These chandelier Bridal Shower Invitations have been popular designs at Cardstore.com lately, and I see why. I love the elegance, glamour, and femininity of these two cards, and love how the silhouette looks on stationery (Left is by Natalie Eden at Cardstore.com and Right is by Papeterie at Cardstore.com).
This moving annoucement by Bonnie Marcus Collection also makes use of the elegant chandelier.
However, I’ve also been trying to think of other ways to integrate the stunning beauty of chandeliers without paying the price that most beautiful chandeliers necessitate. While the lucky few find the perfect chandelier to renovate at garage sales or thrift stores, for most of us that won’t be an option–especially in light of chandeliers’ ever-growing popularity.
I stumbled upon these cute Etsy wall stickers that incorporate the same sihouette concept as some of our cards, and I think that in the right room (where most of the furniture and decor was kept simple and subtle), they could serve as a nice focal point.

If decals aren’t really your thing, I also found a couple of really beautiful DIY options. They may not be your typical chandeliers, but they still capture that same elegance that I’m shooting for. As soon as I find some free time, I’m definitely going to try out the tree branch one–rustic and elegant, a rare, but winning combo!

I would also love find some DIY guides for more traditional looking chandeliers. Let me know if you find any, and I’ll be sure to post it (and send you my gratitude!).
