Bouquet Bling

When we first met with our florist, we discussed putting a rosary in my bouquet. I thought this would be a lovely touch to our Catholic ceremony. As time passed, and I browsed the internet, I came upon another idea.

One of my favorite stores to checkout online, Room Service Home, has these beautiful crosses:

(2007 Faith, Hope & Love Crosses)

(Bridal Cross)

(2008 Purity, Strength & Beauty Crosses)

I went ahead and bought the bridal, faith, hope, love and strength crosses for each of the bouquets that we will carry down the aisle. I plan to give the crosses to each of the girls as part of their wedding gifts, although I'm not sure which girl will receive which cross. I chose the strength cross for my mother because, as Mr. Hydrangea says, "She is your rock."

They have a full set of 2008 crosses, but I loved the 2007 crosses because they are Faith, Hope and Love. Right now you can get the Bridal Cross for $29 (originally $48) and the 2007 collection for $74 (originally $98). I have to warn you though, their shipping is a little outrageous - $21 for UPS Ground. I loved them so much, though, that I had to snatch them up anyways and can't wait to see how they will look!
