A Golden Guest Book Table

There's nothing more romantic than building your big day around colors that celebrate your future. Each of these precious metals represents a milestone wedding anniversary: copper for seven years, silver for 25, and gold for 50.

This easy yet elegant idea transforms an often overlooked spot into a glowing focal point. For a gold-leaf effect, affix candy wrappers with silver backing to the outsides of glass hurricanes using spray adhesive, then pop in pillar candles. You'll need: Sugarcraft foil wrappers in two sizes. Jamali Garden Supplies glass cylinders and candles. Krylon spray adhesive Amazon.com.

A Shimmering Bridal Bouquet

If these pretty petals appear too good to be true, take a closer look. Mother Nature provided the chrysanthemums, carnations, button mums, English daisies, and dusty miller. We added the faux finish by spritzing some blooms with gold and silver floral paint, and dipping others into metallic glitter.

Graphic Escort Cards

Create this slick display by affixing vinyl Helvetica number stickers to calligraphed ivory escort cards, and add a strip of metallic tape to the sides, top, or both. Secure the cards (in alphabetical order) to a piece of heavyweight silver-colored poster board with tape set on the diagonal. For an artistic touch, tuck the corners of some cards into the board (use a craft knife to create slits). Display the sign during the cocktail hour; cards slide out easily so guests can take them along. You'll need: Chartpak 1-inch vinyl numbers, duall.com. Crane & Co. escort cards, V841301A. Nasco metallic Mylar craft tape pack. ArtEmboss copper foil tape, robertscrafts.com. Canford card stock in metallic silver, NY Central Art Supply, 800-950-6111.
