My daughter just sent me this photograph of a rosaline and rose water bouquet that she has just made with Swarovski crystals. I think that these bridal bouquets are so lovely and the fact that they can be kept for ever and even handed down as family heirlooms is a lovely idea. Have you ever been to a wedding where the bride has such an unusual and unique bouquet?

It will be interesting to see these photos, as I have never seen anything like it. I know people who make silk flower bouquets so they will last, but I have not seen any crystal ones.

No..but I did all the flowers for the wedding of my three kids...My daughter in law had a different idea. We took styrofoam balls and did their bouquets and they were round....they had a strap on them where they hung them over their arms...they were very pretty!

That is just lovely... probably pretty expensive to make, but it could well be an heirloom... that looks like those French beaded flower work, but with a the step up of crystals!

Well the price of this bouquet is less than my other daughter paid for a large floral bouquet when she was married, and that was 12 years ago, so I reckon that they are still very good value and last forever.

Absolutely beautiful! Your daughter did a beautiful job. I believe that beaded bridal bouquets are so much nicer as they last forever. I have never been to a wedding there they had a beaded bouquet, but I have been to a wedding where they had a silk ribbon bouquet. The flowers were all made of silk ribbons and it turned out beautiful. The bride (my cousin) wanted a bouquet that would last forever.

The reason that she started making them was that she was visiting a Wedding Fair with her sister in law to be, they saw a stand there and the future bride really wanted one of the bouquets but it was really expensive, my daughter said that she was sure that she could make one - she did and has never looked back since then!
