Crystal Wedding Ideas!

Not only am I busy looking for the best and most unique holiday gift ideas, I am also a soon-to-be maid of honor looking at wedding ideas to please my bridezilla friend Nancy! She is having her wedding this time next year and her color theme is fall colors like browns and oranges, which I really really like. I bought some beads from merchantsoverseas.com in bulk knowing I would be getting creative for the Special Event.

I was planning on making some little napkin holders/rings which we could also use as decoration around our flower bouquets. I am also planning on making some pretty crystal bracelets for all of the bridesmaids.

So last night I was sitting at home with my boyfriend with Monday night football blaring on the TV. I had some extra time on my hands and decided to start making the rings. Let me know what you think! I think I have outdone myself yet again! hahaha
