These are really nice. I had a large bouquet of flowers for a special occasion and it had crystal stems like these incorporated with the flowers. It was really beautiful.
The lady who made them used really good wire and swarovski crystal. We made earrings!
I made these for my wedding in 2005. My bouquet had 300 stems and the bridesmaids each had 150. The flowergirl's stems were stuck into styrofoam in a basket that she carried. I, too, used gold wire, with crystals, pearls and pink and amethyst accents.
Thanks everyone! What I like about this idea is that it's so customisable: more ribbons, centerpiece, double the stems, bend the wire into shapes. Whatever you like, it's easy to mix it up.
athenamat, I'm just not a floral kind of girl. I did look at some, but didn't feel comfortable carrying them. But I still wanted to carry something or else I'd end up biting my nails Also, in my area, a lot of flowers are grown elsewhere then transported in, which isn't the best for the flowers or the environment. It just didn't seem like a good fit for me or the occasion - I don't have anything against flowers in general

Thanks for sharing.
And your dresses are beautiful, by the way. Congrats! =)
What a clever thing to do.
They look great with the dresses, too.
I made a silk flower bouquet to throw.

Congratulations on your marriage!
Might do that for my wedding, when ever it is i get married, but add some ribbons to it to make it a little more girlly.
