How can the headpiece be worn after the wedding?

Mary Clary Bridal Designs

Some headpiece companies offer the prospect of either remaking your headpiece into jewelry that can be worn after the wedding or the possibility of wearing the tiara around the neck after the wedding.  I have found that initially many brides find this idea appealing as their practical side takes over.  This practicality doesn't usually last long.  Most aspects of the wedding are chosen by taste, love, and that once in a lifetime dream fulfillment.
The choosing of the headpiece should be based on all of the above mentioned aspects.  If the headpiece of your dreams is a convertible headpiece, that could be good.  However, most brides want to keep their headpiece in tact as a cherished memory of their wedding.
If you do go the route of convertible, be sure that the company that reworks your headpiece uses a fine quality clasp and considers your design preferences.  Unfortunately, many of the companies that offer this service, simply string the pearls and crystals and finish it with a very ordinary metal clasp.  You really have to conside

r if you would ever wear this reworked piece as jewelry anyway.
The other option is the tiara that is supposed to work as a necklace after the wedding.  Usually these pieces are uncomfortable and questionable in taste.
Mary Clary Designs offers both of these options with tasteful, beautiful designs that pay attention to all aspects of detail and quality.  If your choice is to wear your headpiece as jewelry after the wedding, we will work with you to make that dream come true.

"I am not completely happy with the headpiece my aunt gave me to wear"

     If you were given a headpiece that is truly beautiful and you love it, but it is missing some stones, and just needs a tweek here and there, you can have a headpiece designer fix it for you.  If the designer is experienced and good, she or he can replace stones, and straighten out any imperfection. 
     If you were given a headpiece or found a vintage piece that you love in certain ways, but you would prefer the components redesigned, a competent headpiece designer can also accomplish that for you.  The key word here is "competent".  You want someone who really knows what they are doing to rework your headpiece. 
     If you have just one component from a previously used headpiece that you love and would like to incorporate just the component into your headpiece, it can definitely be accomplished by using a headpiece designer who specializes in custom work.
    I love to design new headpieces and to work on older ones to bring them up to perfection.  Some of the most interesting unique and beautiful pieces are comprised of the foundation being the "given" headpiece with embellishments from many other sources.

Finding the Right Headpiece for Fine Hair

Mary Clary Bridal Designs

If your hair is very thin and/or fine, and a comb or hairpin would just slide out, there are ways to get around this. Instead of a hairpin or comb, a beautiful vintage or modern sparkly design on a bobby pin or tiny clip will work better for you. The secret is to make the design very light and airy. If you have your heart set on a comb, be sure that the comb has very fine teeth that can be anchored with additional bobby pins. If you have always wanted to wear a tiara on your wedding day, I recommend a tight fitting headband instead.  It can have the same feeling as a tiara, but will hold better if your hair is very fine. I love to work with you to create exactly what you need and want. Check out my designs at www.maryclarydesign.etsy.com. All of our designs can be altered to work in any type of hair.
