Now Available: Scatter Crystals

Monday, November 10th, 2008

My home page receives a lot of compliments and inquiries. I have deduced that it is largely in part to the crystals that are scattered around the letter. What isn’t visible in the picture is the fact that the crystals are the same flat-backed stones that I use to cover my crystal cake toppers and crystal server sets which had to be flipped over by hand, one by one, for the photograph.

What if you didn’t have to flip them over? What if they looked like perfectly cut 3-D diamonds!? Voila: an addition to my product line is born. As the picture below shows, they are only available in “Crystal”. The colored stones are not being made by Swarovski at this time.

I ordered a bunch of sizes and came up with the best looking mixture, which includes 3 sizes ranging from 1/2″ to 3/8″ diameter. I have only begun to play around with the stones and they are MAGICAL. A little goes a long way or you can cluster them together for a very rich, over-the-top look. They are NOT acrylic.  They are CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements so they sparkle like mad and they can be added anywhere: to tiers of the actual cake, the cake table, the sign-in table, gift table, between table settings, surrounding unity candles… I can go on and on.

Scatter Crystals

I do not stock the scatter crystals but would be happy to custom order them based on the quantity needed.    Please note that these are not acrylic and are not priced like acrylic… if you catch my drift.   Please contact me if you would like to know more about pricing and the quantity they come in.

Another Great Photo Idea

How cute is this!? Had to share the idea… (thanks Nicole!)

The colors of this crystal cake topper were diligently selected to match a sea foam green pillow case that was used as the inspiration in devising the perfect color palette for this event.  I was shocked to receive the actual pillow case in the mail and while I don’t recommend mailing me your furnishings, I also have a “whatever works” mentality towards getting everything perfect for your big day.
