Floral hair accessories, handcrafted by Yelena Smirnova
I specialise in handcrafted floral hair accessories for wedding and occasionwear that range from headpieces, corsages, bracelets, sashes and more.
Each design is unique and bespoke, using the finest natural fabrics, such as silk, organza, velvet and lace.
Each floral accessory takes hours of workmanship to create. Each is made with meticulous precision in a craft based on antique tools. Every single petal, stamen and leaf is sculpted with skill. This is an art form that stretches back over centuries.

I get my inspiration from art, folklore and fairy tales, but the beauty of nature is one of my main sources of inspiration. Looking at a flower, I not only enjoy its beauty but think about how I can create it from fabric.
Constantly experimenting with colours, forms and texture I strive to create new and exciting pieces that stand out for their originality and elegance with a nod to vintage design. Most of my floral hair accessories can be recreated in a fabric and color to match a bride’s wedding dress and accentuate her individuality.
