Why buy from the PPB?

Ya know... that's just not a tough question. The proof is in the pie.

Just do a google search and look up "boutique bows". I dare you. No! I triple dog dare you! Look around, please! Check out my competition. Now... any bow maiden will tell you that comparing my bows to their bows is like comparing apples to dog biscuits. Yeah, I said it.

Anyone can make a basic four loop bow--whether it's the flat style or the classic boutique loopy style. ANYONE can learn to do this!

But a real boutique style, unique couture hair bow takes more than a knack for folding! It requires a creative imagination, the ability to see past what simple colors are laid out before you. It's the process of taking something ordinary and simple and making it something extraordinary... worthy of such dignified clientele as your diva. It's the ability to put something together in such a way that viewers are left wondering, "How did she do that?" "Where did she start?" "All those colors... man, I never would have considered that." See, that's what separates the PPB from other "boutiques". They so frequently accept praise for single layer 4-loop bows that well... you can buy those anywhere!

But a true piece of art, well, that's better left to Precious Petals Boutique. Go check us out... you'll see the difference!

"Cute boy you got there"

I so often hear people murmur, "Why such a big bow?" and "She never leaves the house without putting a bow on that girl." Well, yea! Afterall, most little girls are simply in love with princesses. Are they not? My two year old daughter flips when she sees a Disney princess anywhere! So... why not give her a bow fit to be worn with all the dignity and grace of a princess's tiara? That's why she wears her bows.

Originally, she started wearing bows because I was sick and tired of little old men telling me what a cute little boy I had there... all dressed in pink with earrings--which she had from the time she was just a few months old. Yes, I was blessed with a beautifully bald baby. There was no way to attach any of the bows I could find to her scalp. At least not anyway that would stick. Hospitals insisted that a "backless" bow with a little K-Y would hold it there. Okay... so I'm supposed to use the same stuff that made making her a smoother process to now hold a bow in her hair. Imagine my confusion... hmm, in the past it made things a little slippery and now it's suddenly "sticky". I didn't quite get the concept but I gave it a go anyway. And, like the countless times I'd used it for others reasons... it proved to be quite the slippery substance. No luck there!

A few months later some sweet little ladies at church were explaining that they'd heard tell of velcro attachments. I thought, "Finally, a lead." Then, after many failed attempts I assumed the only possible way to make that technique work would get me a quick trip to jail. Afterall, someone might have something to say if I chose to adhere the sticky side of the velcro to her head permanently. Again, a no go!

Then, amazingly, someone suggested a headband... something similar to what I had on at that very moment. Then, I heard someone else mention pantyhose... and I started thinking... finally, something that doesn't involve permanent fixtures or adult personal products. I was sold and from that point on... I began selling my headbands.

So... thank you to all the sweet little old men that told me, "That's a cute little boy you got there." Even in her pink dress, pink blanket, and diamond earrings. Thankfully, we didn't hear it anymore after we started wearing the big bows!

HOW TO: Wear a Precious Petals Boutique Bow

Yeah... it seems simple enough right? WRONG! You'd think it's easy... but it's tricky. To keep your child from looking like a gift wrapped box in her bow, let me make a few suggestions!

FOR HEADBANDS

The trick to properly wearing a bow headband is to make sure the bow rests on either side of her, NEVER directly on top. She will end up looking like a gift. PROMISE!


FOR CLIPS & BARRETTES (No Band)

Same thing... I always recommend wearing the bow to one side or the other, especially if she has a small head. Now... she can get away with wearing it on top of her head if a) she has bangs or b) if the bow is placed closer to her forehead directly on top of her head.

TIPS

Big bows should be worn on the side. The bow will drape the curvature of her head and really pop. Where on top it will not drape well and end up looking "weird".

Medium-sized to Small-sized bows can be worn safely on top of the head. I do however, recommend that if your child does NOT have bangs, the bow should always be worn on the side.

Now that you know how to SAFELY wear a Precious Petals Boutique bow... go check us out at http://www.preciouspetalsboutique.com/ and get her started wearing our bows today!
