My Fabulous Etsy Find

15 July 2009

About a month before the wedding, I began a mad search for the perfect hair flower to wear at the reception. I am not sure why I waited so long. Oh yeah, I procrastinated. Anyway, my wedding hair stylist had previously warned me that fresh flowers might wilt. So, I jumped on good 'ol Etsy.com and tried my hand at finding a flower hair fascinator.

I knew exactly what I was looking for; something romantic, beautiful, whimsy, and (yes) affordable. My goal was to find something under $40. I got lucky and stumbled across the gorgeous creations of Aundrea and Erin. I was instantly sold!

Aundrea and Erin are beautiful and super sweet twin sisters from Kansas City whose Etsy shop, MeadowBelleMarket, showcases their talents in creating jewelry, flowers, and accessories.

Here is just some of their floral goodness:

Buttercream Peony

Peach Poppy with Pearl and Glass Beads

Petite Peony, Pretty in Pink

Petite Cream and Sugar Peony


Aren't their flowers dreamy? The last fascinator is the custom flower I wore at my wedding!!

Both Erin and Aundrea are complete gems to work with. They were so accommodating, professional, and nice! We exchanged a lot of messages in order to perfectly customize my flower. I was so pleased with the final result. Seriously, my most pleasant Etsy experience to date. :)

Are you planning to wear a flower in your hair at your wedding?

Don't feel bad about waiting to the last minute. ;) When I got married, I didn't buy my jewlery (his ring aside) until 2 days before the wedding!
