The bride’s bouquet is one of the most special parts of the wedding. There are many ways to make it memorable and unique, such as the choice of flowers, the way that they are arranged, and any embellishments that you choose as a finishing touch. One of the most fabulous ways to dress up your bouquet is with eye catching crystal wedding jewelry.

Wedding jewelry has become a very popular accent for much, much more than just the bride herself. Customized crystal wedding jewelry is one of the most spectacular toppers that a bride can choose for her cake, whether it is in the form of a bejeweled crown, or rhinestone leaves and flowers. Likewise, the bouquet is a place that can be decorated in some very special ways to make it completely breathtaking.

When you are thinking about adding crystals to your wedding bouquet, the first thing to consider is what type of effect you would like to create. You can make it subtle or grand, depending on your wedding style. Do you want your bouquet to have a delicate shimmer or an all out explosion of sparkle? Is your wedding modern or vintage Hollywood inspired? These are the types of questions to ask yourself.

Once you have decided on the effect that you would like, the next step is to sit down with your florist and design the bouquet. One simple way to add a touch of glamour to your flowers is to choose a bouquet that has the stems wrapped in a wide satin ribbon. The ribbon is the perfect place to pin a piece of crystal wedding jewelry, such as a sparkling brooch. This can be a great use of a family piece, or if you do not have anything from your relatives, you can pick up a crystal or rhinestone brooch online or in a vintage shop.

Some brides want to have some sparkle mixed in with the flowers themselves, and there are some fantastic options available. If you like the effect of twinkling crystals evenly interspersed throughout your bouquet, then wire individual diamond or round Swarovksi crystals to tuck in with the blooms. Another beautiful idea is to put crystals into the centers of some individual flowers. You are surely looking at a high labor cost from your florist for this, but a very crafty bride could even consider adding this accent to her bouquet herself (or better yet, have a friend do it on the morning of the wedding).

For a more opulent and glamorous look, you will want to make the crystals a stronger design element. A fabulous effect can be created by having very large teardrop shaped Swarovski crystals grace the edge of the bouquet. They will swing and catch the light like magic as the bride walks down the aisle. For an even more eye-popping bouquet, choose crystals with an AB finish, which will throw a beautiful prismatic light.

Whatever special crystal details you choose for your bouquet, keep in mind that you can add a similar special touch to the rest of your wedding flowers. Whether your wedding theme is a winter wonderland, or modern elegance, the effect of crystal wedding jewelry in your bouquets and centerpieces will be absolutely stunning.
