I have been making these custom Wedding Bulbs for some time. They are 18" in diameter and are in silver and gold.
It's so funny how this happened. I had done murals in the home of this wonderful woman, Ellen Worthy. She makes beautiful custom window treatments. She called me one day and said she had seen these large bulbs at Harrod's in London and could I make one for her. She had found the bulbs and with no pictures to work from I came up with these.
I have to tell you I was scared to death that it wouldn't fulfill her expectations, but it turns out that she actually was teary when she saw it.
They are customized by using the wedding colors, bouquet flowers, names and wedding date and hair color. I also add swarovsky crystals, glitter, acrylic paint, ribbon and what ever else comes to mind.....wouldn't vintage chandelier crystals be a pretty addition? Would have to figure out how to add them, maybe to the ribbon? It was so fun making it, I could hardly put it down. Once I got over the stress about measuring up to Harrod's ...turned out she said mine were prettier, I thought I had received an Oscar, really!!!
She gave them with table stands with a hook to display them.

It was so doubly rewarding to see how pleased she was. It's like when you make a wonderful meal for family and friends, you work and stress like crazy and suddenly it's all worth it to see them enjoying it. Life is good!
