When it comes to creating a glamorous celebration, few hues offer more instant opulence and elegance than gold — weaving in gold decor elevates every event. From embossed invitations and gleaming dance floors to golden cakes and sparkling linens, here are our favorite ways to use gold party decorations to create a soirée that shines.

Finding new and interesting ways to incorporate luxe gold into your event is tricky, and Marie Nicole Weddings does just that at this spring wedding.

And check out the sequined draping at the reception — wow!
