about the poet’s wife bridal headwear and accessories
the poet’s wife is a luxe, artisan-owned brand specializing in handcrafted bridal headwear and accessories made in the usa. founded by elizabeth michelsen, the poet's wife is a division of her original luxury brand curried myrrh, which has been making handcrafted, chic, boho-style headwear for free people for over a decade.
at the poet’s wife, we create exquisite beaded crowns, tiaras, combs, and other hair embellishments designed for the bride and her bridal party, as well as gifts and décor accessories for weddings and special occasions.
it all started with a delicate, hand-beaded flower
the journey began with a simple yet meaningful idea—a flower. while planning my daughter’s bridal shower, i envisioned a creative activity that would leave the bride and her guests with a cherished memento. the idea of hand-beading a flower took root, and the “evermore” blossom was born.
using czech and miyuki glass, crystal beads, and pearls in wedding-inspired colors, we gathered to create flowers that reflected our unique styles. each bloom became more than just a craft; it became a token of individuality, love, and the eternal blooming of friendship. this inspired me to craft elegant bridal hair accessories—from crowns and combs to pins and clips—designed to embody both sentimentality and sophistication.
the poet’s wife inspiration
the name, “the poet’s wife,” reflects a profound love for poetry, epic tales, and timeless journeys. our bridal headpieces are inspired by these evocative narratives, weaving free-spirited elegance with bohemian charm to create accessories that crown brides with beauty from within.
with ancestral roots stretching from the refined architecture of copenhagen to the sweeping flax fields of czechoslovakia, i draw inspiration from a harmonious blend of history and nature. this duality influences every piece, celebrating both heritage and individuality.
our mission
at the poet’s wife, our mission is to create heirloom-quality bridal headwear and accessories that reflect a bride’s unique inner beauty. each design embodies her personal story, blending timeless artistry with modern elegance, ensuring she feels as radiant as the love she celebrates.
whether it’s a beaded flower crown, a luminous comb, or an intricate tiara, our creations are a tangible representation of where love blooms, making every bride feel truly unforgettable.
