I LOVE this pic, I took it from a previous thread. I got three responses from the vendors board of prices..all 3 COMPLETLY different, from $150-$400. Did anyone have these crystals in their bouqet or is having them, I want to be prepared with prices ideas since the quotes were so different....thanks!!!
interesting idea, the crystals look like the beads my mom is using to create our centerpieces...
why such a difference in price?

Probably because of the extra labor to make the strands. As them to quote you if you make the strands yourself and they just have to add them in.

Re: Bouqet pricing question( pic inside)
i love that idea and have decided that after looking and seeing those same prices, that i can make that just as easily as buying for aobut 10 bucks!!! you can check on ebay, but i bought the wire for about 3 dollars in michaels, a wire cutter for 2 dollars or so and aurora borealis beads for cheap. i went onto ebay and bought swarovski crystals for about 6 dollars. go to this website http://www.budget-bride.com/8030.htm and just by looking at the picture, you can see that it is really easy. it is just placing the bead on the wire, 18 or 24 gauge, and twisting. if you have any questions just fm me.

can you create the crystals and provide them for the florist? i don't know who has given you quotes already, but laurie from la blossom hooked me up with tower vases and votive holders at a great price for us to create our own centerpieces. she seems very creative and open to unique ideas at a reasonable cost. i will be going back to her for flowers...
