Ivory Hydrangea & Pearl Hair Comb — Handmade Bridal Hairpiece

• One piece instead of a scattering — at 9 cm the arrangement finishes the back of an updo on its own, where smaller pieces need three or four of them to read at all.
• Built flower by flower — every hydrangea head and every miniature rose is made individually before assembly, which is what the size and the price account for.
• Weightless against the head — foam blooms mean a full arrangement you stop noticing within the hour.
• Two materials, each doing its job — foam for the hydrangeas, so they stay soft and light; polymer clay for the roses, so the small petals hold their shape.
• Ivory that works on any hair colour — chosen to read clearly against blonde and dark hair alike.
• Secure silver comb base — an 8 cm metal comb holds in thick and fine hair, and sits flat enough to disappear under the flowers.
• Won't wilt — the same on your fifth anniversary as on the morning it arrived.
• Not only for the bride — it suits bridesmaids, flower girls and a summer outfit that has nothing to do with a wedding.
• A keepsake — made to be kept, not worn once.
• Handmade in London — made in a studio, by hand, start to finish.

At the back of a low chignon
Slide the comb in just above the bun, teeth pointing down, so the flowers sit over the join. This is the placement the 9 cm size was designed around.

To one side of an updo
Set it at an angle behind one ear rather than centrally. Asymmetry keeps a large piece from looking formal and makes it read as a posy rather than a headpiece.

With a half-up style
Place it where the twist is secured. It covers the mechanics of the hairstyle and gives the back of your head something to be photographed.

Beneath a veil
Fit the veil first, then the comb below it, so the comb can be taken out at the reception without disturbing your hair. Fine tulle only — a beaded edge will catch on the petals.

For bridesmaids and flower girls
The same comb across the group reads as a set in photographs, whatever their hairstyles. Message us before ordering if you need several and we'll plan the timings together.

These blooms won't wilt, and a little care keeps the ivory exactly as it arrived.

• Hairspray before the comb goes in, never after.
• Hold the comb by its silver base as it slides in, and avoid pressing on the petals.
• Keep it away from fire, heat and hot styling tools.
• Keep it dry: shelter it from heavy rain and take it off before swimming.
• Remove it by sliding it out along the hair rather than lifting it away.
• Store it in its own box, away from heavier jewellery.
• Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth if it needs it.
