Exciting news!

Meet Odette, the latest addition to my bridal range. Over 100 feathers, all hand trimmed, attached to a handmade wire hairband. Some of the feathers have been sprayed with a silver lace pattern, some have had the tips sprayed silver and some have tiny diamantés applied to the spine.
Very labour intensive but I think the final result is worth my kitchen being covered in bits of feather!
This is available to purchase from my Etsy shop, details above, or dm me if you’d like it in another colour
