We know that you’re dying to add some color and pizzazz to your wedding, and rainbow details are the perfect way to do that! Whether you go all out for a completely rainbow wedding dress or throw in some subtlety with rainbow accessories and decor, all that color will add some serious sparkle to your LGBTQ+ wedding. Here are a few queer rainbow wedding details you absolutely need:
Rainbow geode wedding cake

Rainbow cakes are seriously gorgeous. The only problem is that it’s so hard to take a slice out of something so beautiful.
Colorful balloons

If you’re a releasing-balloons-in-joy kind of person, create a rainbow in the sky.
Rainbow flowers
A rainbow bouquet of flowers is seriously stunning. You can have just the marriers hold them or give them to your entire wedding party (if you’re having one). If you’re not a bouquet person, a boutonnière works just as well.

Colorful confetti

Confetti is great for photo ops, too. Don’t forget to grab your photographer’s attention before you go for it!

The possibilities are endless.
Rainbow socks

Colorful socks are what dreams are made of. The best part is you can really find your own style by choosing between subtle ankle socks or really in-your-face knee highs.

An entirely rainbow dress

If you want to make a statement, a rainbow dress is the best way to do it. You can also opt for an entirely colorful outfit without wearing a dress.

A rainbow umbrella or parasol

Let’s be honest, rainbow umbrellas look good with everything and they’re just adorable. Even if it’s not raining, you definitely need one.
