Can any one recommend a good site to but these from?

Ive seen some in shops that are really plastic looking!!

Im after clear table crystals that look good quality and not plasticky.

Many Thanks

I found mine through a lady on ebay, but she did me a bispoke order of pink and clear crystals in different sizes and we did a private transaction via paypal rather than her creating a new item to my requirements on ebay. You can order direct from ebay, her link is below.
All were great quality, i ordered 5000 and that was enough to easily do 10 large round tables.

I need to get some clear crystals too. Those ones look lovely Sammy

Does anyone know how many I'd need to decorate 8 or 9 tables (8 people on each) and the guestbook table?

If you use the smaller sized, 4.5mm then around 500 per table. Sounds like a lot, but its really just a handful!

I bought mine from ebay- they came from Hong Kong I think- very cheap and looked fabulous. They were the tiny, delicate ones. We also picked up some packs containing various sizes from Home Bargains- seem to think £1.49 a pack. Diamonds tied in with our theme- we bought 7 BIG ones from Confetti for the children to do a treasure hunt with! I'd send the crystals on.... except our guests swiped most of them as a momento!!!!

Thanks both, that's a real help. Think I'll get a pack of 5000 from the girl Sammy used...only £5.99 - bargain

Sorry if this is a bit late, but I just spotted that the White Company have reduced their scatter gems by 80%, to £1.80 a box. I already bought eBay ones for a great price but they are kind of flat in shape and don't sparkle much. The pics of these look a lot better quality, so I've just bought five boxes to mix in with the eBay ones. Hope it helps someone anyway!

Just an update if anyone's curious. My White Company table crystals arrived today, and they are definitely more sparkley and better shaped than the eBay ones. The sizes are varied between 5mm to 12mm from what I can see, and I'd guess there's around 250 crystals per box.

So, even with the 80% discount, they are more expensive than buying a load from eBay, but I'd say still a good buy for the quality.

Couldnt fault the service from her and the crystals looked great. :-)

I know that this is completely extravagant & not MSE at all, but I had my wedding booked 2 years before the day, I bought genuine swarovski crystals for my tables, 100 per month, each month until I had enough. The theme for our wedding is LFC Football Red & Swarovski! This way, I got to splurge on the crystals, & they didn't seem as expensive as if I had pulled the money out all in 1 go! They do look fabulous in comparison to the acrylic versions, soooo much more sparkly! I will of course have someone designated for after the reception to collect them all up & return them to me!!!!
