    i've been going around and around in circles trying to figure out what to put in my hair for my wedding.  my dress is super simple (the jcrew sophia), so i want to really do it up with my hair.  so far, i've seen several options (thank goodness for etsy!).

    1) feather fascinator - http://loboheme.etsy.com or http://portobello.etsy.com

    2) silk flower w/ brooch - http://brasspaperclip.etsy.com

    3) kanzashi - http://atelierkanawa.etsy.com

    4) handmade organic-looking flowers - http://mgmart.etsy.com

    i've seriously considered each and every one of those options.  i'm leaning away from the feathers out of concern it'd look 'western'.  i want something more homemade than the silk flower.  the kanzashi are BEAUTIFUL (i LOVE what this bride did with them: http://theflirtyguide.com/pages_ideas/idea_gown_kimono_ribbon_flowers.html), but won't fit with the rustic farm feel of the wedding.  right now, i'm leaning towards the last.. so beautiful, and diy friendly!

    are you doing a fun piece of art in your hair?  what are your plans?  i'd love more ideas!

    My dress has a lot of sparkle, so I am not doing a huge hairpiece, but I did find this barrette I love from www.jenarichards.com

    I totally agree on the feather thing. I'm not a big fan either.

     I purchased my lovely modern veil at 5eizen on etsy. She also has some more modern designs. Check her out.

    kitty25kat25 - i LOVE that barette.  so sparkly, and yet so vintage.  love it.

    JessicaHayes - i had forgotten about 5eizen (probably because i can't figure out how to say it, hah).  she has some beautiful, modern, clean things.  so fantastic.

    leaver - I totally hear you! There are so many gorgrous options out there. Especially when you want to make a statement with your hair accessory. I think that if you want to continue with a rustic feel then I would also go with the last one. I think that the flower would give a subtle but noticeable dash of color to your hair.

     kitty25kat25 - I love love love the barette it super cute. You can never go wroung with a little Bling!

    Is there a possiblity that you might use more than one option so that you don't have to choose? I think Mrs. Avocado changed her headpiece during her wedding day.

    Good luck!

    I am doing two different hair pieces. One is a sparkly headband with crystals for the ceremony, and the other is a black headband (there are two from Urban Outfitters that I like and I can't decide which one to choose just yet: http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is/image/UrbanOutfitters/15875743_01_b?$prodmain$ or http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is/image/UrbanOutfitters/15633464_01_b?$detailmain$). Switching from the the formal look to the fun look for the reception. So excited.
