If you've been to a wedding lately, it's possible that you've already spotted one of the latest wedding trends, mercury glass, and it doesn't seem likely that this trend is going anywhere anytime soon.
This beautiful glass comes in a variety of tones such as silver and copper, and you'll see it on items such as mirrors, votives and vases. How can you tie mercury glass into your wedding theme? Rustic A mercury vase can hold little collections of baby's breath or wildflowers. Place your vase on slab of wood and surround it with tea light candles for a beautiful glow that will reflect off of the mercury glass surfaces. The mercury glass aesthetically pairs well with a dark wood. Glamorous Mercury votives can add an elegant touch to your centerpieces and on your tables. You can also find mercury glass pillar candle holders which can add dramatic height to your tablescape and still incorporate the trend subtly.
