1 Shoeclips
Shoeclips are a neat little invention that allow you to clip a flower to your flip flops, to your cute sparkly flats or to dress up those plain pumps. You can even use the clip on other items like purses (but more on that later).

2 Jewelry
Pin or clip your flower to an existing necklace or bracelet. Pearls work well, but again the possibilities are endless depending on your jewelry collection. Be creative and play around. This allows you to customize to make a unique look that no one else will be sporting!

3 Purse
Jazz up your purse, handbag or clutch by pinning or clipping your flower to it. Maybe you want your purse to be understated during the day, but you are going out at night and want to spice it up a bit... add the flower and you have the perfect flirty accessory. When you add your flower accessory to your wallet - it is no longer a wallet, now it doubles as a clutch!

4 Cardigan
Clip or pin your flower to your favorite cardigan. This can take an ordinary cardigan and make it really stand out... this is especially true if you have on a lot of basic pieces or if you are trying to tie a bunch of different pieces together into a unified look.

5 Cardigan Zig-Zag
This puts a great spin on a classic item. Take a cardigan or item that zips, buttons, or clasps down the center and grab both sides (while you are wearing it) and criss-cross the two pulling one end behind and the other side in front. Keep pulling until you get the desired look and then hold the cardigan in place while you pin it together (both layers, so they stay put). Then pin/clip your flower in place. Great for accentuating your waist and creating an hourglass shape.

Take your standard covered headband... you know the ones that are plastic, but they've been covered in patterned/colored material and they are usually 1-2" wide and clip your flower from the back side (so the clip is not showing from the front).

This is pretty basic, pin or clip your flower onto a lace headband. If you have a flower pin you can weave the pin through the headband to make it more secure.

Pin or clip your flower onto a crochet headband. Again if it is a flower pin you can weave it through the headband to make it more secure. You can also wear this headband lower, around your forehead for a flapper costume or vintage feel.

Clip or pin your flower accessory to a metal headband. Best part about these headbands - they go with almost anything! Just make sure to go with a high quality metal headband, because it makes a HUGE difference. I recommend nickel-free as it is higher quality metal (bonus - it's hypoallergenic).

Clip your floral accessory directly into your wavy curls, or oh-so-cute updo. Why this works so well? It's easy peasy lemon squeezy. You have hair (unless you've recently gone Britney on us) and it can make your whole outfit look polished and well thought-out.

Clip or pin the floral accessories to your bridesmaids dresses to make them fun and unique. Go matchy, matchy with the same flowers for all, or change it up and do the same color palette or same style and different colors.

This is obviously similar to bridesmaids dresses with your options, but perhaps your bridesmaids dresses are too busy or you want the focus to be in the hair and away from the flowers in the bridal bouquets. Whatever your choice, this is a great option and can be fun if it plays off an accessory the bride has that coordinates.
