My wedding isn’t until Winter Solstice of this year but
slowly aspects are coming together to make the wedding very “me”. Since we’re
getting married in a small private ceremony with only a few friends, there
really isn’t much that I need to keep secret in order to surprise guests. The
only thing that I’m not really sharing much of is my dress since my fella wants
to be surprised. He knows that it’s red; he knows that I’ll have a black veil
with bats; and, he’s seen the shoes. Earlier today, I even sent him pictures of
these exciting creations that arrived today!
These are by Lisa at MiaettiaCreations’ on
Etsy. I had seen some of her Custom Wedding Hair Clips & Boutonnieres on
Off Beat Bride and on Pinterest. She makes these beautifully elaborate hair
pieces out of paper. Most of her creations are flowers. Her spider
originally caught my eye and I added it as a favorite on Etsy. She also has
some dark flowers with poetry
by Edgar A. Poe. Her Dia
Los Muertos Wedding hair clip skull caught my eye and after that I knew I
needed a custom order. This morning they arrived and they are perfect!
I ordered two hair clips for my best friend and me,
and a boutonniere for my best man. I’m not sure how I’m wearing my hair clip
just yet because I have a veil with bats but I knew this was the perfect
keepsake for my wedding. I have to admit that while it is a Winter Solstice
themed wedding, I am bringing a bit more Christmas spirit to it. I made a
Christmas ornament bouquet that I think turned out beautifully considering I
had no idea what I was doing.
Lisa included a Harold Pinter poem
around the edge. I think it resonates with my relationship.
"I know the place.
It is true.
Everything we do
Corrects the space
Between death and me
And you.”
~ Harold Pinter
