Of all the 2016 wedding trends, we’ve got to hand it to agate and geode decor. Natural or gilded, these brilliant stones are the drop-dead gorgeous details your spring or summer wedding needs. Not to mention that their vibrant hues and naturally unique patterns are the perfect blend of modern + boho chic. Whether you’re biting into an agate-inspired wedding cake or walking past garlands of geode slices, this rockin’ trend is the perfect way to add a little *dazzle* to your wedding decor. Scroll on and get inspired by 18 ways to bring the stunning agate and geode trend to your wedding.

1. SoulMakes Agate Geode Candle Holder ($48): Whether used as tabletop centerpieces or decorative planters to line the ceremony aisle, these gorgeous geode planters are the bohemian bride’s dream decor accents. Stick to raw stones for an authentic feel, or go gilded for a more elegant vibe. (via Soul Makes)

2. DIY Mineral Photo Display: Display photos of you and your beau on the welcome table or as place cards. These minimalist geode photo holders are super simple to whip up and make for meaningful favors for wedding guests. (via A Beautiful Mess)

3. Hanging Agate Garlands: Slates of shimmering agate make the perfect garland accessories for a boho chic wedding. Their vibrant colors are sure to turn heads, while their lovely ringed patterns bring a natural beauty to your wedding decor. (Photo via Braedon Flynn Photography / Green Wedding Shoes)

4. Brit + Co Agate Slice Coasters Kit ($39): Elevate your table setting with this beautiful set of agate coasters. They aren’t just trendy — their gold-rimmed detail adds a little glitzy glam to any drink you decide to serve your guests.

5. Geode Napkin Ring: Offset your refined table setting details with something a little more natural chic, like this geode napkin ring. This particular pairing of a turquoise geode with pastel pink napkin plays up Pantone’s colors of the year, for a table your guests will love.

6. Geode and Raw Engagement Ring: This stunning geode and raw engagement ring pairing was actually used for a beach-y styled wedding shoot, which goes to show that the geode + agate combo can work even for a sun and sand theme. It’s the touch of ethereal romance that any wedding needs, regardless of theme. (Photo via Blush Wedding Photography / Ruffled)

7. Agate Cake Topper: Not sure what to do with your wedding cake? If you’re not one for elaborate designs, try a refined but simple look by garnishing a plain white cake with geodes here and there. (Photo via Taylor Lord Photography / Wed Pics)

8. DIY Agate Cheesecake: Consider this decorating technique if you’d rather opt for an edible agate wedding cake, using food coloring and vodka. Its lovely pattern of rings is reminiscent of those of the agate, and, best of all, you can get the look in 10 minutes or less. (via Alana Jones-Mann)

9. Geode Cake: Bring the gorgeous marbled effect to a tiered cake for the ultimate geode wedding cake. For cakes that have a busy palette, like this one’s blend of purple, pink and orange, they pair best with neutral toppers that won’t conflict with multicolored hues.

10. Agate Plate Setting: Offset vivid pieces, like this agate place card for the happy couple, with a more subdued plate setting. This set of clear plates and gold utensils perfectly complements the look to keep the bright hues from being too intense. (Photo via Katie Mcgihon / Wedding Chicks)

11. Geode-Inspired Menu: Bring agate and geode to your plate setting with pieces like an agate place card or a gem-shaped menu. They add texture to your decor if you’re working with a limited color palette, such as this black-and-gold-themed plate setting. The geometric plates keep the all-black look far from drab. (Photo via Erin Heart Court / 100 Layer Cake)

12. Minted Simple Agate Wedding Invitations ($260, set of 100): *Wow* your guests with these undeniably beautiful agate-inspired save the dates. Their gold foil-pressed detailing and watercolor palette combines elements of romance and glamour for a one-of-a-kind invite.

13. Ceremony Backdrop: Set the stage for your vows with a unique backdrop, such as this five-foot geode replica. When combined with eclectic brass and gold accents and surrounded by lush garlands, it’s a dream altar setting. (Photo via Lauren Scotti / Green Wedding Shoes)

14. Geode Place Cards: Dazzle and delight guests with personalized place card holders that double as wedding favors. Combine two trends like this wedding did by going geometric with your place card shapes and geode with your card holders. (Photo via Amalie Orange Photography / 100 Layer Cake)

15. Rock Candy: You can’t have decorations inspired by rocks without some tasty bites inspired by those very same stones. Go classic with some rock candy. Stick to highly pigmented ones for a bold look that’s far from kiddie. (Photo via T&S Hughes Photography / Style Me Pretty)

16. Rock Cookies: Who knew rocks could taste so good? Your guests are in for a pleasant surprise with these yummy cookies inspired by geode and agate stones. (Photo via Let’s Frolic Together / Green Wedding Shoes)

17. Geode Table Runner: A geode table runner is the perfect alternative to a geode-inspired plate setting. If you’re going for a runner with warmer tones, opt for brass or gold utensils, and use silverware for a cooler palette. (Photo via Elvira Kalviste Photography / The Big Fake Wedding)

18. Agate Chandelier: Impress guests with a suspended agate ceiling display. The gorgeous geodes will glint and gleam whenever they catch the light for an alternative take on the traditional chandelier. (Photo via Paige Jones Photography / 100 Layer Cake)

Fans of Fourth Wing are on pins and needles because Rebecca Yarros just announced she's finished writing the third book in the Empyrean series! It's us, we're fans — along with over half of BookTok.

We can't believe we're getting closer to reading more about Violet Sorrengail's journey, but we know you have a ton of burning questions about the release date for Book No. 3.

We may not have all the answers, but we've done a little digging to share as much as we can because who doesn't want to know what Rebecca Yarros has been up to?

I'm new to the Empyrean series. Are "Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame" really worth reading?

Amazon

I'm not going to lie to you. The editorial team, including myself, are extremely biased about Fourth Wingand Iron Flame. From my perspective, I think these are great books for anyone who had the pleasure of growing up during the great Harry Potter era and moved on to watchingGame of Thrones and House of Dragons.

Did she announce the name of book no. 3?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

YES! Book No. 3 is titled Oynx Storm.

Knowing what we do about the manifestation of Violet's powers, I think this could hint she's going to play an even larger role in the series. According to a fan theory shared on TikTok(via Empyrean Riders), it's believed that Violet and Xaden Riorson are actually gods. Stay with me here.

Empyrean Riders noted that Violet's last name means heavenly and that she's able to control time thanks to her connection to the young dragon Andarna (I love her so much!). That sounds pretty god-like to me.

And when asked which two Taylor Swift songs describe Onyx Storm, Rebecca Yarros chose "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" from The Tortured Poets Department and "So It Goes..." from Reputation. "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" is one of Taylor's most powerful songs and definitely translates the idea that Violet's powers are going to be stronger than ever, while "So It Goes..." is equal parts suspense and seduction, and is TOTALLY about "all the pieces fall right into place" to get together with the right person.

There's so much more to unpack so I suggest grabbing a yummy snack while you fall down the rabbit hole. All I'm sure of is that Onyx Storm is going to leave our emotions in shambles just like Fourth Wing and Iron Flame did.

When did Rebecca Yarros announce she's done writing book no. 3 in the series?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

On June 17, Rebecca Yarros shared this image of her laptop to indicate she'd finished the third book in the Empyrean series.

She wrote, "(Pic from one of the very many locations in which this book was written)," towards the end of the caption before adding a few relevant hashtags to it.

When will Onxy Storm be available for purchase?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

Rebecca Yarros exclusively told Good Morning America that fans can expect the book to hit shelves January 21, 2025! That gives us a little over six months to prepare our emotions for what's sure to be a storm of a book.

She said, "There will be politics, new adventures, old enemies and of course, dragons." There's no way she could forget the dragons because I'd willingly riot over them. They deserve to have their stories told forever.

As luck would have it, Cosmopolitan received an exciting first look at what's to come in Onyx Storm. The excerpt begins with Violet realizing the Venin have found their way into Basgiath War College and are wreaking havoc. Alongside Rhiannon, Sawyer, and Ridoc, she races to stop the Venin from releasing Jack Barlowe from his prison cell.

However, Violet's shocked when she discovered one of the "dark wielders" has a long silver braid that closely resembles her own. Before she can fully react, the woman disappears. According to Screen Rant, there are possible theories about why Violet saw her and what this means for her growing power.

Towards the end of the excerpt, Violet discovers the Venin want to capture her too. Also, Xaden makes his long-awaited appearance and it's clear their playful banter in the face of danger hasn't changed. That he hasn't fully changed into the Venin Violet's used to seeing.

I officially can't wait to read the rest of the book in January!

Has Rebecca Yarros revealed the cover for Onyx Storm?

Today/Bree Archer, Elizabeth Turner Stokes for Entangled Publishing

Onyx Storm

Yes!

TODAY received an exclusive look at the cover for Onyx Storm and it doesn't disappoint! Unlike its predecessors, it appears Rebecca Yarros is hinting that darker events will take place.

Fans of the Empyrean series aren't the only ones who are excited to see what fate has in store for our favorite characters though. In a statement to TODAY, Rebecca revealed how elated she is to be working on the series again. "It's amazing to be back with these characters again. She also said, ""I can't wait for readers to see what Violet, Xaden, and the rest of the quadrant have in store for them in Onyx Storm!"

Kate Winslet is THE Hollywood actress to me. Not only has she starred in box office smashes like Titanic and Avatar: Way of Water, but she's proven her acting chops in breakout indie flicks and provided mothers and daughters everywhere with eternal Christmas movie nights thanks to The Holiday. But the actress' consistently viral kindness, her dedication to embracing her natural beauty, and her sophistication don't mean she always feels confident. Kate Winslet just spilled on the one movie from her career that had her "sh—ing" herself, and I just had to dive in.

Here's what Kate Winslet had to say about her scariest movie experience ever.

  • Kate Winslet made a name for herself with Titanic, Sense & Sensibility, and The Holiday.
  • However those movies aren't the film she wants fans to ask about!
  • The actress spills on the movies she's proud of, and the one job that had her "sh—ing myself."

Talking to Vanity Fair for her newest film Lee, Kate Winslet revealed one project she wishes fans asked about more is Iris. The 2001 film stars Kate as a young Iris Murdoch against Judi Dench's older counterpart. And for Kate, nothing was more terrifying than working with such a wonderful actress.

"People don’t really ask me about Iris. It’s such a delicate film," she says. "It was the first thing I had done after having my daughter. Going to work with a baby, I’m playing Iris Murdoch, looking to Judi Dench’s older Iris Murdoch — I was sh—ting myself."

Considering how nervous I get when I meet my heroes, I can only imagine what it was like to meet Dame Judi Dench. Talk about a dream! Another film Kate loves is Revolutionary Road, and not just because she got to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"The thing that people say is, 'You got to work with Leo again.' Then they go off on the whole Leo tangent, which I totally understand," she says of the film, which follows an ambitious couple who find themselves trapped in the reality of 1950s suburbia. "But Revolutionary Road — f—king hell, it just knocked us all sideways. Unbelievably difficult material. I was very proud of that film and what Leo and I were able to create as Frank and April. It was so brutal."

The process for getting Lee into the world sounds equally brutal, considering Kate started working on it over a decade ago. As producer, Kate tells Vanity Fair she doesn't mind the fact she's done more for the film than if she only had an acting credit. "That has felt very necessary for this film. But it’s also just really important to me," she says. "It’s important to me that people know that it’s out there and might feel compelled to go and see it."

Because it turns out, commercial success or stardom on its own doesn't actually help your movie get made! "It doesn’t matter who you are," she says. "No one’s going to go, 'Oh, I’ll just back that pony because she was in Titanic.' It doesn’t happen that way, and I never expected that. That’s really important to say."

"I've gotten older and I’ve learned more and felt more confident in myself about whether or not I could actually do it," she adds. "It’s not something I would’ve done had I not felt so passionately about the subject, and Lee was just—she wouldn’t let me go."

Let us know your favorite Kate Winslet movies in the comments, and since we've officially entered cozy season, check out Why The Holiday Movie Ending Is The Most Important Scene while you're at it!

Marvel movies are known for their heroes and their hopeful outlook on the world. But in 2025, we're getting a brand new team: the Thunderbolts. This team is made up of antiheroes and former villains, and it's sure to be the wackiest and strangest, as well as one of the most memorable, superhero movies we've seen in recent years.

Keep reading for the latest news on Thunderbolts* before it hits theaters in 2025.

Marvel Studios/YouTube

Thunderbolts* comes out this May, and the cast just showed off some brand new footage at the D23 convention — and thanks to the new 'Celebrating 85 Years' spot, we have the first look too!

We get a look at Bucky Barnes, The Red Guardian, John Walker, and Ghost. Plus, Yelena Belova, of course. This heartbreaking detail about Yelena's new look connects Florence Pugh's Yelena to Scarlett Johansson's Natashaand I'm WEEPING.

Marvel Studios/Walt Disney Studios

And at D23 Brazil, we got a brand new look at my new favorite team. "There’s something in this film, in terms of superpowers and superheroes, that shows that our superpowers lie in how ‘broken’ we are," David Harbour said at the event. "As if our superpowers came from our relationships.”

What is the plot of Thunderbolts?

Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images for Disney

Thunderbolts* Plot

Consider Thunderbolts* to be The Avengers' edgy younger sibling. The movie follows Yelena Belova (who we know off the bat is a "depressed assassin" thanks to a Marvel Studios press release). She's joined by Bucky Barnes, The Red Guardian, and John Walker. Based on a leak, it looks like we'll see this group of misfits team up against Valentina Allegra de Fontaine after she sends them on a deadly mission.

Thunderbolts* Release Date

Thunderbolts* Release Date

Thunderbolts* hits theaters May 2, 2025.

Who's on the Thunderbolts team?

Thunderbolts* Cast

Thunderbolts* stars Florence Pugh, Geraldine Viswanathan, Lewis Pullman, Hannah John-Kamen, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sebastian Stan, and David Harbour.

This is a huge cast, and Viswanathan just revealed how crazy the first day of filming was. “My first day didn’t feel real," she tells Vanity Fair. "I felt this extra pressure of, ‘Know your lines, babe. You can’t really play around like you usually do.’"

Historically, sci-fi fans haven't been kind to actresses in their favorite projects (remember when Star Wars fans bullied Kelly Marie Tran off social media?). But Viswanathan is already thinking ahead. “If it’s overwhelming, I’ll log off. But I like discourse around pop culture,” she says. “[Thunderbolts*] felt a little bit edgier and fresher, more existential and dark.”

Jesse Grant/Disney

The rest of the cast also enjoyed working together. “Everyone is going to f—kin’ love me! It’s really, really, really fun to be with a group of actors that you have a good time with," Wyatt Russell says at Comic Con (via Variety), while David Harbour adds, “Florence Pugh [is] just electric to work with. There’s warmth and humor, but there’s also a lot of pathos.”

“This is why we can't stop laughing together, because we genuinely just had such a wonderful time with each other and we've loved working with one another," Pugh tells People. “I feel like this is something that we've never seen before from Marvel...it's a very open and honest and truthful idea. And I'm just really excited for people to watch it.”

Are you excited for this brand new chapter in the MCU? I really feel like Thunderbolts* will usher in a whole new generation of fans and I, for one, CANNOT WAIT! Let us know your thoughts on Facebook.
