Good morning, you gorgeous lot! And happy Friday to you!! As we speak I’m on my merry way to this years Shambala Festival for a weekend of magical, bohemian and entirely vegetarian fun (say whaaaaat!?), but I couldn’t resist sharing this super chic, up and coming wedding trend with you before the week was out!  What am I talking about?

All. Things. Sheer.

Yup, that’s right! If you can see through it, as far as 2017’s concerned, it needs to feature in your wedding decor! We’re talking perspex place setting elements, acrylic ‘ghost’ seating for a luxe ceremony or reception vibe, window pane table plans, glass light bulb escort cards… Like I said, if it’s clear, we want it!

So without any further a-do (we have a WEALTH of pictures to share with you today!) we better get into it!

Probably the most popular use of of perspex in the wedding world right now centres around the place setting. This gorgeous DIY tutorial by Nouba blog kicked off our transparent obsession earlier in the year, it’s been growing ever since and is showing no signs of ceasing!

Think cute party tag-lines, your reception menu or even guest place names penned in beautifully modern calligraphy in white or gold onto a clean cut sheet of perspex, ready to layer with whatever crockery/foliage/napkin arrangement you desire!

This trend is so flexible (I mean, it’s clear, so it’ll pretty much go with any colour scheme, right?!) and the addition of of this glossy texture gives a very luxurious layered look to your place settings.

Gorgeous, aren’t they?! And it just works for every theme! We love the idea of layering the perspex sheet with foliage behind, such a gorgeous fusion of artificial and natural elements.

Of course, the styling geniuses of the wedding world are taking this trend and reimagining it time and again to bring you every imaginable (and ridiculously gorgeous) possibility… Enter the acrylic/glass charger plate.

We’re in see-through heaven! If there’s such a thing (?!)

Again, note the clever layering of textures: acrylic chargers over lace table runners, glass saucers atop green fern leaves, it’s almost as if the sheer layer enhances the texture beneath it. Just beautiful!

A lesser known, but astoundingly gorgeous interpretation of the acrylic trend for 2017 weddings is the ‘Ghost Chair’. Again, you’ll see how stunning this seating option can prove across all different types of settings; indoors, outdoors, for a ceremony or at a reception table… Acrylic really is a shapeshifting trend!

It’s also totally worth noting that Ghost Chairs look at their most awesome in multitudes; a sea of sheer seats. They’re so subtle and unobtrusive, yet at the same time striking and original in their own right!

…Can you tell we’re sold already?!

They’re just the most striking addition to any setting, allowing your venue to literally shine right on through without interruption.

If this isn’t signage goals, really, I don’t know what is!

I’m gonna go ahead and predict that as far as signage goes, acrylic may just be the new black board.

Boom. There, I said it!

It’s a lighter, brighter, more subtle option. It can be leant (without covering any other details), it can be hung… So many possibilities and just one day to fit them all into! #weddingplannerproblems

So whether it’s a ceremony welcome sign, your favourite love quote, a cocktail menu, a schedule of the day, or even your vows… Be sure to opt for an elegant acrylic sign.
