Marble is certainly having a moment in home décor, so it's no surprise that couples are also interested in incorporating the stone – whether real or faux – into their wedding day. Since the subtle pattern features calming white and grey hues, it's neutral enough to not overtake the rest of the décor and fits with a variety of themes, color palettes, and design styles. Some couples are also taking the trend one step further and marbling various hues in their desired color scheme – rather than the classic black and white.
The rise of residential-inspired weddings has inspired many to use marble plates throughout the dinner service or keep marble tables free of linens at the reception – much like they would at their own homes. If you want to incorporate marble in other ways, there are a number of options at your disposal. Use a marble pattern in your invitation design, create escort cards or table numbers out of geometric marble pieces emblazoned with calligraphy, or decorate your wedding cake and desserts with a marbled design.
For these ideas and more, take a look at 12 ways to incorporate marble elements into your wedding day, below. To see more from each of these celebrations, click on your favorite photos!
