where to buy rhinestone bling cake trim from??

[Deleted User] · March 2012

Just wondering where those of you who used or are using rhinestone trim/banding for your wedding cakes purchased it from??
I have found a few sites I cannot believe how expensive it is!!
We are having a 4 tier round cake that will feed 150 guests. One bakery said I'd need about 9 yds, another said I'd need 10 yds, another said 140 inches whatever that is in yards.
I have found few sites but the prices are a bit much.

Anyone have any suggestion?? I found some on Amazon Etsy but am looking for specific people/shops.

I went to JoAnn's Fabrics they did have a cheaper alternative 16.99 per yd but I'm not sure it's the look I am going for.
Thanks!

Pls pardon all the grammatical errors on my OP. I was on my cell phone on The Knot's mobile site and I have no idea why it didn't post exactly as I wrote it.

I found the ribbons for my cake at the Ryco Ribbon Outlet in Lincoln RI.

They had rhinestone ribbon when I was there.

This site has the cheapest rhinestone stuff I've found anywhere, and they sell it in roughly 10 yard rolls (not cheap)

You may have to find an alternative, or perhaps only do 2 of the 4 tiers and use an alternative decoration as recommended above.

I've ordered from this site, and they are prompt and also reasonably priced (cheaper than above)

Search Dreamtime Creations for other options as well. They have several pages of items when I searched "rhinestones by the yard".
