Yes, yes, you all know about my feather obsession, which I chronicled here, aaand since you’ve also seen my dress, here, you already know that there are no feathers on that. Soo… what exactly am I doing with feathers, you might ask? This:

Oooh, aaaaah, that’s right, hive! I’ll be rocking feather eyelashes down the aisle. Exciting huh? I’ve been searching everywhere for the perfect pair and…

Okay, you can breathe now, I was totally kidding. Did I scare you?

But seriously, I’ll be working feathers into a few key things for the big day. Numero uno will be for my hair. But first, let’s check out a few of my favorite feathered bees:

The fabulous Mrs. Meatball rocking not only the feathery flower, but the feathery earrings, too! Damn girl!

My hairpiece, however, is more feather, less flower. I seriously thought about just making my own fascinator, but two things stood in my way: 1. I can’t find decent and interesting enough feathers around here anywhere, and 2. I can only buy feathers by the bag, and I don’t need that many. So, what did I do? I turned to Etsy, of course.

After a few minutes browsing through pages (and pages!) of feather fascinators on Etsy, I found one that fit all of my criteria: Feathery, not too big, in our wedding colors, with a sparkly center and no pearls- you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find bridal hair accessories with no pearls- and under $50. I found all that in a fabulous little fascinator by Etsy vendor Jenny Pickle.

Let me tell ya, not only does she have some amazing things in her store, she also does custom orders, and her accessories are completely affordable. Oh, and did I mention that she is so great to work with? She took all of my requests into account and had it to me in no time! Before I show you mine, let me give you a little glimpse into the amazing pieces that she makes:
