Acrylic: A Modern Medium

Acrylic is an ultra modern medium. If you are searching for ways to create an ultra modern design through your décor and details, here are some clever ideas for using acrylic as your main medium!

Invitations

Your actual wedding invitation can be composed of a thick piece of clear or colored acrylic. Each invitation can then be laser engraved directly into the acrylic with your wording or designs. The finished product can be mailed in an envelope or box.

Place cards

For your place cards, try using clear acrylic cube frames. Pop the guest name in section one and the table assignment in section two. Fill the other sections with patterned paper, a menu card, or a thank you message.

Table Numbers

Have each table number molded out of acrylic as a self-standing number. You can order acrylic numbers in clear or almost any color under the sun.

Ceiling Décor

Hang colored acrylic panels in different sizes from the ceiling of your reception site to create a unique modern mosaic effect. You can even have some of the panels engraved with words, a monogram, or graphics.

Lounge Area

Creating a lounge area in a portion of your reception site is a cool concept–why not have the entire lounge area out of acrylic chairs and tables? Perhaps you could even incorporate a full acrylic bar area with an ice sculpture.
