Beaded Bouquet
My daughter is having a fall wedding and saw a stunning crystal-beaded bouquet. She thought it would be different to have her bridesmaids have this type of arrangement -- UNTIL we saw the cost. Has anyone made one and if so, what type of beads did you use? Thanks.

I helped a friend of mine who used beaded flowers for her bouqets. She only had one bridesmaid so it wasnt quite as much work as it probably would be for you. They looked beautiful, but just a warning... Hours and hours of work, sore fingers and they were still costly (but not nearly as much as any quotes she got). I think i still have the instructions and pictures from a magazine article that we used if you would like me to send it to you.

Here are a few sites with pictures. You can do a "search" for crystal bouquets and get some additional sites, too.

My friend had a real bouquet and some of these spread throughout the inside of it to look like it was diamonds in her flowers. It was very beautiful and didn`t cost as much as the whole bouquet. Her bridesmaids carried flower balls with some extra-large rhinestones in them and it looked great. Maybe you can try something like that.
