The pearl theme can add a lustrous sheen to the wedding decor.
A pearl wedding theme can begin with the bride's jewelry and extend to the wedding decor for a classic look. The pearl's lustrous sheen can enhance a church's pew markers or the reception hall's cake table. Pearl photo frames or a wedding album with a pearl white cover can showcase favorite photographs of this traditional theme.
Jewelry and Accessories
Pearl brooches or bracelets for the bride's attendants can complement the traditional pearl necklace worn by the bride. Corsages for the mothers can include pearl accented ribbons. Handkerchiefs and tie clips for the ushers or groomsmen can have a pearly sheen. Pearls can also adorn hair accessories, such as a barrette for the flower girl who carries a basket with a pearl handle.
Wedding Venue
Guests can sign the guest book with a pen set that follows this theme. Short strings of pearls can hang from floral or tulle pew markers that designate reserved seating. If the ceremony includes candles, strands of pearlescent beads near the base of each candle will enhance the glow.
Reception Decor
A shining rope light and lengths of soft tulle can decorate the head table or the cake table. A cake topper can give a lustrous shine. Bows with a pearl center can decorate the knife and server set. Napkin rings and stemware ribbons can also echo this theme. Beads can fill clear vases approximately one-third of the height. Each guest's name can take part in the pearl theme in the form a place card with a pearl illustration. Another option can include setting the place card in a seashell. For music, guests can listen to "String of Pearls" composed by Eddie De Lange and Jerry Gray and recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1942.
Menu
The reception menu can extend the theme with pearl onions and pearl barley salad. Even the paper for the menu can have a pearly sheen with a rich, gorgeous feel to the fingertips. The wedding cake can include small, pearl-like edible decorations. Treats for children over the age of four years can include pearl candy in reusable organza bags trimmed with pearl ribbons.
Memories
Miniature photo frames with a pearly white frame finish can go home with each guest. Little boxes of sliced wedding cake can have a gift wrapped finish with a pearl-lined ribbon. The theme can continue with the wedding album with a gorgeous pearl finish cover. The album can include close-up shots of the bride's jewelry, table decorations and wedding cake to echo this traditional theme. A mother-of-pearl frame can showcase a cherished photograph. The couple can write their "thank you" cards on stationery with a seashell illustration.
