Ivory Hydrangea Side Headband — Handmade Bridal & Bridesmaid

• The piece that lets everyone else be in the photographs — same flower as the bride's, visibly less of it. Connected, not matched, and no accidental competition in the group shots.
• Asymmetric by design — flowers to one side read as tucked in rather than worn on top. This is the difference between elegant and dressed-up, and it is why it suits mothers of the bride.
• A 3 mm band, deliberately — fine enough to disappear into the hair and comfortable through the speeches, the dinner and the dancing.
• Silk, not plastic, against your head — the base is wrapped in silk ribbon rather than left bare.
• Feather-light — foam blooms mean you forget it is there within the hour.
• Holds in thick and curly hair — it grips without pins and stays where your stylist puts it.
• Luminous against dark hair — if you have been told floral pieces vanish on brunettes, this one does the opposite.
• Not only for weddings — engagement shoots, christenings, garden parties, race days.
• Handmade in London — shaped, assembled and packed by hand in our own studio.

For the mother of the bride
Worn low at one side with a soft chignon or a sleek bob. It gives you something in the photographs without putting you in a hat, which is the problem most mothers of the bride are actually trying to solve.

For bridesmaids, as a group
All worn on the same side, so the group reads as deliberate in the photographs rather than as several people who each chose something. Three or more qualifies for the discount.

With loose waves
Place the flowers just behind the ear on the side you part towards, and leave the other side clear. Clean on one side, full on the other.

With a half-up style
Set the band so the flowers sit above where the hair is secured. It covers the mechanics of the style and gives the side profile something to look at.

Alongside the bride
If the bride is wearing the full hydrangea crown, this is the piece that echoes it at a lower volume. Same hands, same ivory, no risk of two people arriving in the same headpiece.

Beyond the wedding
Worn with a plain dress at a christening or a summer party, it stops reading as bridal entirely.

These flowers won't wilt and won't fade. A little care keeps the ivory exactly as it arrived.

• Hairspray before the band goes on, never after.
• Hold the band by the silk base rather than by the petals when putting it on.
• A splash or a few tears will not mark it — blot gently with a soft dry cloth.
• Keep it away from fire, heat and hot styling tools.
• Keep it dry beyond the occasional splash: shelter from heavy rain, and take it off before swimming.
• Store it in its Deco Flowers box between wears, and avoid crushing it under anything heavy.
