Chandeliers are showing up in indie weddings lately — and I don't just mean literally. I mean sure, there was this amazing (and amazingly expensive) display from photographer Elizabeth Messina's wedding. I also love these shots of chandeliers in trees.
But chandeliers are also showing up on invites, like the handmade ones here the left from Mary Katherine, these lovely invites from Etsy seller EnfinLaVoila, and these invites from Wedding Paper Divas.
I think the real value in a fancy-ass chandelier comes from the contrast of all that frou-frou-ness in an unexpected environment, like this picture.

That's funny that you posted this because last night I was messing around with a chandelier image on my invites, but alas, I opted not to do it.

Lisa at Blush did a great series of posts about incorporating chandeliers into your wedding a while ago that you might check out, too!

Cool, Kathryn! Here's a link to a related Blush post.
