Weddings are formal and elegant events in one's life, and therefore must be treated so by tastefully choosing decorations. For an ultimately classy look, use glass where it will best be viewed and have the best chance of being in your wedding photographs.

One seemingly obvious place to start would be with the dinnerware at your wedding reception. In order to achieve a sparkly, romantic look, place lit candles in the centers of the tables. The dancing flames will reflect off of the elegant glass. Every guest's place at the table will glitter with warmth. This idea works especially well with fall and winter weddings.

Another way to use glass at your wedding is to use frosted glass candle holders. Around the holidays, it is easier to find frosted glass candle holders. Often they will have patterns of snowflakes or snowmen on them, and will provide an intimate setting at your reception.

Perhaps you want to take a dynamic route and add water as an element in your wedding ideas. An intricately designed glass punch bowl complete with floating candles is yet another way to incorporate glass. The light of the candles will become distorted through the design of the bowl, and give off specks of candle light. Plain glass bowls may be used as well, as simplicity is always an option for elegance.

Floats are glass ball with a flat bottom that can top off wine glasses, vases, or bowls. Floats come in many different colors and patterns and add that special feeling of artistic flair to your big day. Use day or night, any time of the year.

Hanging glass balls provide a spectacular ornamental affect to your wedding. Think of them as classier versions of hanging lights, as each light is encased in a round glass bulb. The bulbs are strung together and come in many colors and effects such as swirled, spotted, mixed, transparent, and solid. Hanging glass balls are absolutely perfect for any wedding.

If you are looking for a very simple and economical solution for using glass in your wedding, you can always opt for glass vases. Glass vases are relatively inexpensive, and can also be used for wedding favors. Set them on your wedding reception tables and fill with bouquets of your choice flowers for a beautiful arrangement.
