A selection of different vintage bridal flowers that can be added to any garment.  These were used on my daughter's 1st Communion dress.  The same type of vintage flowers were also used on her crown that she wore for the celebration day. (pics of that will be on the site, soon)...prices of these vary (size, materials, amount, etc)  Vintage Bridal hair accessories

Full view of dress with vintage satin ribbon flowers.
This is my daughter's 1st Communion dress.  The closeups show the details very well.  The largevintage flower is on the bottom of the dress (right side of picture). Price per flower really depends on the amount of flowers added to the garment.  This particular size job with the type of ribbon used, price would be ~$75. 
A slightly more modern feel to the vintage bridal look, especially with the amber colored beads.

Headband.  (Fascinator option):  individual flowers can be attached to hairstyle with mini hair clips or alligator clips.  Flowers would be attached to a veil or snood.  This piece was recently ordered by a member of our military.  She had the fantastic idea of incorporating some black flowers so that the piece would tie into her black dress.  (For a Christmas party, 2009).

Fascinators.
These are very dainty, little ribbon flowers that can be used separately and I usually incorporate them into designs.  Multi-petaled flowers, knots of ribbon surrounded by little circles of tulle/lace can be attached to hair in random areas for a very contemporary, delicate look. These actually are attached to a hair accessory that spins into the hair.  Swarovski crystals can be used as well.  These shown are not Swarovski crystals, which is a less expensive and still a beautiful piece without the price.
$5 - $7/pc.
 
these pieces are ~ 1.25" in diameter/ea
