8. Boho Meets Modern

Did you know Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love? Which makes it more than appropriate to use it as a wedding cake topper and dessert table decoration. The geometric patterns on the three-tiered cake give it a modern look, perfectly counterbalanced by this unique boho style macrame swing suspension.
