Acrylic and Lucite materials are becoming more and more popular in fashion and home décor, so it's no wonder weddings are also taking this trend into account! Incorporating translucent details are a great way to stay on-trend, while also focusing more attention on your wedding flowers, tablescapes, or the beauty of your venue's landscape.

Start off your wedding celebration with clear invitations and follow through with acrylic escort cards, or display wedding flowers on translucent risers at your ceremony. Surround flickering candles with acrylic boxes on your reception tables for a romantic glow, and top your cake with a clear topper emblazoned with your monogram that will appear as though it's floating above the confection.

For more ideas, we've gathered 13 ways to use Lucite or acrylic details on your wedding day, below, all from real celebrations! For more inspiration from these real weddings, click on the link below each photo for further inspiration!

Whether you and your future spouse can't decide on a color scheme for your invitations or you'll be having translucent details throughout your big day, starting your nuptials off on a blank slate with an acrylic invitation showcasing white lettering is a wonderful way to set the bar with a stylish invite that feels more like a keepsake than simply a piece of paper. Photo by Style & Story Creative; From Real Wedding: Catholic Ceremony & Romantic, Modern Outdoor Wedding Reception
