The Nouveau-themed shoot took place in the Tea Room of the Prince George Ballroom in midtown — and as always, we had a blast coordinating inspired looks that were indicative of the era, without appearing too costumed or dated. We’ll touch base with more from the shoot in a few weeks {including some great behind-the-scenes shots and additional, unpublished looks}! But in the meantime, we wanted to share a detailed step-by-step for the fun “No Sew Bridal Headband” Merci New York created for the bride’s look. This edgy-glam design translates far beyond bridal and is just so easy to create… 
Suppliesplain, unadorned flat metal headband
one yard neutrally toned grosgrain ribbon
two yards gold metallic netting
white millinery feathers
fabric glue
Instructions1. Beginning at the base of the headband, tightly wrap the neutral grosgrain ribbon up the band, working on the diagonal. Finish by securing the remaining grosgrain around the base with a touch of fabric glue.
2. Craft the netted “florette” by pinching and twisting the metallic netting approximately every four inches, as shown in photo.
3. Secure the florette to the grosgrain band by tying a second piece of netting around the center of the florette.
4. Affix a tiny drop of fabric glue to the base of about four or five millinery feathers. Place feathers amid the gaps of the florette by lacing the stems in and out of the metallic netting, as shown in photo. Wear your headband and look fabulously chic!
