Trade in Your Veil for a (Gorgeous!) Nature Inspired Headband

When Brooke Mueller married Charlie Sheen the happy couple threw an intimate, nature-inspired spring wedding. Mueller wore an ivory Reem Acra gown with a headdress made of twigs and woven wildflowers -- a smart hair accessory pick for the bride looking to add a touch of a nature to her wedding day look, that will also double as a show-stopping accessory. For no more than (or maybe even less than!) what you might pay for that fancy veil you've been eyeing you can have a faux or real floral headband designed to match your dress or wedding style.

We love this custom version of the Woodland Headband from Twigs & Honey, an online boutique run by an accessory designer in Salem-Portland Oregon, and a popular favorite on Etsy. This headband is adorned with gorgeous silk flowers, and we think it would go perfectly with gorgeous garden wedding details, don't you? And, if you love it, but were hoping to stick to an all-white ensemble, check out this lovely made to order version (right), made with silk taffeta petals, goose biots, goose nagoire feather, millinery flowers, stamens, beads, tulle, and alencon lace sewn onto a hand wrapped satin covered headband -- available online now for just $80. (Um, what a fabulous deal!)
