something 'blue'

Some people don't like the color blue. We really shouldn't try to force them. As it is, a bride I know who is 77 days from her vows doesn't like the color blue much, either. She loves color in general, but when it comes to blue.... Well, let's just say it doesn't blow her away like Plum.

As I was plotting and planning out her something new/blue it donned on me that it wouldn't be as fun for someone who is a) not the most traditional bride and b) not a fan of blue. What to do?

I decided to make her something 'blue.' I spent somewhere between 11 and 80 hours on a hair flower (terms like hair piece and hair pin seemed underwhelming) just for her. It was inspired by her dress, and matches without being matchy-matchy. I may have giggled a few times as the pieces came together, as the rhinestones and silver seed beads were set in place. How delightful can lace and silk and tulle and sparkling crystals be? Most delightful.

What was the something? I embroidered the word 'Blue' in cursive with silver thread. It is hidden on the back of the hair flower on silk faille the color of eggshell.

It is a little something, and it is a little blue.
