Creating Custom Swarovski Crystal Wedding Bouquets and
Boutonnieres
My mission through writing this article is to broaden the
horizons of your imagination while customizing Swarovski Crystal
bouquets and boutonnieres. Many people may not know exactly how
versatile these arrangements can be. The sky is the limit when
designing in this medium. So I am going to offer several ideas
that will get your mind working to create beautiful arrangements
that will match not only your color scheme, but also your
personality on your wedding day.
Swarovski Crystals come in endless shapes, sizes and colors. You
can combine all of these in many different ways to create
bouquets and boutonnieres that reflect your taste and style.
Combining Swarovski Crystals that are all the same color and the
same shape but vary in size is very dramatic. You may choose to
have the sizes distributed randomly throughout the arrangement
or you could create a pattern with the larger crystals in the
center and fading to smaller crystals on the outer edges. Or
maybe try the smaller crystals in the center where they are a
bit more abundant, with the larger ones on the outside. Since
crystals are significantly heavier when you get to ten
millimeters and above, it is nice to have them mounted on wires
that are a little bit longer because this will create a lot of
movement in your bouquet. Remember, the more a crystal moves,
the more chances it has to catch light and sparkle incredibly
bright.
Another option is to choose crystals that coordinate with your
color scheme. For example, your bridesmaids and groomsmen are
wearing a pale shade of blue. It is stunning to choose five or
six shades of blue crystals in dark to light hues and combine
them all together to create your bouquets and boutonnieres. This
makes it very easy to compliment any accents that you will have
on your day. Whether you are working with other fabrics,
flowers, or jewelry, you don't have to worry with matching the
bouquets and boutonnieres perfectly to one item since there is
such a great variation in tones.
Adding Swarovski Crystals to a traditional wedding bouquet or
boutonniere is a very effective way to have crystal accents and
stick to a more traditional theme. You can have the arrangements
dominated by crystals or you may want to have the flowers take
over and have the crystals add merely a hint of glitz and glamor.
While speaking with a bride recently at a wedding show, she told
me that she would like to have a theme of rubies for her
Valentines Day wedding. I suggested that she create a bouquet
and boutonniere that have ruby red crystals in the center in the
shape of a heart and have clear crystals surrounding them. She
could have the entire bouquet arranged in the shape of a heart,
a butterfly, a star, or even a grapevine.
I hope that I have helped you in opening the doors to the
endless possibilities that are given to you when you choose
Swarovski Crystal Bouquets and boutonnieres. For more ideas on
