New Fall Bridal Accessories

I decide to move forward and come up with a new Fall line of bridal accessories for my Etsy shop. This is what you will be seeing a lot more of: bridal sashes with coordinating shoe clips and hair flowers. This is the first one in an ivory and soft wheat gold and sits on a ivory satin ribbon. I really like the way it turned out. I am in the process of creating more in different colors to be added to FancieStrands soon. What do you think?
