diy hair accessories
I mentioned that I’ve been thinking about hair accessories for my wedding reception, and although I love the fabric flowers that are so popular these days (à la twigs & honey and muscari), I think I’m looking for something a little different. I can’t quite put my finger on what I’m looking for, is the problem.
But anyway, in brainstorming I found a bunch of inexpensive vintage brooches, flowers, etc. on etsy that got me thinking; any of these could be wired to a barrette or comb, or attached to a headband. Here’s a tutorial for making fascinators (you know, the hair flowers), which I found via style me pretty.
