I professed my vendor crush on Twigs & Honey a while back, and had such a great experience working with Myra, who created the beautiful flower for my hair that you see above. I first contacted Myra and was looking for some hair flair that I could wear at our reception, once I wouldn't be wearing my veil anymore. I asked her to include some teal to go along with our teal and moss color palette, and I sent her a swatch of the bridesmaid's dresses to match. She did EXACTLY what I asked for.... the only problem? I changed my mind!

This is the first flower that Myra created for me, exactly as I asked for

After she sent me a photo of the teal and white flower, I had this gut feeling that it just wasn't going to work with my wedding day ensemble, but I felt terrible because we had had several conversations about what I was looking for, and she listened to every. single. request.

Eventually, I got up the gall to email her and tell her that I loved the piece, but I was afraid it was no longer what I wanted... I begged for forgiveness, and asked her if she could put a safety pin on the back of the teal flower (so I could still use it as an accessory on my clutch purse), and create a new, all white/ivory/champagne flower for my hair. She was beyond understanding and sweet about it, and whipped up another beautiful creation for me.

Much more "me"!

I loved the second flower so much that I decided to wear it all day, not just at the reception. It looked really beautiful under my veil (and I was inspired by Mrs. Tiramisu, after I saw how pretty her flower looked tucked under her veil).

The teal flower also managed to spruce up the cheapie $15 clutch I had gotten at a no-name jewelry store in NYC.

I highly recommend working with Myra if you're looking for a unique hair accessory (or anything else, really — she does it all!). Just contact her early as she is a very, very busy lady in high demand!
