Nontraditional bridal headpiece - Silver, pearls and flowers

[ckrickett]

My headpiece for my reception! I wanted something more renaissancy, and non traditional. Found a lovely seller on Etsy who does sterling wirework with gems and crystals and pearls.

I ordered this which is somewhat custom, with freshwater pearls, green swarvoski crystals, green aventurine cabochon, and handmade porcelain flowers. It's so pretty and I am really happy with it

Oh, that is pretty! It doesn't look so "bridey", but does look appropriate for a wedding at the same time. Very nice! You'll show us when it's completed, right?

Your reception headpiece is lovely and unique. I love the flowy lines of the silver and the combination of the white pearls and green crystals. Who is making it for you?

https://www.etsy.com/shop/ElnaraNiall Was the shop that made it for me. She was very nice and a pleasure to work with.

Thank you all for the kind words. Since I am super overwhelmed with everything seeming to go wrong last minute, having this little beauty arrive on time and perfect was a very pleasant occurrence!

ckrickett,

I love your headpiece! It's going to look beautiful on you!

Also, everyone who has been married will tell you that something almost always goes other than planned in either the ceremony, the reception, or both. The good news is that nobody will notice but you! That's because everyone there will just assume that however things are is exactly the way that you had planned, and their eyes will gloss over anything that isn't just so. Plus, at the end of the day, no matter what else, if you end up married, that's all that really matters in the end.

I too love the head piece and the advice!!! Don't sweat the small stuff...it will work its way. You are the star of the day (well, maybe share the spotlight with the person you are marrying as well..but no one else!!) And you both will be the same two people loved by your family and friends there to share the day with you.

Things go wrong and it's all "part of the fun". Just accept that there will be flaws and go with the flow.

If you end up with a daughter, that headpiece is going to be very special. I can imagine on special days you'll unwrap it from it's protective wrapping and let your little princess try it on. She'll watch you polish it with fascination. She'll dream of when she can wear it to her wedding herself... so not only have you had something unique made for yourself, you've possibly started a tradition that will be handed down from generation to generation.

I can hardly wait for pictures! What's the date?

I REQUIRE a daughter. I have been saving jewelry for her practically my entire life! Or I need a boy that appreciates jewelry.

also that thought was very sweet, thank you so much for the kind words.

I'll try!

I decorated over 600 pieces of stemware (hand painted moroccan style) and about 300 vases/tealight holders and other decor. And I am cooking all the food myself. This week has been super busy but i know it will be great!

Re: Nontraditional bridal headpiece - Silver, pearls and flo

YOU are cooking the food for your wedding? Incredible. Please give yourself time to enjoy the actual day.

I take it the centre stone, an Aventurine cabochon is missing in the pic?

I like it as it has clean lines and not overtly fussy as some of the ones I have seen.

Thanks for sharing.

Omg congrats!!! Hope your day turns out perfect, and if it doesn't, stay cool and remember to enjoy the day. So exciting right?

If it rains, you are in luck. If a bird poops on you, you are in luck.

In other words, any "bad" thing that may happen is an omen for a long happy life together! Have a blast and come back to us with tons of pictures!!!

 

[ckrickett]

Re: Nontraditional bridal headpiece - Silver, pearls and flo

Yeah so close! Today is "Syrup day", a day in which I cook all the syrups for the various recipes. like the spiced sangria, peppermint syrup,, syrup for the hot butter beer, and a personal favorite raspberry bay syrup for our cheese tarts for cocktail hour!
