Wedding glasses: a decoration for memory

What is impossible without a wedding? It is clear that without the groom and the bride. And what is needed from traditional attributes? Of course, wedding glasses! Decoration on them can be so delicious that they can be equated to a real work of art.

The tradition of decorating glasses for a wedding appeared first in the West. It was there that they came up with such an original addition to the wedding entourage. Later, "hand made" glasses appeared in our country. Now the original dishes for the wedding can be ordered from private craftsmen or at the factory, as well as done by yourself. Wedding glasses, the decoration of which is made independently, is a perfect reminder of the solemn ceremony.

How and how can I decorate the dishes? There are many improvised materials. For example, paints, ribbons, flowers, sequins, paper. All you need is to make imagination and patience. The creation of beautiful and original jewelry requires diligence, attention and skillful hands. Decorating wedding glasses with flowers can have several options.

• Natural flowers.
• Artificial flowers.
• Painted flowers.

The latter requires certain skills in drawing and a visual example before your eyes. In addition, special paints are required. Acrylic fit perfectly. Brushes will also need special - very thin and soft. Acrylic colors do not need to be diluted with water, otherwise they will be difficult to apply to a smooth glass. It is best to use directly a thick paint from the tube. First, the flower itself is drawn, then small elements and edging. Wedding glasses, decorated with paint, require a protective layer for the picture. It can be both a glossy varnish and a simple hair varnish, which is in every house. A mandatory condition - a protective coating is applied only after all the paint has dried.

The decoration of wedding glasses and bottles can be performed in a unified style, and may be radically different. So, glasses for the groom and the bride can be different from everyone else at the celebration. The neck of bottles can be decorated with napkin ties. Color or white - at your discretion. The napkin unfolds, then twists from any angle to the opposite (diagonal) narrow strip. This strip of tie is tied around the neck of the bottle. This is the simplest and most common option. In addition, you can tie a neat and beautiful bow from a bright or delicate ribbon. So you can decorate and glasses of honeymooners for champagne.

Wedding glasses can be painted not only with flowers, but also with other elements. Hearts, ribbons, stripes, dots, inscriptions with wishes, names of newlyweds. In addition, if the wedding is themed, then the decoration can be on the theme of the celebration. There are no special rules. In stores usually offer a pair of glasses for the newlyweds. Blue - for the groom, pink - for the bride. These wedding glasses, decorated in industrial production, are not always refined and refined. But the work of artisan crafts most often cause genuine delight. What to choose is a matter of taste. You can experiment and decorate the glasses yourself. Perhaps, they will like most of all.
