Tiaras...these are suited to most brides and can be worn whether you intend to wear your hair down or up, curly or straight, with or without a veil - they are worn towards the front of the head and mine are all made on a flexible wire band with loops at the end so you have the choice to fix yours in with hairgrips if you feel you should need to - however, with the band being flexible, you will be able to bend it gently to the shape of your own head and it (should) stay put, comfortably, for the whole day.
Coronets are basically small crowns, a circular band onto which the design is wired all the way round. Lighter and more delicate than crowns, they are generally worn on the top of the head, often being used to encircle swept up hair. If you intend to wear a veil with your coronet, attach it to the back of the coronet and let it fall down your back. Also ideal for bridesmaids if the bride wears a crown, and of course, if you see a coronet that you like, I can make you a crown to match, and vice versa - please just ask for details!
Crowns are bigger and grander than coronets - again, circular
bands on which the design sits and continues all round the band, they can
be worn with hair down or up, but are probably easiest worn with it up
as you will then have something to attach your
crown to.
Hairgrips or pins - I can make hairgrips to match most designs, and these could be worn instead of a tiara or as an additional accent - I supply them either in groups of five for the smaller ones or in ones for the larger work which can be worn as a chignon or bun pin - perfect for understated elegance, civil weddings and for bridesmaids, these grips or pins will give your hair that final sparkle! I have recently made up some lovely pins in the shape of butterflies and dragonflies, and these could be matched to your colour schemes.
Combs or Slides - these are the combs that attach to hair with 'teeth' and again, I can make combs or slides to match most styles of tiara, crowns or coronets - for an example see 'Becky' hair slide/comb in the photographs.
Hairwraps - I am always delighted to make up a length of 'invisible' wire containing a selection of beads and crystals used in your tiara, crown or coronet, for you to wind into your hair to give that extra sparkle - many of 'my' brides wear these wrapped in the back of their hair in place of a veil, and it gives people something to look at when they are looking at the back of your head! Prices start from £20.00, dependent on the length and complexity of the piece.
Other Ideas - I am always happy to make up items like circlets that wind round the head for a more close fitting style, which can look incredibly pretty, or head-dresses which are silk flowers and beads wired into a circle with ribbons - if you have something special in mind, I am quite open to suggestions, and happy to work along with you!
