D Luczak says:Thank you ladies! I stumbled across the etched pearls at my local Michael’s store a few days ago they are part of their new spring bead selection. And yes those are crystals in the center of the flower focal.

trinkets says:This would be so pretty for a spring wedding.
I make fresh or silk bouquets and I favor using simple designs like 3 large cream roses with stems wrapped in fabric like satin etc.
A touch of color like your focal blossom would be just the right accent!
Very pretty & classic design.
