A wedding is a joyful, exciting event, preparation for which requires a lot of effort. Wedding preparations include thinking about seemingly insignificant little things - invitation cards, pillows for rings, a chest for money, wedding glasses that make the holiday truly solemn.
Wedding glasses are an important attribute of a special event, from which the newlyweds will drink champagne after registering their marriage.
In wedding salons you can see various ready-made versions of glasses, but if you want your wedding to be original, then you can show your imagination and create wedding glasses yourself.
Decorating wedding glasses does not take much time, and later they will become a real family heirloom.
We offer you several master classes on the original design of wedding glasses, following which you can easily decorate the dishes for the upcoming celebration.
What types of glasses are there?
A pair of wine glasses that are broken for good luck can be of a simple shape and without elaborate decorations. For guests on a walk, they use simple glasses from the mass market. The second pair, which is kept as a keepsake, is purchased with hand painting, flowers, ribbons, rhinestones, fancy patterns and swirls. Crystal glasses are purchased for the bride and groom.
Among the wedding paraphernalia, you can buy glasses from mass production or from an exclusive collection.
Craftsmen who manually decorate elegant champagne flutes offer several types of decor:
- Spot painting. A glass made using this technique looks elegant and elegant. They use products made from the finest glass. The surface is covered with fine powder. The pattern contains floral splashes that shimmer in the light.
- Decoration with crystals and Swarovski rhinestones. Glasses inlaid with stones will not go unnoticed by invited guests. They will become the main focus at the wedding banquet. Bright shine gives an ordinary wedding a unique chic and emphasizes the luxury of the special day.
Crystals and rhinestones of various colors are used for inlay. The shade of the decor should be combined with the main palette of wedding accessories.
- Polymer clay. Real story paintings are made from this material. Often a romantic or spring motif is used. Wedding glasses are decorated with bouquets of flowers. Volumetric decor looks stylish at modern weddings.
- Stained glass painting. Glasses made using this technique are among the original attributes. Nothing can highlight the beauty of wine glasses more than a translucent bright pattern. The thinnest glass transmits a scattering of multi-colored reflections, which every now and then “light up” from sunlight.
- Matting. An unusual design technique in which transparent glass is shrouded in white frost. They use a translucent and deep application technique. For added effect, use a glitter coating.
- "Crystal" gel. Wine glasses with a relief texture are considered one of the best of their kind. On their surface you can see flowers, the initials of the young people and various patterns.
Symbolism of wedding candles
In addition to the aesthetic satisfaction that candles provide, they carry a deep meaning. A family hearth made of wedding candles, decorated in a special way, is a symbol of fertility, parental blessing and the emerging spiritual fire of a new family.
There is another belief that says that a man should burn a candle at a wedding to show his beloved what kind of fire burns in his heart
In ancient times, it was the woman who was the keeper of the hearth , and brought fire from the cave of her parents. Therefore, the bride must light the candle.
Differences in glasses by material and shape
Manufacturers offer several types of glasses for newlyweds. They differ in color, bowl shape, material and stem shape. In wedding salons you can buy glasses for every taste:
- transparent and colored;
- round, elongated and curled;
- glass, crystal and metal.
- The stem of a wine glass can be straight or intricate in shape. They make glasses with stems in the shape of hearts, swans, angels, and couples in love.
Wine glasses in the form of the bride and groom
To put festive costumes on glasses, craftsmen must first create them. Several pieces of white and dark material are cut out for the man. If the glass itself is wrapped with white material, then only the stem is wrapped with dark material. Also, the usual accessories are made using black fabric: cufflinks, buttons, ties, bow ties, etc.
For a woman, you will need a lace skirt with a satin ribbon in the form of a corset. Complementing the outfit with decorative sparkles, the craftswoman receives a dress. They are then glued to the glasses.
Is decorating glasses for a wedding a waste of time?
It has long been a tradition for the bride and groom to drink from beautifully decorated wine glasses. But is it worth spending time on such delights if the life of these accessories is so short? And indeed, the glasses are destined to be broken literally in the first half hour of the ceremony. It is believed that glass flying into pieces should bring happiness to a young family. Beautifully done decoration of wedding glasses with your own hands is not a reason to abandon the ritual. Beat them to health! Just use a trick and prepare a couple of sets, perhaps even variously decorated, wine glasses. The surviving pair will make a great souvenir. You will appreciate the importance of accessories when celebrating your first wedding anniversary, and over the years, these handmade wedding glasses will become family heirlooms.
Ideally, you should make at least three sets of festive wine glasses. The first one will be used in the registry office, the second one can be taken with you to a photo shoot, and the third one will be waiting for the newlyweds on the formally served table.
If you are planning a small party, you can also decorate the guests’ wedding glasses. Naturally, the decor here will be simpler, but in this situation the attention shown must be assessed. Those present will be incredibly pleased to lift the decorated wine glasses with their souls.
But let's return to the paraphernalia for the bride and groom. For them, it is absolutely not necessary to take glasses of the same shape. A young wine glass may have a more rounded shape. For the groom, an elegantly formal glass, thin and tall, is suitable. But the decor of the couple should be kept in the same style. This will emphasize the harmony of the union.
Polymer clay - how to decorate a glass with small flowers
Purchased flowers are perfect for such creativity, but newlyweds who have a desire to highlight their creation and free time have the opportunity to personally create unique flowers. To do this you will need polymer clay and a little patience. How to do this?

- The remaining leaves are attached in a circle, while the ends of some can be bent, giving a more natural look.
To decorate a glass you will need at least 3 flowers. The resulting products can be combined with other materials. For example, rhinestones or beads. Lace and satin ribbons look especially delicate with them.
Tools and materials for work
It is better to purchase everything you need for creativity in advance, as well as prepare the surface for work. The following materials will be needed:

Tools you will need:
- Scissors;
- Glue gun.
Where to put glasses to give the interior a festive atmosphere
Decorators are faced with the task of not only how to decorate glasses beautifully, but also where to place them. Yes, they should draw attention to themselves, but at the same time not be the center of the entire holiday decor. The design of the room also contains other thematic attributes.
The design of the room also contains other thematic attributes.
As a rule, such decorated vessels are placed on the table, open shelves of cabinets, bedside tables. Having arranged candlesticks from them, it is necessary to arrange the elements so that the light emphasizes the entire interior or part of the table.
Step-by-step instructions for registration
Now let's look at the technical features of the design of glasses in various styles. There are quite a lot of interesting master classes on decorating them, but we will focus on the main points.
To begin with, you should follow a few important rules:
- Before starting work, be sure to thoroughly wash the wine glasses and wipe them with alcohol in order to degrease their surface;
- When decorating glasses, your hands must be clean, so keep wet wipes nearby;
- to fix decorative elements, you need to use glue, but each option has its own adhesive base: for example, fabric, feathers and lace are attached very well to PVA, it is advisable to glue bright sparkles, rhinestones and beads with compounds based on cyanoacrylate, and large beads are fixed using gun or liquid nails.
The instructions for decorating wine glasses with different finishing materials have their own nuances.
So, if you are draping a glass with fabric and lace, then simply wrap the glass in cloth and secure the edges with glue, preferably PVA.
If you plan to paint dishes with paints, then you should give preference to acrylic compositions. Stained glass translucent paints are also considered quite popular these days. They allow you to create a unique decor that has no equal in its aesthetic properties.
The choice of design depends entirely on the artist’s abilities and how well he can draw all the necessary openwork elements and elegant curls. After the design is applied, it should be coated on top with acrylic varnish - it is used as a fixative so that the image does not wash off under the influence of detergent and does not wear out over many years of storage.
When decorating glasses with painting, professionals advise additionally decorating the stem using spray paint. In this case, the bowl should first be covered with newsprint glued with tape. Otherwise, you risk staining the bowl with paint, which will negate all efforts to decorate the glasses.
When decorating glasses with artificial flowers, it is better to use organza products - it adheres better to the glass surface.
As a rule, individual petals are strung on the narrowed side of a wine glass and then glued together. If this is not done, they may simply fall in your hands. Additionally, the glasses are decorated with rhinestones and beads, which are glued with hot glue using a special gun.
The decor made from polymer clay looks exceptionally elegant. This is quite a delicate job, but every novice decorator can master this technique. To create a unique decoration you will need polymer clay itself, as well as glue, gloves for work, a toothpick and a board.
To begin with, the clay layer is rolled out and cut into small pieces, from which petals are subsequently formed. After this, the flower itself is collected, and then baked until hardened. The prepared figures are attached to the glasses using glue.
Another original technique is gilding. It is quite simple to make - the design here is applied with a special spray from a can, and you can decorate both the leg and the bowl. When you need to decorate only one area, you should cover the rest with paper. If you combine painted fragments with empty, unpainted ones, you can achieve an unusually beautiful effect. It is quite popular to apply gilding using stencils - first they are glued to the glass with plain water, and after the gold dust has been applied to the surface, they are removed, resulting in a rather interesting pattern.
Flowers and beads are a great option for a wedding celebration
Some craftswomen place the flower bouquet directly at the bottom of the glass, where the base connects to the stem. To make glasses for newlyweds in this style, follow these steps:
- Prepare materials and glasses;
- Think about the arrangement of flowers in advance and attach each detail of the composition with glue;
- Add beads or rhinestones;
- At the bottom, tie a satin ribbon of such a width that the resulting bow completely covers the base of the flowers.
Decoration options
Various techniques are used to decorate wine glasses for a special wedding with your own hands. This is decoupage, glass painting, decoration with elements made of polymer clay. Each technique has its own nuances. When choosing a suitable decoration method, you need to build on your own capabilities and the general idea of the celebration. Next, the most popular decoration technologies will be considered.
Glasses Bride and Groom
At modern weddings, we often see wine glasses decorated in the shape of the bride and groom. All kinds of designs allow you to integrate them into any style of celebration. Moreover, this technique is very simple.
To create an original wedding attribute, you will need:
- glue;
- satin ribbons;
- lace braid;
- white tulle;
- Swarovski crystals;
- pearl beads;
- black beads.
The bride's wine glass takes longer. The skirt is decorated with lace or tulle. Depending on the material chosen, you will get either an elegant dress or a lush one. A satin ribbon is fixed at the waist and above, serving as a bodice. Then rhinestones and pearl beads are added using glue. A veil made of tulle looks original.
The groom's glass is decorated with white and black satin, imitating a tailcoat and shirt. You can add a tie or bow tie to match your suit.
The classic version can be diversified with additional elements or a different color scheme.
Lace and beads
Lace is a delicate and elegant material that symbolizes purity and innocence. Wedding glasses decorated with openwork lace look light and solemn. The addition of pearl beads will look harmonious.
You will need the following materials:
- lace ribbon;
- glue gun;
- transparent glue;
- beads (optional).
Instructions:
- Wipe the surface of the glass with an alcohol wipe.
- Select the desired lace color and cut the desired length. Leave a couple of millimeters for allowance in advance.
- Glue to the glass.
- If you need to decorate the stem of a wine glass, the piece is gathered with thread and glued to the required place.
- Additionally, you can decorate with beads or rhinestones.
When decorating, the main thing is to observe moderation. It is better to choose no more than three types of material.
Feathers
Feathers add style and pomp to bridal glasses. This idea is suitable only for brave newlyweds. If you want creativity, then this is the most suitable option. Using bright colors will allow you to design the most unusual wedding.
To work you will need:
- feathers to match the overall color scheme;
- rhinestones;
- ribbons;
- glue.
Feathers are fixed on the wine glass with a spine. And the top part should be free. This will add airiness to the entire composition. The place of fixation is decorated with ribbons.
Rhinestones
The simplest option for decorating wedding attributes is using rhinestones. The sparkling stones shimmering on the glass surface look interesting, creating a festive atmosphere.
Small rhinestones look impressive, refracting rays with a large number of edges.
Rhinestones of the same color and size are chosen for a classic wedding. They are laid out in fancy patterns in the shape of the newlyweds’ initials, rings, doves, and hearts. A themed celebration involves a combination of bright colors and the use of stones of different sizes.
- To work, you should first degrease the surface of the glasses, and then arm yourself with a glue gun and a set of rhinestones.
- For convenience, masking tape is used to cover areas of the surface that, in theory, should not be decorated.
- It is recommended to attach a ready-made stencil inside the wine glass and glue it with shiny rhinestones on the top surface.
The process should start from the upper parts of the glass, moving down. As you work, you can carefully move the elements until the glue dries.
Even a simple star scattering of rhinestones looks festive, and you can make a more complex design after practicing on glasses.
Confetti glass decor
“It looks very creative to decorate glasses with your own hands in the form of painting with multi-colored bright polka dots, especially if gold and mother-of-pearl elements are used in the mix”
Do you want to please your guests with an unusual table setting? Decorate their glasses at your wedding too! Wine glasses with small polka dots can diversify the festive atmosphere, making it uncontrollably cheerful or more respectable. You can paint the dishes with acrylic paints, nail polish, or a glass painting marker.
Champagne glasses are degreased and painted in accordance with your vision of beauty. You can cover their surface with circles of the same size and color, or go from small to large scatterings, not forgetting to play with the distance between the elements. Circles can be formed into a pattern. You can make a simple design out of them or layer them on top of each other. Decorating glasses with your own hands in the form of painting with multi-colored bright polka dots looks very creative, especially if gold and mother-of-pearl elements are used in the mix.
If you don’t want to mess around with paints, you can cover the wine glasses with confetti using vinyl self-adhesive. A hole punch will help you cut identical, regular-shaped circles. This is the fastest and most economical way to decorate glasses for a wedding in large quantities.
Rose petals
The romance of petals is one of the universal design methods. Decorating glass products with fresh flowers is somewhat cumbersome, since the material costs are hardly recouped. A wedding celebration only takes place one evening in a couple’s life. It is important that they are fresh, without an unpleasant odor. Raspberry and scarlet shades of roses are the absolute leaders in the accessories market. Fuchsia is also rapidly becoming fashionable. However, many people prefer field daisies. They have their own symbolism, and the price is not at stake.
Modeling decor
A very exciting job that can become a hobby in the future. Do-it-yourself decorative elements for decorating glasses are made from polymer clay. At the modeling stage it will be possible to view a sketch of the future design. Don't be afraid to apply the composition to the glass and correct any imperfections. As soon as all the details are sculpted, they are baked.
Before attaching decorations to champagne glasses, arm yourself with a wide nail file, carefully align the bases of your leaf flowers and open them with a layer of varnish. Now they are ready to decorate the glasses for the wedding. To complete the picture, you can add stems with a marker or add beads and rhinestones.
Rustic style
Rustic wedding decoration involves the use of simple fabrics and unpretentious decor, bordering on rustic naivety.
The event implies the absence of expensive details and connection with nature.
Newlyweds can make their own decorative items from branches, pine cones, dried bouquets of flowers, twine, moss, bark, twine, and aged lace. Instead of glasses, you can use tall glasses wrapped in rope.
For decoration, choose a color palette that is close to the shade of the earth, grass, and trees. If the groom is making doves and hearts from straw and branches, then it’s time for the bride to start decorating the glasses:
- Degrease the glass surface with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol.
- Using a glue gun, attach turns of thin rope or twine to the stem of the wine glass.
- The upper part of the glass is decorated with a piece of burlap, and a strip of lace is glued on top.
- The lace is tied with a rope and tied with a bow.
- Attach homemade burlap flowers to the base of the leg.
The design of wedding paraphernalia depends only on the imagination of the newlyweds. It is advisable to decorate champagne and wine glasses in the same style.
Engraving
Only specialists are trusted to carry out engraving. The newlyweds can participate in drawing up the sketch and suggest text options for the design of the glasses. The engraving method differs depending on the thickness of the glass, and the complexity of the image is chosen based on the chosen ornament.
Thick glass will require a mechanical application method; to work with thin surfaces, laser engraving is chosen.
Mechanical application involves the manual work of a master, but the laser allows you to realize more ornate patterns that require maximum precision in application.
The workshop offers standard inscriptions and drawings, but it is better to think through the details yourself so that the wedding paraphernalia will delight you for many years to come:
- unusual inscriptions;
- placement of patterns on glasses;
- additional decorative elements;
- unique drawings;
- On the leg you can indicate the date of the wedding.
It is recommended to apply figurines of swans or doves, initials of spouses, monograms and floral patterns to the glass. The most famous glass engravings are wishes for happiness, love, a better future, and abundance.
Decoupage technique
“This decorative technique is often used when decorating wedding bottles with your own hands.”
A very unusual way to decorate glasses for a wedding. You need to prepare:
- rice paper (white);
- decoupage napkin with a themed pattern;
- pearl paint;
- glue;
- Polish for hair;
- two-centimeter wide masking tape;
- regular varnish.
We prepare the surface for decoration. Use masking tape to protect the edge of the bowl. We wrap the remaining part with rice paper so that it fits closely to the edge of the tape. The side ends of the paper are fixed with an overlap, with a wrap of no more than 0.5 cm. The excess wrapper is torn off.
The next stage of decorating wedding glasses with your own hands is fixing the paper to the surface of the glass. This is done as follows. The bowl is moistened with water and wrapped in paper. The paper will get wet and cover the glass evenly. All that remains is to fix it in this position by covering it with decoupage glue. It is applied with a flat brush. The base for decor is ready, and it is sent to dry.
This will be followed by colorful decoration of wedding glasses. We select the necessary fragments of the drawings and lay them out on a file or cling film. We treat the pictures with hairspray several times. This will promote better adhesion of the parts to the surface. Place the pictures one by one on the bowl of the wine glass and coat the top with glue.
At this stage of decorating wedding glasses with your own hands, you need to be especially careful. The pictures should not wrinkle or deform, so the glue should be applied from the center to the periphery and very short strokes should be made with a brush.
After all the elements are laid out and the glue has dried, the bowl of the wine glass is coated with glassy varnish and dried again. The glass is ready to use.
This decorative technique is often used to decorate wedding bottles with your own hands. Decoupage will make it possible to indicate the purpose of each of them. Don't understand what we're talking about? Whether wedding guests will drink from decorated bottles or not is a rhetorical question, but two beautifully decorated bottles must be on the newlyweds’ table. They will not be uncorked. This champagne has a different mission. The first bottle will be unsealed to celebrate the first wedding anniversary, and the second will wait until the birth of the first child. The theme of decorating wedding bottles with your own hands is intuitive. The one that is destined to be drunk on the occasion of a new addition to the family can be decorated, for example, with angels; the second one, it makes sense to veil it under fabric. Choose a small floral pattern to look like printed chintz.
Working with ribbons
Decorating wedding glasses with your own hands using ribbons is a springboard for unleashing your imagination. Both a modest bow and luxurious drapery can become a stylish decoration.
Usually, satin or silk ribbons are beautifully woven around the stems of wine glasses, but you can complicate your task and make flowers from ribbons. To make, for example, a rosebud, which, by the way, is also suitable for decorating wedding bottles with your own hands, you will need a large ribbon. It is folded in half, bending along the wrong side, and the joined edges are swept away. To form a bud, you need to pull the thread. You can put together a whole bouquet of these roses.
It is permissible to make the buds multi-colored. The compositions are fixed to the bowl of a wine glass. Decorating glasses for a wedding with ribbons is traditionally completed by decorating the latter with rhinestones and beads. They are used to embroider flower petals and make their cores. Thin, green ribbons or twisted thread can act as stems. To imitate drops of dew on flower petals, when decorating wedding glasses, they are decorated with small rhinestones.
The most effective bows are made from satin, gauze or silk ribbons.
With paints
In order to leave your own painting on glasses, you don’t need to study anywhere. A few practices before the wedding allow you to quickly master the meticulous craft. When performing work, you need to take care of the cleanliness of the glasses. Despite the wide choice, rich acrylic paints are the most popular. Before applying it to the surface of a glass product, the latter is degreased. Thanks to the careful preparation of the festive table attribute, the craftswoman draws exquisite designs with openwork elements. Subsequently, the product is coated with acrylic varnish.
Attention! Before applying varnish, you must wait until the patterns dry.
Stained glass translucent paints are also considered in demand. With their help, a unique decor is created, self-sufficient in its aesthetic properties. There is hardly any need to supplement the stained glass painting. In order for the symbolism of stained glass to please the owners for a long time, you need to use homemade glasses as little as possible. This is due to the fact that the image peels off easily. But with the use of multi-colored paints, it becomes possible to paint large-scale drawings.
Additionally, the legs are decorated with a spray can. Most of the glass is hidden behind newsprint, while the paint is sprayed in a matte hue over the delicate stem. It is convenient to use tape to secure it.
Other decor options
There are many other techniques for decorating wedding wine glasses. Among them are the following:
- Using twine and wooden forms.
- Stained glass paints.
- Decoration with foil and gold paint.
- Using kanzashi.
- Decoupage technique.
- Decorated with gold leaf, with contours and rhinestones.
The design of wedding paraphernalia depends on the taste of the newlyweds. You can show your imagination and create your own unique pair of glasses.
Composition of artificial and fresh flowers
Artificial flowers make it possible to create a long-lasting composition, which means that your own wedding wine glasses will remain unchanged throughout your life and remind the spouses of the most important and pleasant day.
An important advantage of this method is its great variety, since in the segment of artificial flowers the color palette has been expanded, so that newlyweds can choose the appropriate option for the theme of the celebration.
Typically, the composition consists not only of flowers, but also of elements such as ribbons, rhinestones, lace and beads. To work, you definitely need a glue gun and, if stones or rhinestones are used, cyanoacrylate glue.
Working with artificial flowers is simple and pleasant. It’s worth deciding on the color scheme in advance and roughly distributing the decorations on the glass before placing them on glue.
The actual workflow of decorating glasses for a wedding with your own hands will include the following steps:
- Preparing wine glasses (clean, degrease with alcohol, dry);
- Glue ribbon or lace. You can place them either on the stem of the glass or in the middle part, depending on personal preferences;
- Next, you should assemble the flower arrangement using glue. It is advisable to glue one flower at a time to visually add volume to the structure and carefully glue each component of the structure;
- The main part is ready and can be decorated with small beads, rhinestones or sparkles.
Applying a monogram
A monogram is not just the initials of the newlyweds, it is a kind of trademark, the coat of arms of the future family. As a monogram, you can use the first letters of the name of the bride and groom, the first letter of the future common surname, etc.
You can come up with a monogram yourself using special programs that, based on the letters you submit, will create several options for unique monograms.
There are several ways to apply a monogram to glasses.
- Stained glass paint – using a thin brush and special paint, draw a monogram on the glass;
- Glitter – the monogram is created using transparent glue and sprinkled with small glitter of the required shade;
- Rhinestones – rhinestones of various sizes, shapes and shades are used.
To create a monogram from rhinestones you need:
- Print the monogram on paper;
- Place the piece of paper with the monogram inside the glass;
- Glue the rhinestones to the glass according to the pattern
Decorating wedding glasses is a troublesome task, but it's worth it. The wedding glasses created by you with love and tenderness will be dear to you throughout your entire family life.
Bright, original wedding glasses will take pride of place in your family memorabilia collection and will come in handy at your anniversary wedding.
Feathers
Feathers are used to create pompous and stylish decorations. Glasses with such unusual decor lift your spirits better than the drink itself. Playful products are combined with all previous options. Since rainbow bows no longer surprise many people, brides prefer to design the design themselves. The feather accent invariably adds meaning to the entire composition, filling it with airiness and tenderness.
Advantages and disadvantages of handmade
You can choose wine glasses for newlyweds that are homemade or handmade. The last option is always unique. It is not necessary that it be completely custom-made, the decor is enough. The main requirement is that the decorations must be in harmony with the bride’s outfit and the theme of the celebration as a whole. Products differ in type of design:
- Machine painting. The method allows you to cover a glass with many multi-colored or plain splashes. This decor looks great if the bride’s dress is decorated with pearls or beads. This method allows you to cover the glass with many multi-colored or plain splashes.

Instead, metal and glass products look great. By engraving on wine glasses you can emboss not only the names of the newlyweds, but also the wedding vow.
Lace, stained glass paints, feathers, petals, ribbons and much more are suitable for wedding glasses and champagne. Experimenting in this field on a day like this is a risky business. Therefore, it is better to entrust the design to handmade masters.
However, before ordering or registering, you need to know that from season to season some types of decor become irrelevant. For example, glasses in the dresses of the bride and groom, which can be made of fabric, paper, clay or painted. A few years ago it looked advantageous, now it will look original, somewhere on the periphery.

The trend for names has also passed. The only thing that can save such a decision is to bring your own and play up the hackneyed decoration. However, the choice is up to the young, as well as their imagination and creativity of the masters.
Manufacturing materials
The most common materials for furniture roller shutters for closets are wood, plastic and metal.
Metal
Standard metal slats are in most cases made of aluminum. This metal has a number of advantages:
- resistant to corrosion and temperature changes;
- withstands many years of use, maintaining its original appearance;
- reliably protects against burglary;
- easy;
- has a natural silver color, although the product can also be painted;
- Suitable for different design styles.
Plastic
Plastic remains the most popular finishing material because... with its help you can realize many design ideas: imitate wood and other natural materials.
Plastic roller shutters will prevent moisture and dust from entering the closet.
For better sound insulation, they are filled with non-woven fabric.
Made of wood
Wooden shutters are the most expensive element. They are not stored ready-made and are only available to order. These roller shutters look stylish, but are suitable for use only in places where they will be reliably protected from moisture.
Primary colors
Standard colors are white, grey, brown, beige and silver. However, modern technologies make it possible to paint the finished product in any color.
A uniform coating is not necessary: designs are applied to the lamellas.
How to choose the right option?
When ordering decorations for wedding glasses, young people sometimes “get their eyes wide open” from the abundance of luxurious and stylish options. To make the right choice, you should take into account a number of basic recommendations.
The design of the wine glasses should be optimally integrated into the overall theme of the wedding celebration.
If you are holding an event in a rustic style, then the wine glasses can be draped with burlap. If the design is carried out in the traditions of vintage and shabby chic style, then you should give preference to lace, ribbons or cameo.
It is very important that the color scheme of the glasses is in harmony with the main shades that prevail in the decor of the room where the celebration is being held.
The color palettes must match; the use of contrasting shades is strictly prohibited.
For example, the orange decor of the wine glasses is unlikely to fit into a silver or lilac wedding, and gold in the dishes will look out of place with a silver shade of the room.
It is important that the glasses harmonize well with each other both in style and color.
They should be a single tandem, personifying lovers and emphasizing the main theme of the event.
Let's talk a little about glasses. Their shape should be quite beautiful and comfortable, since the young spouses will have to hold them in their hands for quite a long time.
Traditionally, wine glasses with an elongated thin stem are used, although you can choose some other options.
For example, paired wine glasses on one common stem are quite popular - they, in fact, represent a rather attractive stand with a pair of recesses into which glasses are inserted. If desired, you can give preference to hexagon-shaped glasses, concave glasses and other original products.
Fabric and lace
Delicate lace is used to highlight the elegant shape of the glass glasses. Openwork material is distinguished by its beauty and accessibility. No special abilities are required here. You just need to wrap the glass in a beautiful material. The skirt looks elegant if you make folds using an adhesive binder. It is recommended to complement the resulting image with satin or silk bows.
Attention! It is important to choose lush lace that can retain its shape for a long time.
The stem of the glass can be decorated with a spiral ribbon with an artificial flower. The latter will need to be secured with glue. The use of rhinestones, beads or pearls on the turquoise leaves of the flower will be remembered by all guests for a long time.
Before choosing lace materials, it is recommended to decide on the style of the event. If we are talking about a classic wedding, then it is enough to decorate snow-white lace with decorative thread. If a couple wants an ultra-fashionable bohemian style, then it can be easily achieved with the help of colored materials. The decoration of wedding glasses in scarlet color is considered popular.

- In order for the result to look neat, without pieces and threads of dried glue being visible, it is better to choose a special glue for glass and ceramics. It is distinguished by the fact that it hardens in a matter of seconds and has an absolutely transparent color. Silicone can be an excellent analogue of such a material.
- Many craftsmen prefer to use cyanoacrylate glue to attach the decor. It fixes beads, rhinestones and other small elements especially quickly. Its main advantage is that it is not afraid of moisture. You can really find it in any store selling construction supplies.
- PVA is often mentioned in master classes. It is well suited for decoupage and decoration with textile materials. It also leaves almost no residue. If inaccuracies do appear, they can be eliminated with alcohol or warm water.
- Before you start decorating wedding wine glasses, you should try out the chosen technique on any unnecessary dishes.
- Glasses should always be washed and dried well before use. Any remaining dirt or fingerprints can lead to the decor simply falling off at the most inopportune moment.

- Glass decorations can be purchased much cheaper at office supply stores or sewing supply stores.
