Gotta love Swarovski

Question: If a tree falls in a forest with no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Answer: Yes...if it's a crystal forest.

Less than a month ago, Swarovski celebrated the grand opening of their flagship Ginza, Tokyo store and I'm in awe of the gorgeous Crystal Forest concept brought to life by Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka.

The store's facade features 1500 stainless-steel mirrored prisms:


Shoppers are surrounded with dripping crystals throughout the entire store:

Note to self: Must visit this store in person one day!

I seriously love this concept and wonder how difficult (and expensive) it would be to translate the look and feel of this design to a wedding reception venue?
