Consider This: Flash Tattoos

Bling it on.

[Your wedding day] is not the day to pile on the costume jewelry or otherwise bling out. On your fingers, wear only your wedding and engagement rings. The sparkle from a delicate pair of earrings or an understated hair ornament brings the attention to your lovely face.

Meg sent me this quote yesterday, and I had to resist doing a rage roundup of all the bling you should wear on your wedding day, if you feel like it. Because it’s your goddamn wedding. (As an aside: please don’t ever call it “my lovely face.” Condescension gives me wrinkles.)

But instead of a full roundup, I figured I’d suggest something totally crazy, like Flash Tattoos. Flash Tattoos are temporary tattoos that look like they are made of metal, to meet all of your jewelry needs without the actual bling. If they look familiar, it might be because you follow Beyoncé on Instagram. Some of the designs are a little too festival-chic for my liking (I’m not sure when hibiscus flowers became cool again?), but I think they would make for a really interesting, really SHINY, low-maintenance statement piece in your wedding outfit (plus you get the bonus of not having your bracelets knocking into everything you try to touch). Meg already ordered a sheet of the Lena. Clearly they know their audience there.

I mean, can you just imagine what Beyoncé would say if told not to bling out, so as to keep the bring the attention to her “lovely face?” Yeah, channel that.
