This is Jenna, my fabulous babysitter and craft helper, and she is headed down the aisle this fall. You may remember her from this 10 ponytail ideas post and the various times she has modeled my wares. Being an old married lady myself, it’s fun to hear about all the planning details (she just found the dress!) while also remembering how crazy the whole planning process is. When David Tutera Bridal sent us a package full of bling we had a blast experimenting with (what else?) hair.
So much bling!
Look at all this sparkly goodness! We loved the brooches – but since I can never figure out how to wear a brooch – we turned them into hair accessories.
Brooch Hair Comb
Remove the brooch backing with pliers or other wire cutters. Then hot glue to a hair comb. This would work great with a family heirloom brooch!
For the hair, we gave it some texture with hair spray, rolled it up and then bobby pinned it death.
Feather flower headband
Jenna is a bit of a bohemian so we loved this look! She’s planning to wear her hair down and somewhat parted in the middle – perfect for wearing a flower. We ripped the feathers off the hair comb (and used it with the brooch) and created a ribbon headband with a hair tie and a glue gun.
Sequin Bobby Pins
This one is perfect for a rehearsal dinner. Take a package of rhinestones, hot glue them to bobby pins, and then adorn your top knot.
Blingy Ponytail Wrap
This stuff is literally called “bling on a roll.” Which is just too fun. If you’re wearing a ponytail to a relaxed bridal shower, why not add some bling? Just cut a piece from the roll, add sticky Velcro and then wrap around your ponytail.
Here’s a recap of the 4 looks. Which is your favorite? How did you wear your hair on your wedding day?

Such pretty ideas. I’m wondering how much I can get away with bling-ing my hair up on an everyday basis now. ;)
p.s. fabulous photography
Aw, thanks Samantha :)
P.S. I’d love to see your big hair!
My hair was very large. But it was the early 90s.
i’ve always wanted long curls for my imaginary wedding hair :)
Beautiful! I wish I had the skill to do hair like this myself…

I like the down-do :) weddings are the best! I bet this was a fun DIY to tackle!
Beautiful Jenna, love them all!
You never cease to amaze me with your cleverness. I would never have thought to do that to a ribbon to make a hair band but it’s brilliant. I’ve never been much of a headband wearer because I have a big head and they usually hurt me but now I can make them no problem! I especially love the blinged up bobby pins. So simple and so much fun.
That brooch hair comb is so pretty, although I love all of your ideas!
What amazing ideas! I love those sequin pins.
These are all so pretty! I think the broach is most “my style.”
Very girly and pretty!
Nice ideas. They all look so pretty. Lucky you to have such an opportunity to peek in at the preparations for a wedding!
Love the pins!!!
Very cute. I love the flower headband.
So pretty! I especially love the first one. It’s so romantic!
