How to Decorate a Bridal Comb
Bridal combs are decorative hair pieces, used to help hair stay in place. Choosing the right bridal comb is important because it will be seen in many of your wedding photos. If you have not found one that you love, or if you simply don't want to pay what the bridal stores are charging, you can purchase an inexpensive comb and decorate it yourself. Quality bridal combs can be made using ornate beads made of crystal or glass.
