Sparkly Wedding Dresses

From beading and sequins to eye-catching glitter, there are several types of glimmering embellishments to make your bridal look undeniably sparkly. Crafted in various shapes and sizes, beading can be defined by pieces of glass or plastic that reflect the light. Similarly, sequins are small metallic discs sewn into fabric. They’re usually made from metal or plastic providing texture and a reflective appearance. The most common shimmering embellishment is glitter which are tiny pieces or shavings of reflective material that adorn an entire fabric.
