I remember using lots of these in bridal headbands with silk ribbons with matching bouquets in the lat 60's - getting close to vintage style now. I even wore it as my bridal headpiece in 73.  Oh O! now showing my age.

I added those to my 1987 headpiece, along side drop pearls, tulle and machined scalloped edges. My first bridal piece.

I think this would be beautiful on an asymmetrical 1920s style hat with the blossoms pointing down.  Or perhaps draping over the side of one of my western derby style bridal hats.

When I saw this picture of the Lily of the Valley it reminded me of a hat I made using a small bomb shaped block with four bunches of the flowers covering the green net shape. It was worn on the back of the head. Very 60's! Evelyne

You will love the use of fabric and lace, all before the era of sinamay.

Not quite vintage - My first business in Central Queensland 1974 .. O those were the days that I actually made long Cathedral Veils, Waltz Veils all with the blushing veil and full bonnet headpieces full of ruching silk, pearls and flowers. My lounge was always filled with tulle, silk, crepe, chiffon,voiles ribbons and flowers..
