Little White Flower with Red Pearls

hair flower -red beads9- Artanis Wedding Lace I have mentioned before that I got the inspiration for lace flowers from the lace edges of Haapsalu Shawls/Scarves. I used the traditional patterns for making the bridal flowers and they came out lovely, elegant and big. After making several big flowers, I thought that it would be nice to have smaller flowers also that you could use with the big flowers in your hairdo, or in bridesmaids/flower girl hairdos. And, then my fantasy just kept going, why not saw the smaller flowers to a wedding dress and have a big one in your hair – wouldn’t that be lovely. Or using the small flowers in the centerpiece, on the cake (too crazy?), in food stations.

So, I looked at the patterns and changed them just a little bit so that I could knit smaller flowers. And, here is the first of them. I also had just brought several bags of small glass beads and I was very excited to use them to bring out the lovely white colour of the flower and also give some other color to the flower to match the wedding colors.

And a special behind the scenes photo 🙂 I used a mirror as a reflector on a cloudy day and when you see the children in pictures looking away it is mostly because looking in the mirror was more interesting than what mom was doing 😀

Natural White Hair Flower with Blue Edge

Bridesmaid accessory - hair flower - Artanis Wedding Lace In the last post there was a white flower with a wide colorful edge. This time I’m going to show you a natural white flower with a narrow blue edge. (something blue 😉 ) To me this flower is one of the most elegant ones I have made, the blue brings out the white beautifully and gives the flower a delicate edge.

Diameter: 11cm/4,3in
Material: soft wool
Color: Natural white with blue edge

Natural White Hair Flower with Reddish Brown Edge

red edge 7The last hair flower I posted was reddish brown. If you want some color but not that much color for your hairdo then you can use a hair flower where the main part is white (natural white in this case) and the edge is colorful. This hair flower has a wide edge but the edge can also be narrower as I’ll show in the next post.

This flower can be used as a bridal accessory but also as a bridesmaid or flower girl accessory.

Diameter 11cm/4,3in
Material: soft wool
Color: natural white with reddish brown edge

Big Reddish Brown Hair Flower

hair accessory - big red flower1.6 - Artanis Wedding Lace I love the color white (and natural white) and I love white wedding accessories. But, in order for white to really shine, other colors need to be there too. And so I came up with different colour hair flowers to match your wedding colors.

The first one I finished is reddish brown. The model is my daughter and here you can see my first timid attempts in product photography. The last three pictures are by Krista Kattel Photography

The diameter of the flower is 11cm/4,3in

Couple of months ago I was knitting the lace edge for another Haapsalu shawl and thinking about what wedding accessories would compliment the shawl. What kind of gown, shoes, hair accessories etc. And then I looked down on my knitting and had a moment of inspiration. Needless to say that this lace edge did not end up as a part of that shawl 🙂 Instead it became the first wedding hair accsessory I made – a lace flower.

I also had been toying with the idea of using beads with Haapsalu lace knitting and so here is one of my favourite hair flowers with light blue beads (something blue 😉 )
