Crystal Bouquets????

What are your thoughts on them?

I really like them so decided to make a small one to see what it would come out like as they are very expensive to buy around $200 I have seen the cheapest.

This is a very rough one and its about 9 inches wide and about 9inches tall as well with clear, pink and a light grey swarovski crystals in

I thought this size would be perfect for my flowergirl who will be twelve and then do bigger ones for my adult bridesmaids

I really like it - it might be slightly more money than a disney boquet, but they can keep it forever instead of it dying the same week!

well I was going to make them all, the one I made cost me about £10 which is around$19 and to buy this already made is about $100

I was going to make one, but I ended up finding some magnolia blossoms that I fell in love with. So, I put them together like this: (pictures aren't that great, sorry)

I did a search for gold plated tarnish resistant wire on Ebay, got it rather cheap. I then bought swarovski crystals 4mm on ebay. I found that the swarovski crystals are a little more expensive, but they are much more sparkly and beautiful than the regular glass crystals.

I have to finish wrapping the handle of my bouquet and then I will be done with it. I am very happy with it, it will last forever, and I don't have to pay extra to preserve it.
