Headwear, now I know that i'm having my hair down (HIBs)

sherry, 18 March, 2009 at 22:38 Posted on Planning 0 12

What could I have in my hair?

I have an idea of some small goldy/ivory feathers, diamontes type thing on a headband.

Definitely not on a comb as my hair is too thin.

My dress is champagney coloured. A very light airy material.

    My hair is thick so could stand a comb etc. However I still wouldn't have been able to position it etc with my hairdresser it would have fallen out within a couple of hours. Thankfully it stayed in all day and all the evening. I'd have a word with whoever styles your hair normally and ask for their advice as to what your hair could stand.

    I definitely need it on a band, there's no way a comb will stay in and TBH I think I would be more comfortable knowing it is firmly in place.. With a comb i'd be worrying ?

    Hi Sherry,

    I dont work with feathers I'm afraid but do have a crystal and diamante fascinator style band which might be suitable. The design sits to the side on the head and it can be made on a gold band with diamantes and perhaps Golden Shadow crystals. Pearls could be incorporated if they will suit your dress better than crystals or even all diamantes.

    My website is www.louloubelle.co.uk in case you spot something else you like. If none of my current designs are suitable, I also offer a bespoke service working from pictures of your dress etc.

    ? lisaloulou, i'll take a look, i'm pretty sure I want feathers of sorts though as my flowers and bridesmaid flowers have the occasional feather running through it.

    Thanks Sherry x

    I wore this in my hair, maybe a hib could make you something similar in a gold colour? Mine was on a headband and it felt really secure all day.

    Hi,

    I would be able to design a bespoke item for you if you wanted to email me and we can chat further about designs and materials. My website is www.lynseysdesigns.co.uk and email ******@**************.**.**.

    This isn't a good picture I'm afraid but just as a very basic idea as this uses ivory and gold feathers with ivory pearls and golden Swarovski crystals but all of my current designs can be adapted.

    Or maybe an asymmetric tiara like this but incorporating diamontes and feathers

    or

    If you wanted to make sure the materials matched your dress I am happy to send samples of pearls/crystals if you wanted to use these as well as diamontes.

    Hope that helps

    Lynsey x

    Hi

    I don't do much feather work but either try Liz at www.diamondstarhalo.co.uk or Jane at www.perfectjewellery.co.uk

    But if you change your mind and wanted to have something more unusual but sparkly I have quite a few asymmetric designs although they're not on the website at the mo (or I could design one for you as most of my work is one off creations). I am also working with a great textiles designer who makes beautiful silk flowers (more abstract than "real" and intricate leaves which I then built sparkly wirework around. If this is of interest in the future drop me a line at ****@*********.**.** and I'll see what I can come up with for you.

    Hi

    I have a few feather bits on bands or there's a couple on combs that could certainly be adapted onto a band. All can be made in ivory and gold with pearls, crystals or diamante.

    Have a look at this comb http://www.the-jewel-factory.co.uk/products/CB10(2).jpg

    I was thinking something like this ( I think I saved it from ebay a long time ago) with goldy coloured feathers added to it.

    Hello

    I have a few feathery items on my website, and some more in this photobox album too.

    https://www.photobox.co.uk/album/28950430

    Everything is hand made to order so I can add feathers to any item or design something specifically for you.

    This is not a band, but a pin, but thought I'd show you a few different bits that are on there:

    This is a spiral of feather on a barette.

    And here is the link to a feathered comb on my site, which again can easily be incorporated onto a band: https://www.katievaledesigns.com/Combs/Feathered.html

    HTH - feel free to get in touch if you want more info, or if I can design something for you.

    Thanks

    K.

    Monsoon have a white feather head band for 18 pounds and they also have vintage looking diamante clips which could be added to it.

    Hi Sherry

    We work quite a lot in feathers. I don't have a gold one on the site at the moment but we can definately make you something to suit you and your dress. Feel free to have a look on the one-off range we have for ideas https://www.taximystuff.co.uk/oneofftiara.htm

    Just finished a small white one for a show that we are doing ( pic to be added tomorrow), but we do so something like that in gold/ivory.

    Feel free to email me at **************@*****.**.**
