Sparkly Wedding Head Band/Tiara Easy DIY

As well as the veil appliqués I wrote about yesterday, I also bought a sparkly head band/tiara to play with the idea of maybe wearing one with my veil.  I'm not sure if I want to sew it to the front of the cap, or just tie it around my hair like a head band.  I even tried to tie it so that it fell across my forehead which I thought was quite nice for a bohemian looking style.

I bought this head band in Accessorize.  It was about £6 in the sale so a real bargain.  Originally it was attached to some black elastic to hold it on the head but I cut that off and sewed some cream ribbon on to it either side of it instead.

I picked this headband as I thought it had a bit of a vintage vibe which suits my dress.  It could be worn with the veil or without for some extra sparkle during the reception.  It's been sewn to the ribbon a bit roughly by me so I might sew something on either side to hide the stitching where I've sewn the ribbon together.

I love that this is so simple and pretty, perfect if I just want to have a hint of sparkle on the day.  With a bit of ribbon it was so easy to transform this head band to a wedding worthy hair accessory!

Pretty pastel things

Hey there,

so you've made it to Friday, phew!  I hope you have some lovely things planned for your weekend.  I have lots of cleaning and sorting out to do as well as some language study.  In the mean time I wanted to share with you a couple more pretty things I was given for my birthday.

One of them was this cute hair band.  I have no idea where it's from but I love the pastel pink colour and the super cute gold bow.  It's very me.  I'm really feeling pastels right now, I suppose because of the start of spring!

I also was given this cute little cake icing set.  I'd been looking for icing bags recently because I had got back in to baking a bit but hadn't got my hold of anything yet so this came at just the right moment!

How perfect is this cake icing set!?  I'm looking forward to decorating some cakes with this soon!  

So far a running theme of girly gifts.  I suppose that's how I must come across.  I didn't really think of myself as a girly girl when I was growing up but something has obviously changed over time!

I have a few more presents to share with you guys soon.

Till next time
