My Yummy Hairpieces!
April 30th, 2008 @ 1:11 pm by Mrs. Daffodil
Way back when the wedding planning first began, I thought that I would be wearing a headband on my wedding day. Of the weddings I had been to up until that point, most of the brides had worn tiaras or headbands, so I kind of took that for granted. Once I began scouring wedding blogs and checking out “real weddings” on The Knot, I fell in love with the idea of having smaller hairpieces pinned into my hair along with fresh flowers. Thus began my search for the perfect hairpieces!
I am excited to say that after looking for a while, they are finally here! I custom ordered them from Haute Bride, a local San Francisco bridal salon that specializes in bridal jewelry. While there are plenty of other salons that sell jewelry for cheaper, in my opinion, the selection and intricacy of detail they have just don’t compare to what I found at Haute Bride. They turned these around for me in one day, and I also placed my custom jewelry order with them as well, which took two weeks (picking them up on Friday!).
Aren’t they exquisite? I was so excited at how dainty and just “pretty” the detail was!
These will match my jewelry perfectly, which will also be freshwater pearls and crystal beads. I paid ~$40 each for them, which I thought was reasonable given that they are real pearls, crystals, and for the personalized service and customized handiwork.
I am going for my second hair trial this weekend (since that first one didn’t turn out too well!), and can’t wait to see what they will actually look like in my hair! Plus, I will have my earrings and necklace by then, so I’ll have the full set!

Those are gorgeous! I have been looking for the perfect ones, so I will have to check their site.
Wow, they’re so pretty! (though the price makes me want to go into business making these things myself!) I made my pearl/crystal hair comb, and I agree with blushingaudrey, you should put it in AFTER all the hairspray has been shellacked onto your head! 
oooh cool, thanks for the tip, ladies! i’ll be sure to keep that in mind when i go for my trial this weekend!
Love them!! I’m sure they’ll be beautiful, and can’t wait to see how they come out in your hair….
they are really pretty! i wish i could make my own.

Beautiful! I was looking for nearly the same thing and recently found some…I hope mine come out looking as good as yours

About Me: I moved around a lot growing up, but consider myself a Southerner at heart. I love scrapbooking, dancing, doggies, and diet coke. I am all about personalizing everything and hence, I'm a DIY bride who is just loving the entire wedding planning process! Mr. Daffodil and I met in our college fellowship group and were "just friends" for three years before we started dating. We've been together for four years now and can't wait to get married in sunny SoCal, Mr. Daffodil's hometown.
They are gorgeous! Just an FYI though, pearls do NOT react well to hairspray and other styling products. They should be fine once the styling stuff has dried, but definitely make these beautiful pins the very last thing you put in your hair!
