When Nick got married last year, my initial plan was to make a tiara for my sis-in-law for her daytime outfit and a hair vine to go with her night outfit. Well, the tiara was a pain enough to make cuz to start off, I couldn't find an Alice band and ended up hammering one myself out of o.8mm wire. It turned out great but would have saved some work there since it was a very last minute thing. Well, it wasn't a last minute wedding! Neither did I decided at the eleventh hour to make her one. Just put it as 'procrastination is the root of all evil'! :P I think I almost had an anxiety attack back then. Like seriously, dateline was so close already and it was something I've never done before AND it was supposed to be THE most important day of a person's lifetime! Can you just imagine that? I cringe even at the thought I might remotely screw it up!
Sis-in-law was on the phone when this pic was taken. Ahaks! XPWell, anyway, the tiara turned and the rest of the jewelleries turn out fine. The spoiler? The hair vines. I got it wrong!! And it was too late to redo already. So, my sis-in-law ended up using the ones from the make up artist. Although she was nice enough to still use it but it was so 'wrong' that it got covered up by the makeup artist's. Bleh!
But I knew where I went wrong. With hair vines, I think you have the tendency to be carried away twisting the wires ESPECIALLY when all guidance I could find was only in words and boy, have I got to use my imagination!
I dun think hair vines are very popular bridal hair piece in Malaysia. I think I see more of tiara than anything else. Even the tiaras look kinda barbie-ish...with all the silver and rhinestones. So...... blah! Where's the crystal and pearls? But then I guess it's not a trend in M'sia to use hair vines.
But they are just so easy to make! Well, the basic principle is the same in which you can build up on for more glamourous pieces.
Hair vines are easy and inexpensive to make and so easy and versatile to wear! Wear a short one on top of chignon or braid a long one with the hait. Shape and wear them however you want!
