Getting Married? Here's 50 Ways to Use Crystal in Your Wedding!

 Right now many people are going into wedding planning mode!   I am the maid of honor in a wedding in October of this year, and the decorating ideas in my head are in full swing!

There are some amazing ways to use crystal for a wedding, and they are pretty easy to do yourself.  For print decorations and bridal party decorations you would mostly be using Swarovski Flat backs with hotfix or adhesive, which come in a VERY LARGE array of styles, shapes, and colors.

For cake and table decorations, I would recommend using something like the very large 28mm Beadelle(TM) Rhinestone balls or Pave beads. They are easy to place around and they are beautiful on their own.  They come in gold or silver plating which is fun to mix depending on your wedding style theme.



If you are thrifty enough to decorate for your own wedding or are a wedding planner who likes to DIY, then you are much better off buying in bulk by the gross (1 gross = 144 pieces). A site like MerchantsOverseas.com is great because they sell Swarovski and Beadelle(TM) products by the gross and have every size, shape, and color.
