Flowers have always played a role in decoration for weddings so I’ve been meaning to create a crystal wedding flower for quite a while, but all my other bespoke orders took priority. So when I was asked to create a large crystal flower as a bespoke bridal accessory for a particular bride, it gave me an opportunity to create one for the site. I’ve previously tried and failed in creating the perfect base for the flower from wire using different techniques. I tried to create each petal equal, but doing this free hand is almost impossible. But it while I was brain storming different techniques, it occurred to me that I already had the correct equipment to make a perfect flower with identical shaped petals. So that was my first obstacle passed and now I had my basic flower shape.
The bride in question had emailed me a few photos of designs that she liked so I knew she wanted crystals along the middle of the flower running along the length of the petal, she’d also told me that she wanted to wear the flower to the side of a bun so I knew the comb needed to be attached to the flower on an angle. You can see the finished design below.
Swarovski crystals are alternated with tiny silver seed beads to give extra sparkle on this Crystal Wedding Flower comb while keeping the cost as low as possible.
I’d promised that I would email the bride to be as soon as it was available to buy on the site and she sent the flowing response:
“Kerrie,
I love it! It’s PERFECT!
Just what wanted. I’ve bought it! I want it now!
All work stopped here for everyone to come and see it because I let out an excited noise! haha
Thank you so much for all your help, you’re a star. I will defiantly recommend you in the future.”
So now the crystal flower here is currently in the postal system winging its way to her, I hope she likes it just as much when she gets to hold it in her hands.
This flower is perfect if you’re wearing your hair in a bun but will look pretty against any structured up do. It’s available in clear Swarovski crystal and silver as standard but if you want to add any more colours into it, you only need to ask.
