Homemade Wedding Hairpieces
The average wedding costs around $5000 to $10,000. This is why some brides decide to save some money by doing certain cost cutting measures, such as making their own invitations, flower arrangements, having a DJ instead of a band, having a friend video the ceremony, or making her own hairpiece.
Some unique ideas for wedding hairpieces are inexpensive to make and even a novice can follow the directions and make a classically beautiful design. By following a few guidelines the entire wedding will ask where the hairpiece was purchased.
- Flower hairpieces are popular with many brides. The flowers can be silk or fresh in the hairpiece. This hairpiece is attached to a comb, barrette, or hair clip. Simply select the flowers to use and use floral wire for fresh flowers or hot glue for silk flowers to attach it to the clip. If you are using fresh flowers select smaller flowers and coordinate with the colors of the wedding.
- Pearl hairpieces add an elegant touch to the bride’s attire. Whether using a strand of pearls as a headpiece or creating an elegant arrangement with the pearls will offer a beautiful accessory. If you want to create a pearl headband, take a strand of pearls about 24-inches long and secure floral wire through the pearls to connect the band. You can use bobby pins to attach the headband securely to the bride’s hair. If an arrangement is the way you decide to go, then attach to pearl arrangement to a hair comb using floral wire and hot glue.
- Beaded hairpieces are another option for a bride’s special day. You can purchase special beads from a local arts and crafts store. Coordinate the colors of the bead with colors used for the wedding. After you decide how you will arrange the beads use jewelry wire to secure the design. Attach the design to a hair comb, or clip using hot glue or wire.
