Bouquet thus far (PIP)

Shanee18

So here is my version of the pearl & crystal bouquet that Teep originally had posted:

(Poor computer camera quality because I left my digital cam at my parent's house..)

I still need to add more small pearls/crystals to fill in some little gaps, but otherwise the "bling" part is done.  Now onto the ribbon on the bottom.  I am already planning on adding material around the wood to make it softer and thicker, but what color ribbon should I wrap it with?  

Here are the colors in the actual bouquet: white, silver, clear, fuchsia, light pink, and light greens.

What color would you go with?  

Thanks

Wow! It's beautiful! I'm actually making the same bouquets but with white, clear and ivory. 

For yours, I would tie either a white or light pink ribbon.  Awesome job!

Wow!! That is SO pretty Shannon!!!

franklissa

It is very pretty!!! About how long did it take you to make it?

Beautiful!

Thanks ladies.  Any thoughts on ribbon color?

franklissa, I started this back a few months ago.  (August, Septemberish?)  I saw a post from another knottie.  The original keeps the beads on a wire, but I wasn't liking the overall look of that so about a month ago I switched it to adding the beads to small pieces of wire and poking them into a styro ball.  It is very time-consuming and can be expensive depending on the beads you use, but it is the kind of thing that you can easily do while watching TV.  I would say you could probably get one done in under a month if you worked on it for a little bit everyday..just depends on the size you want.

I am making smaller ones for my BMs and they are going a lot quicker now that I know what I am doing!

SO PRETTY!! For the ribbon, I would go with green since it seems to be the least prominent color in the bouquet

Looks awesome!

I agree.

sleblanc72

I really like that Shan, it's beautiful!

squarepeg72

It's beautiful!

TeamMoriarty

i would go white, silver, or light pink.  i think green would just look like flower stems, which would also be pretty, but it's pretty obviously not flowers   it's beautiful shannon!

ncd5015

It's beautiful Shannon! Great job!

sprtychick10

that looks really good Shannon!

sweet_melissa81

So pretty! I can't wait to see it when it is completed!

tania0930

WOW gorgeous!!!  I'd stick with white/silver/light pink for the ribbon.  I feel like that's more bridey.  Then maybe you could do the BMs in green?

midgetthemighty

That is gorgeous! I would stick with white or light pink for yours and maybe do green for the BM's ones. Any color you do, it's still going to be gorgeous.

Purple&7

I think it looks beautiful!! I can't wait to see it when it's all finished!

It is very beautiful and unique. Do you have a link to the instructions?

franklissa: Here is the original website that many girls have based theirs off of:

http://ohdearphotography.com/2010/03/26/diy-bridal-pearl-crystal-bouquet-boutonnieres/

I wanted a bigger one, so I used the same concept, but my pieces of wire are about an inch long which I inserted into a styrofoam ball.  It's definitely a fun and beautiful (IMO) project.
