Wedding Tips

Help needed with crystal wedding theme?

Anyone have ideas on implementing crystals in a wedding and reception without spending too much money? My colors are red (apple), black and ivory. I want my centerpieces, cake table and buffet table to be designed with crystal. Please post pictures if available.

I’ve seen cakes that have faux diamonds and crystals on them that look very chic and not cheesy.

Here’s some stuff from google image search:

There are also lots of crystals and faux diamonds for inside vases and to hang from your centerpieces. Also to place around the table.
