THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED!
Be sure to check for future giveaways.

There are certain aspects of a wedding that a bride can personalize in order to save money. Some brides purchase a pre-owned wedding gown and alter the gown to their liking. Others engage in various DIY projects such as invitations, aisle runners, and table numbers. I am choosing to spice-up my bouquet with beautiful jewel stems made of rhinestones (or pearls. I haven't decided). Thank goodness I discovered NorthwestBridal on Etsy.com.

"We care about the environment. We do everything possible as a business to reduce our impact on this world. We have a long term commitment to being an environmentally conscience business, so you can feel good doing business with a company that cares." -Seller Northwest Bridal

How amazing would these pearl, rhinestone, or swarovski crystals look as an accent to your bouquet? Instead of spending tons of money adding flowers to a bouquet (and creating waste), why not purchase a smaller amout of flower and spicing them up with these bridal accessories?!

Take a look at these wonderful visions. Picture these in a photo against your beautiful wedding gown. Maybe even place a few in the flowers on the topper of your wedding cake. The possibilities are endless:
