Starfish and Pearl Hairpins by Kalyn Design

A lot of people are having destination weddings these days. And why not? It gives you and your loved ones a chance to get away together and enjoy someplace new. For a lot of inland dwelling couples, the destination of choice is a sandy beach at sunset.

Having a destination wedding, which I did, in New Orleans, LA, can be a lot of fun, but if you, the bride, have to fly there, you need to plan carefully. Most brides bring whole carloads of getting ready supplies to their wedding, so if you can’t (or don’t want to), you have to plan for a smaller, simpler bridal suite setup, and a pared down look.

I love these starfish hairpins for just such an occasion. They are beachy, for sure, and sweet and lovely for a simple updo. Imagine them with a minimal silk sheath gown and a windswept chignon. Perfect. Add lipgloss and you’re basically good to go, or to betrothe, as the case may be. Available for $20 from Kalyn Designs.
