I finally decided how I want to wear my hair for my wedding in July. For a while I thought I’d wear it down and flowy, but then I came back down to earth and realized that it’s going to be July and humid as hell. So, I’m wearing it up and messy with a gorgeous handmade flower, custom made by ohmydeer.
Ohmydeer is Chelsea Petaja. She makes super feminine and fabulous floral headbands, hair clips, and more. Especially when it comes to wedding fashions, there is just a sea of predictable, generic crap out there- so it’s great to come across some bridal accents that don’t look like they came from Claire’s Accessories.
I sent Chelsea a picture of my wedding dress and a couple of links to items in her store that I liked and she wrote me back with suggestions about what type of piece would best suit what I was looking for. I didn’t have to do much, her suggestions were pretty much on the money, and I couldn’t be happier.
I love love love buying handmade and supporting small businesses, especially when the products are 100 times better than the mass produced goods I could buy at a department store.
Check out ohmydeer on Etsy- and p.s. the pieces aren’t exclusively for weddings, many of the pieces are very versatile and could definitely be worn time and time again. So bride or not, take a look…and let me know if you don’t love it.
