Hair Flair

February 1st, 2008 @ 11:37 am by Mrs. Cupcake

I sometimes get an idea in my head, and become a little obsessed with that idea until I attain or obtain exactly what I’m looking for. Lately, this idea is a funky and colorful (but not overly loud) adornment for my hair at our reception.

I’ll be wearing a veil for the ceremony and photos, but I’d like to add a little bit of fun hair-flair for the reception. I have found flowers and crystals and feathers (oh, my!), but nothing has yet tickled my fancy.

While doing my nightly wedding blog reading last night, I came across a possible solution to my hair-flair search. Lynn at Handcrafted posted about some adorable flower brooches from Piper Ewan’s Etsy shop. They are exactly what I have been picturing! Just look at how fabulous these are:


Designer Kirsten Moore says she will take special orders if you ask nicely :-) Her prices are extremely reasonable for such beautiful hand-crafted creations, and she also has some funky, unique garters on her site. I think I am going to have to figure out exactly what I want my hair-flair to look like and have Kirsten make me a Piper Ewan original!

Has anyone else been searching for a unique accessory that they can’t quite find just yet? Maybe the hive can lend you a hand!

I had a similar obsession with Jennifer Behr. I searched everywhere for something similar to one of her pieces and even contemplated a little DIY action, but when Daily Candy sent me a 30% discount code, I had to make it mine!

I love that green one…

So funny, I was just looking at these flowers yesterday and thinking how lovely they are. I can’t wait to see what she creates for you– it’s going to be so pretty!

I love these! How would one get it to stay in your hair?

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this, yet, but do a search for hair fascinators. (Usually they can be both clipped in the hair, or on a piece of clothing - double-duty!) I’ve seen “bridal” pieces and fun, funky, colorful ones too!

pattyb- Kirsten’s Etsy shop says the flower will easily stay in with a few bobby pins. We shall see, I guess! :-)

Lynn- No problem! Thanks for introducing me to this awesome Etsy shop!
