i have a new girl crush. her name is kelly sperbeck and she's the creator, founder, designer, and darling goddess behind k. autumn custom hair florals.
kelly handcrafts gorgeously layered silk douppioni flowery clips accented with delicate touches of feathers and gemstones. i first spotted kelly's craveable clips at oh joy! when miss joy donned a scarlet k. autumn floral on her wedding day. i bookmarked joy's page and added k. autumn clips to my list of future fashion must haves.
well, the future has come, poodles. i'm getting hitched, so i figure it's the perfect excuse to wear a fancy floral.
i met k. autumn's kelly during a recent visit to the bay area, and not only did i
discover that miss kelly is ridiculously talented and inspirational, but she's
also beyond nice and groovy cool...

and cute, too, yes?
kelly was in the process of moving her studio, so we met at her friend's
photography suite. here, i found a garden of k. autumn's
fabulous flowers perched upon plushy little poufs, begging to be
modeled. i even fished through k. autums's colorful collection of
gemstones...

i also got a peek at some of kelly's up-and-coming designs such as the ballerina pink triple flower (below right).

next, came the temptation of the veil. one reason why i wanted a hair floral is because i'm not really a veil kind of gal. nonetheless, i tried one on per my mom's wishes.

putting my mug in a birdcage veil confirmed my complete inability to walk or think
with a net over my face. don't get me wrong, i think birdcages
are fab, but they leave me void of coordination. plus, they
make me feel a little, well...caged.

i can't wait to wear my feathery little flower on the day i become a dynamic duo! i'm not going to tell you which one i picked, though. you'll have to wait and see.
however, here's a little hint:

goes perfectly with my shoes, not to mention my wiglet.
kelly's got her work cut out for her!
