Custom Bridal Headpiece - Couture Orchid Flower Fascinator Set with Veil

This week I was asked to create an orchid hair flower set with veil.  Orchid flowers are a beautiful choice to wear in your hair and they come in so many colors and styles that you are sure to find one that matches your wedding gown and theme. 

I can create a custom bridal hair clip that uses any type of flower.  I will hand cut silk fabric and other materials and shape roses using vintage millinery tools and techniques, for example.  With orchids I typically use high quality silk flowers to create the headpiece, since the stamen shape and form is so unique in an orchid. 

A bride asked me to create an orchid hair flower set with bandeau birdcage veil.  She wanted her orchid hair flowers to match her lavender and purple wedding colors with yellow accents.  The first set we created was in a light lavender orchid flower on a base of ivory feathers with marigold yellow accents to match wedding colors.  However, the color didn't seem quite right, so we made a second set, this time in a much richer and deeper purple, burgundy, and lavender hue.  Here are the two variations I made:

Orchid Headpiece Options with Different Small Clips for Bandeau Birdcage Veil


Orchid Fascinators with Birdcage Veil


Orchid Hair Flower Options


Final Design: Purple Orchids on Purple and Burgundy Feather Base


I can create bridal orchid hair flowers using any color orchids, of course.  Any accents can be used in the center of your orchid, such as a pearl or crystal accent, or you may leave them plain.

Orchid fascinators can be made on small clips or combs, or they may be incorporated into a larger orchid flower fascinator.
