Hair Flowers - Bridal Style!

When I first learned how to make these adorable little fabric flowers I knew I had to experiment with some white satin and make some pretty bridal hair flowers. The concept was to have an adorable satin flower to accent the hair that could be custom made for the bride, her bridesmaids, and even her flower girl. Since I introduced this white satin hair flower to the Bridal Section in my Etsy shop, several brides have purchased it and I have done 1 custom bridesmaid order. Until recently! I reconnected with an old colleague through facebook and she checked out my Etsy shop and saw the bridal flowers. She liked the satin flowers for her bridesmaids but wanted something different for her. I was so happy to be given the opportunity to design her hair flower, I couldn't wait to get started. I had seen instructions on how to make a fabric rose and this gave me this excuse to try it. Below is the finished product. It is currently for sale here.

I love how this came out but when she sent me a picture of her dress I knew it wouldn't work. Back to the drawing board. I ended up at my mom's for inspiration and saw a fabric flower pattern down in her sewing room. I thought it would be perfect except that the petals were too pointy. But I took the pattern and made some adjustments and the final result was this flower.

The Bride loved it and asked me to make that flower for her, the satin fabric flower hair clips for her bridesmaids, and a satin flower barrette for the flower girl. I was so excited, my first custom bridal party order! Here is a picture of all of the flowers that I made. The bride, flower girl, and maid of honor had matching center stones and the bridesmaids all had something different.

I caught a sneak peek at some pictures posted from her wedding and first could not believe how gorgeous everyone looked. But the hair flowers looked so amazing in everyone's hair including the bride's! I hope I get some pictures to have of everyone's hair! It was such an honor to be chosen to make hair accessories for someone's wedding day! I had so much fun doing it and hope that this is the first of many bridal party orders to come my way!
