I wasn't able to find my original post for this put I have been trying to locate already put together beaded accents to have put onto my wedding gown...

I am so far for sure going with this gown...

To me the dress is a little plain and I prefer some glitz to it.. some sparkle. I have looking for some glitter/sparkle accents to put on the skirt at the starting of the ruffles.... I found a couple and just wondering if I could get some honest opinions and maybe some help with how to go about it....

These are the ones I found....

or....

So any comments, opinions, or helpful hints are appreciated.....

I think that you should just use 3mm bicones. They are easy to sew on, they don't look promish and clear thread will be unable to be seen. I think that the button will be too much and you will not get as much sparkle from the cz. I like this site:http://www.fusionbeads.com
I make all sorts of jewelry with swarovski and they are the best.

I would be afraid to glue anything to the dress. Just in case something went wrong. If it were up to me, I would probably just wear more sparkly jewelry.

What about something like this??? And a little seed bead at the top to cover the hole for threading??

I use the flatbacks on everything. I used to work for Swarovski and I also have done beauty pageants since I was 8 and always decorated my own clothes. I have always used the AB flatback stones in different sizes and they have looked great. I have the glue upstairs pm me if you want me to go look it up for you. It works great and dries clear so you wont see any of it.
