Super pretty find - Twigs and Honey

Sis Maan is really an angel. hahaha. Through her, I came across this really great online store called twigs and honey, which specialzes in accesories for the bride. Since watching the finale of Gossip Girl Season 1 (where Lily got married and had a white flower for hair ornament) , I knew I wanted to have flowers on my hair when I get married. So I was always on the lookout for nice hairpieces in wedding websites, but I never found something that's pretty, chic and laidback enough for me, and for my theme.

Until... I read Maan's blogentry about twigs and honey. It was then that I found the perfect accesory. The prettiest flower for my hair. Its too beautiful for words, so you just have to know that I gasped and almost shed a tear when I saw this piece. I can't fully describe how I felt when I saw it, but some people may refer to it as "orgasmic." Maybe love at first sight holds true for me and pretty things ;) Its the exact color and style that matches the dream gown in my head.

Perfect timing for me to view the blog, since my cousin from Florida is going home this April to get married. I just might ask her (as a favor or pre-wedding gift) to buy it for me. It just sounds more affordable and reasonable in dollars than in peso. I mean, lets get real, brides here don't really spend that much for a hairpiece. But for my wedding day, I think its worth the investment. Besides, I want something from my wedding to be an heirloom piece to my future duaghters and grandchildren. They may not want to wear Lola's wedding gown, but at least they can use something old and pretty for their hair :) Fresh flowers are a no-no since they wilt. I'm also thinking of getting a buttoniere for my fiancee. So that we have a part of our wedding clothes to keep for memorabilia.

Anyway, here are the photos. I know my wedding is seasons away, but I hope I can get my cousin to buy for me. Maybe she should also buy for her own wedding :) I do hope Twigs and Honeys still sell items from last year's collections.

for my pre-nup pictoral, I want this one above. For my wedding day, the choices are below...








for my babe's buttoniere, here is my proposed buttoniere:



And then, I was never really a fan of shrugs (boleros), but the picture below just made me think twice :)


Oh well... Great website, the blog even helped me find the hairstyle that I like. I love all things nice and pretty, so this is really a find for me :)
