LUXE for LESS: Crystal Tree Centerpieces

Since the Real Housewives of Orange County season a few years back, the crystal tree craze has become a new staple in weddings and creating a focal point for dynamic decor. Crystal trees are pretty expensive items to have someone else make just based off the time it takes to make, BUT it is something that you can spend your own time to make and make it a fun project for you and your hubby - to - be, therefore are other ways that are more budget friendly for brides to have and still allow them to be glamourous ideas for the bride.

Here is the crystal tree that was in Brides magazine. Doesn't it look gorgeous? Here are the instructions to make the crystal tree:

1. Ethereal Decor sells faux reproduction and real Manzanita trees which are the base for the crystal tree centerpiece. Choose your tree, faux or real, in your color that you want.

2. You can either purchase individual crystals or the already strung crystal beads and string the beads.

This is a wonderful project. Try it out and let me know how it turns out.

Until next time...

Love the crystal trees! Crystals make events so glamorous and are a great way to play off uplighting as well. Great post!
