Alt Glam Rings

A striking cocktail ring with 32 round brilliant melees framing the round brilliant centre stone is the unrivalled modern twist on a vintage ring. If you have a love for sustainability, the Eugenie ring from Ethica Diamonds is for you! Ethica diamonds ensure that all the materials for their jewellery are sourced responsibly and sustainably and come from sites that protect the health and safety of both their workers and the environment. 

Alt Glam Florals 

Flowers by Kirsty

This foliage bouquet is the perfect alt glam moment! Roses and pampas grass are the perfect florals and foliage for this theme. This bouquet is the perfect spring/summer collection. However, if you are celebrating this big day in the autumn or winter months, swap out the peach and pink roses for deep reds to have the same effect!

Sonning Flowers

This beautiful bouquet design by Sonning Flowers is also perfect for your alt glam wedding. A large amount of dark foliage is what you should look for when picking out your bouquet. Additionally, partnering wildflowers with a more structured flower, such as a rose, is the perfect way to make a bouquet look unstructured while still providing glamour.  

So Blooming Beautiful

Eccentric and glamorous, this design by So Blooming Beautiful really embodies the alt glam theme. Deep reds combined with golds and whites adds a sumptuous feel to florals. Whether this is used as centrepiece designs or just general decor, there is no denying that this design is perfect for your big day!
