rows.

If you like this idea, you'll be delighted to know there's plenty more where it came from. Click through here to check out a range of mirrored ideas. As it turns out, there are so many ways to use mirrors on your big day—from the moment guests enter the ceremony space straight through to the dance party that'll last until the wee hours of the night.

If your venue has existing mirrors on its walls or behind its bar, use them to their full potential. Tap your stationer or a graphic designer (Alonzo Felix did this set) to create a fun saying, showcase your logo, or even spotlight your hashtag by printing vinyl decals and applying them with ease. Shutterfly printed these gold-accented letters, which peeled right off at the end of the night.

A wooden dance floor is all well and good, but an antiqued mirrored option is something no guest will ever forget. At this wedding under the stars, Simply Troy worked with Holo-Walls to keep everyone dancing—and dazzled.

This cool mirror permanently hangs at The Ruby Street in Los Angeles, so if you're getting hitched in California, you've got a built-in backdrop for your cake or guest book table. But if you're tying the knot elsewhere, you can rent something just as statement-making.

A mirrored piece of furniture like this serves a few purposes: a place for cards (they can get tucked into one of the drawers), a surface for programs or just some colorful décor, and for guests to take a quick look at themselves upon arrival.

If dinner will be a family-style feast, why not outline it on a menu your guests can share? Ask your calligrapher (or a friend with neat handwriting) to pen what will be passed on an antique mirror.

Escort cards displayed in vintage springs were arranged by Calder Clark on a table topped with a round, aged mirror that reflected the large floral arrangement in the center of it.
