Concrete might not seem like the prettiest, or indeed most likely, wedding trend but wedding decor is often inspired by trends in interiors. So just as copper, terrariums, and marquee lights have all had their moment in weddings, concrete wedding details have never been cooler. And we're all about it! Whether you're planning minimal, unfussy decor, want your wedding style to be a little less feminine, or you have an urban or industrial venue and need the details to match, concrete is a stylish, modern and versatile option for candle holders or vases - we've even seen a breeze block cake stand!

Love the idea of adding a little cement wedding decor to your day, we've gathered some ideas for doing it in style...

Tips for Styling with Concrete Wedding Decor

Try DIY - Concrete is so affordable and easy to DIY, and there are lots of handy tutorials out there for making your own cement planters and candleholders, here's a few of our faves from Once Wed, Apartment Therapy, and Pure Sweet Joy.
Look to Etsy and independent makers - there are all sorts creative makers offering cool concrete pieces at the moment, so talk to them about what you have in mind and they should be able to come up with something tailored to your needs.
Mix in metallics - cement looks great with copper or gold, and it will give your stark concrete decor a little hint of luxury.
Add lots of texture - Lush foliage, fluffy flowers, or eclectic textiles, mix your concrete wedding decor with different textures to soften the look - we love grey cement with more neutral hues, but it looks great with bright colours too!
Think about your space - If you have your heart set on cement decor, you probably shouldn't get married in an old country house full of antiques. A studio space or warehouse wedding venue is the perfect backdrop for industrial details.
Concrete wedding cake - If you love the idea of a hint of concrete in your day, a cement-effect wedding cake is a great way to feature the trend, and guess what, we've made a whole list of them!
