Apparently, I do weddings

| 1,001 Comments

Last weekend I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in a dear friend’s wedding. The service was beautiful and my bridesmaid dress was great. For the wedding, she asked me to design a hairpiece for her for the reception. She wanted a big flower side piece. Something elegant and fantastic. The colors in her wedding were purple and silver.

When looking for supplies, I couldn’t find any purple silk flowers that I liked, so I decided to hand paint some white ones. I couldn’t believe how well it worked. Here is me painting, petal by petal:

Once I painted the flowers, I sewed them onto a large hair comb. Then I found some small white roses I liked and used them to frame the large purple rose. I also had found some purple beading I really liked, so I added them to the center of the rose to give it some extra sparkle.

And here is the final look. When she went to get her hair done, the hairdresser liked the piece so much, she convinced the bride to wear it for the full wedding day. I was so proud and pleased as punch.

And closer:

I think it turned out really well. Everyone liked it. I actually made 2. I was so worried about it and wanted to give her options. The other one had feathers and was more whimsical. I’m sure I’ll put a pic up of it eventually.

Anyways, apparently I now do wedding pieces. 🙂
