Crystal Trees

I got my metal trees in from cristalier, my crystals in from ethreal decor, and my silk flowers in from save-on-crafts. I did a quick mock up of what the trees would look like. Im not going to do the real put together until I'm in Savannah since FI has to transport everything in his car (I'm flying). Im pretty impressed with the trees. They are six feet tall but come in a pretty small box because the trunk peices screw together and the branches attach. The branches are also bendable so you can bend them into the shape you want. I didn't bend any of the branches for my mock up because I still need to transport everything. I bought silk hydrangea and rose garlands to wrap around the trunk. I took all the greenery off so it just the flowers and wound the garland tightly around the trunk so all you see it flowers. I got orchid branches, peonies, roses, and lilacs to weave in the branches. I used wire cutters to cut the stems off. I plan on painting the remaining orchid stems white so they blend in better with the branches and I want to buy some florist wire so I can attach everything better. I also need to get tea candles for the hanging holders that came with the tree. Im really impressed with how the lead free swarovski ropes sparkle. Im glad I got the 1 foot ropes instead of the 3ft ropes. More bang for the buck. I want to get a 2 ft base for the trees so they will tower at 8 ft tall.

Update: For those interested the price per tree including shipping, crystals, and flowers was omg $400. Wow. I didnt plan on that. I bet the florist could have done it better for the same

I have been very interested in these trees for my wedding as well. If you don't mind whenever you get the time could you e-mail me an estimated cost of these trees with crystals and flowers. My address is tippie01@yahoo.com. It would be very helpful. Thank you so much.
