Glorious bride Hannah & how to order a bespoke bridal headpiece!

It was an utter delight to work with April bride Hannah earlier this year, and the process we went through to reach her completed hair accessory makes the perfect blog piece for brides-to-be unsure of how to approach their accessory buying.

Hannah first got in contact with me on via email, having heard my hair accessories discussed on Capital FM Manchester, by another of my brides-to-be!

Hannah had a very clear idea of the kind of hair accessory she wanted and helpfully sent me a handful of images from Pinterest (what did we do before Pinterest?), showcasing the look she wanted. We spoke on the phone, and Hannah described her dress; pinpointed that she wanted leaves in her tiara, and that she wanted her accessory to have a 'vintage feel'.

Hannah shared her budget with me, the date of her wedding and when she'd ideally like to take delivery of her hair accessory, and I went away to work up some ideas.

Having shared a number of images of fledgling design styles with Hannah, we settled on the look she liked, featuring crystal navettes, ivory potato pearls, and diamante leaves.

I kept Hannah posted with the progress of her design, sending her images and giving her the chance to comment and make any last minute changes.

Hannah notified me of her tiara's arrival with the wonderful message: 'It's arrived and it's perfect'! Just what every designer wants to hear!

So, why did the process work so well?

  • Hannah had a clear idea of the theme she wanted her accessory to compliment.
  • She discussed looks and shared ideas she liked.
  • She knew how much she wanted to spend and was happy to share her budget with me.
  • She was honest about the designs she didn't like, which enabled me to get to the one that she did!
  • She allowed plenty of time for the design process to happen, contacting me 8 weeks ahead of her wedding.
  • She was lovely!
And I think you'll agree, Hannah looks amazing in her bespoke Audrey tiara!!!
