20 Ways to Rock Your Wedding Using Geodes, Crystals, and Stones

Stop reserving rocks and gems for your ring finger and start incorporating them into your décor. Jewels and the like are absolutely gorgeous, so why not sprinkle them throughout your special day? The wedding world has a thing for organic accents, and the love affair goes beyond flowers and greenery. Crystals and stones make beautiful decorations, and blend right in with other natural add-ins. Saturated jewel and gem tones contribute to show-stopping colorscapes, as do metallics and earthy neutrals. Plus, rocks and stones are totally versatile—use them as favors, centerpieces, and more.

From incuding dazzling half geodes and vibrant agate slices to decorating with rustic rocks and majestic slabs of marble, the possibilities are endless and entirely up to you.
