5 out of 5 starsThis headband is GORGEOUS! It is going to be absolutely perfect for my Artemis costume! Just the right blend of Greek Goddess (the side silver laurel leaves) and Moon Goddess (the center crescent moon). Perfection!

5 out of 5 starsThis is very sweet. I thought the picture showing the flowers which drape down the back showed them hanging a little longer than the ones on my wreath. But I have long hair so maybe thats why they seemed shorter. I do love the delicateness of the flowers and the wreath fit my head very well and was comfortable. I would recommend this shop and was very happyI received it as quickly as I did.

5 out of 5 starsI got this crown for my elopement and I couldn’t be more happy with it. I truly felt like a forest goddess in this. The shipping was fast and it was absolutely more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Thank you so much.
About gardensofwhimsy
Gardens of Whimsy
I am a featured seller by Etsy! Check out my interview on the Etsy blog here: https://blog.etsy.com/en/featured-shop-gardens-of-whimsy/
I created Gardens of Whimsy in 2009 and through the years have handcrafted thousands of timeless hair adornments.
I use the finest silk florals and vintage supply to create each piece with care for detail and craftsmanship.
Most of my creations are worn for special occasions, so I put my all into creating pieces that are intricate and long lasting -- that they may even become future heirlooms to pass on if you wish!
Never in my wildest dreams did I think my path would lead me to a life of designing headpieces for a living, but turns out the business I started on a whim many years ago was the very thing that would see me through some of the most trying times in my life. Something many people don't know about me is that I am chronically ill. I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome, Pots, and CFS. I typically am private about this, but I realize it's important to bring awareness and support to so many who suffer from rare and disabling conditions. My heart goes out to you all.
Etsy has given me the chance to work and support myself through my craft and I am eternally grateful for that opportunity.
I thank you for visiting my shop and supporting my small business.
much love,
April

Shop policies
My crowns are made to fit 22" heads, but if you need a different measurement or would like a crown to be split and ribbons added just let me know and I would be happy to accommodate you free of charge!
As for combs, clips, or hair pins please note that these are adornments and work best as an addition to your hair style. They will be much more secure through your day or special event if you pin your hairstyle in place first, then adorn it with your new hair accessories.
CUSTOM ORDERS:
I love doing custom orders! Due to scheduling I only can take on a select number of custom orders each month, but please contact me with any ideas or visions you have!
If I am able to work with you on a custom piece, turn around time is usually 2 weeks.
Please take note that custom orders usually cost slightly more than my set inventory depending upon the amount of time/cost of supply need to create your order.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
I spend a great deal of time crafting each item to be as secure and long lasting as possible, so if you treat your adornments delicately they can last for generations and even become heirlooms!
Store them with care as some fabric florals can fade if left for long periods of time in direct sunlight and be sure to hang your veil someplace safe to avoid creasing or snags. I would recommend using a garment bag to protect your veil.
Wholesale availability
If you are interested in placing a wholesale order please contact me for information on pricing, availability, and production time.
Rush Orders
Please reach out to me before making your purchase if you need an item in a hurry!
If I have the time in my schedule to rush production of your order I am happy to do so.
My standard production time is typically 3-5 business days. If you need an item made and shipped out sooner than that, there is a $15 fee for all crowns, headpieces, and veils. Priority or Express shipping will be required.
