My daughter Natalie's been searching for a vintage-y looking brooch or clip for her wedding updo but hasn't had any luck. We set out a couple of weeks ago to look again. Still nothing. BUT, we did find these:
Not wanting to wear a headband, we pried the bling from the headbands,
and glued a little bit of pewter colored felt to the sharp edges on the underside:
(Gratuitous engagement ring shot! Isn't it pretty?)
Then we glued hair clips onto the backside:
We waited 24 hours (following the directions on the glue packaging) and wa-lah!
Two gorgeous hair brooches for less than $30 bucks! We may clip them in her hair together so that they look like one really big one. Haven't decided yet. Stay tuned for the final look ~ wedding's only eight weeks from now!

Hi Cindy,
What a wonderful idea you ladies had. My oldest daughter was married just over 1.5 years ago, so I know the excitement, exhaustion and happiness you are embarking on right now. I wish you nothing but happiness and success with your upcoming wedding planning.
Hugs,
Meri

Lovely...looking for something that you can't find is why I turned to crafting and sewing. It is the details that make the day...smiles...Renee

I got seasonal flowers from the farmers market and did them myself. worked out real well instead of paying $600 of each bouquet(5 bridesmaids and myself). instead i spent $200 and all my supplies
