My Headpiece - A DIY Tease

September 11th, 2009 @ 5:04 pm by Mrs. Apple Cider

There are 2 things I knew when I started this wedding process. I wanted to wear a birdcage veil, and I wanted to wear some type of headpiece in my hair. I have seen SOOOO many amazing ones online, and even wrote about them here. This is another example of something I really wanted to do and was willing to pay for, but got roped into doing it DIY style. And this is how the finished product turned out:

Are you planning to wear a headpiece? Would you consider DIY?

WOW that’s really cute! that was my main thing while I was planning my wedding. I haven’t made my birdcage but I did make feather pieces for my bmaids. I haven’t finished all of them, but this gives me an idea for others. Can’t wait to see your post on how to make those. SUPER cute ;)

That looks great! I am going back & forth between a headband, nothing or some sort of fascinator. You did an amazing job :)
