Crystal Bouquets
Many contemporary brides who desire an alternative to carrying fresh flowers down the aisle are opting to carry a crystal bouquet on their wedding day. Crystal bouquets are most often made up of small individual crystals that are wired. The strands of wired crystals are typically twisted together artistically to make a hand-held bouquet. Crystal bouquets are becoming easier to find (especially from on-line vendors) as they become more popular alternatives to fresh flower bouquets. Wired crystal stems can be shaped into many different bouquet shapes although the hand-held dome bouquet seems to be the most popular at the moment.
