I was looking for the Cristalier crystal wedding tree so I did a search for comments on the crystal wedding tree and found this site. It is beautiful! I think many items would look perfect for a fairytale wedding like mine. I am going to have a beautiful dress and I am planning on having every table with a crystal wedding tree I saw at cristalier.com. I can make each one for about $100 dollars which is less than floral centerpieces.
