LTK: How do you approach custom orders?
PB: Design by Pris aim is the uniqueness and in trend look for brides. I love to work on a "Custom design" hair piece. After I am approached from the brides, I pay attention to her details, learn her needs and collect as much information as I can. Then, I begin to work on the piece.

The final look is to be approved by the bride before the shipping step takes place.
