Bow Me Over!

Bow Me Over!

I’m not a big fan of Carmen Electra–however, the girl has great hair. Her wedding day look is my inspiration. I’ve been on the hunt for combs and barrettes that resemble the bow she wore.

Here’s what I’ve come up with so far.

Bow Me Over! : wedding seattle Z956426 CarmenNew

Headpiece Heaven: $100 A bit pricey for something that I will only wear once. Then again, there is always eBay!

Also from Headpiece Heaven: $44. Not quite as sleek as I want…not sure if it’s as bow-like as I would like.

From Emitations. Only $15.99, but perhaps too small?

If you know of any place else I should check out, let me know!

Go Amie

If you find a brooch that works, it shouldn’t be hard to covert it to a comb - that might be an option too!

miss strawberry- check out www(dot)adorable-hair-accessory (dot) com- I looked quickly and saw a lot of cute and well priced items (about $25), I didn’t see one exactly like the inspiration piece but like I said, I only looked quickly.

oh, and check out the barrett section for the good prices- the bridal section is overpriced! Good luck!

That first one is too perfect… have you purchased your veil yet? Because you could DIY your veil for about 5 bucks, and perhaps justify the perfectest rhinestone bow ever. And maybe you could wear it again? In the back for a glam night out? Anyway, get it. Now.

Agree w/ Go Amie.

I’ve seen rhinestone bows on dog accessories in NYC…. so, if that doesn’t bother you, maybe try that market!

Also, the Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds perfume used to do a ton of marketing with pave-diamond-covered bows (gold-colored metal, though, I think) on pins, earrings, necklaces, you name it. So that could be a useful search.

P.S. Don’t rule out the good ol’ Avon catalog (including retired pieces — see ebay.)

I’ve got two similar pieces I bought on ebay. Search for “vintage brooch” - you can easily pin them in your hair. Also you might want to try http://www.rubylane.com

I really like the second one… I second Ebay as well… You will be surprised how much you will find on there. Good luck!
