A Little Undecided

My DIY hairpiece is taking shape, and I'm a little iffy on it. Maybe the beads are too thin? Maybe I need them to be a little more substantial? I don't know. It cost me ony a few dollars and an hour to make, so it's not a big deal, but still...

Pics behind the cut.

it's pretty, but it does seem a little spare compared to the dress. Maybe if you filled in the petals with something like small white feathers? What did you make it out of? I'm always partial to medium size silk flowers in the hair, myself... that's what I'll be doing w/ the veil.

i was going for more spare because the dress is so elaborate, and i'm planning to wear a long-ish veil. it is just some jewelry wire and small pink beads. i think maybe it's that the petals are too big? maybe it needs leaves? or with your suggestion of small white feathers...

well, i know what you mean about not wanting to be over the top, but yeah, some tweaking would be good. Your idea of making the petals smaller is a good one. I'm not a big fan of leaves, like, ever (not having them in the bouquets) but whatever works for you! I can show you how we used feathers in my hairpiece/veil.
