Crystal Bouquet in place of flowers ....

jsurmacy

I am considering a Swarovski crystal bouquet instead of flowers. I am not a big flower fan and my wedding is in the winter and very formal so I think they crystals will go well with my theme/style.

Opinions? Has anyone ever done this/seen this? I am looking for a reputable person/company to create it, as they are quite expensive!

I am not a big fan of those. If you don't want flowers, what about a brooch, button, or feather bouquet? The crystals just spraying out like that do, as Retread said, look kind of gaudy.

I don't think they are very pretty at all.  I'd find something else.

I admit I don't like those. What about something like this?

That's a lot of money for something that looks so cheap.

I really don't like the crystal bouquet. It looks cheap and inexpensive. I think a nice brooch bouquet would be better and they have a little bling in them too. I am actually having one. Noaki on Etsy is great person to go through I recommend her.

Hmm I guess its a matter of opinion -- but thank you girls so much for your thoughts and suggestions!!!!

I had a crystal toss bouquet. It was about $20 for materials but after looking at it finished it looked cheap and gaudy. I decided to not go with it. Instead I am making a brooch bouquet which is nicer especially since my mom donated a couple to be used.

My dress has feathers across the bodice. I was also considering a feather bouquet. After seeing the comments, maybe I will stick with that! Thanks again.

I think it'd be really beautiful if you did a white feather and crystal bouquet. Mainly feathers and then some crystals in it also!! It'd be great with a winter wedding!

I'm not a fan of the sprays like the ones OP linked to, but the one that zizibet linked were gorgeous and I think crystals with a feathery dress for a winter wedding would be exquisite.

I'm making a bouquet like these. For 5 bouquets it will cost me under 100$ for all supplies.
