Sparkling bubbly...

So I just saw this on the bff bridal email (check them out at http://www.bffbridal.com/) and I had to give it a shout out too since anything sparkly get's me pretty excited.

2 major trends coming together in this product: Personalizing or monograms plus anything that glitters. On top of it - it's on a champange bottle! And who doesn't like champange?!?

Starting December first, MOET & CHANDON are opening a temporary crystalization boutique in SOHO, New York.
You can get your name or your new monogram initials on your very own bottle of bubbly!
The cost at the store is $30.00 and uses real Swarovski crystals.
Now, since most of us don't have the ability to just pop over to SOHO New York, maybe this would be a d0-able DIY project?
My only request is that if your going to take on this project, for the love of everything sparkly DO NOT use fake crystals. If you do you just waste your time. Only real SWAROVSKI flat back crystals are what give any project it's "Wow" factor. Hit up your local craft store on look on ebay for some deals.

Either way be sure to check out: http://nymag.com/nymag/advertorial/moet/
