In addition to flowers, gemstones and jewels are some of the world’s most saturated, colorful, elements. Choosing nature as your inspiration is a foolproof way to create a beautiful color palette for your wedding. Here, I chose to use jewels as the starting point for a moody, romantic wedding aesthetic. The majority of the natural colors that exist in jewels are very clean, saturated, pure colors. From the dark bright red of a garnet to the pop of blue in a sapphire, the natural hues lend themselves to a black tie wedding.

You can easily make this jewel toned look come alive with decor. Here are my top ten items to use in your ceremony and reception to execute the romantic, saturated color look of natural jewels.

1.
Brightly Colored Gem Idea

Use these Faceted Gem Shapes for your escort card display. Fill a big tray with a ton of these gemstones and then place the escort cards in the gemstones.
