With the summer wedding season just a few months away many future brides are in right in the midst of their wedding planning. Having a summer wedding gives the future bride plenty of options when looking for the perfect décor for your outdoor wedding reception. When I think of a stunning outdoor wedding reception, first thing that comes to mind is a gorgeous centerpiece.
Add A Little Bling-Bling to Your Wedding Day
Amaze your wedding guest with a crystal tree centerpiece and make your focal point the talk of the town. We all know that crystal trees can get a bit pricey however, they are in high demand. Fortunately, for you DIY brides you can create your very own crystal tree and save a boat load of money. Check out how you can craft you own crystal tree centerpiece.
Here’s What to Pick up from Your Local Craft Store
- Sturdy tree branches or you can use real ones (The height and size is totally up to you, depends on what you are going for)
- A base to hole the tree (Cylinder Vase)
- Fishing Line
- Crystal or/beads with small holes at the top (If you want your crystals to give off a sparkle, be sure to pick up the ones that are iridescent. Do Not Buy Crystals without the holes. You must be able to string the wire through the crystal.
Instructions - Place the branches in the base (Cylinder Vase) that you purchased.
- Tie a fishing line to different branches on the tree make sure that the line is hanging down at different lengths.
- String the crystals or beads to each of the fishing line.
Remember the more crystals you use the merrier! Good Luck!

where do i buy the stuff to make the tree
Very cool centerpiece. I sent this to a wedding planner friend of mine. Very cool idea and really inexpensive.
Those decorations are fantastic. We did something very similar to the bling look for our wedding that was a DIY idea. This also makes your wedding more affordable which is always nice. Thanks for the idea!
