We headed down to a local dance studio with our hearts set on capturing all the romance, grace, and beauty that comes from styling a blush photo inspiration shoot! With gorgeous gowns by Truvelle bridal, we paired up a variety of glittering headpieces and dreamy veils. The result? Absolute perfection.

If you’re choosing a blush gown for your wedding or reception, scroll down to check out some gorgeous styling ideas. The rose gold sequin and soft lace dresses created opportunities for two very different looks, and both left us absolutely smitten.

First, we styled side-swept loose curls, featuring a gorgeous rhinestone headband glittering with tiny metallic leaves and flowers. Style 6110 is so easy to wear, creating a look of effortless beauty.

Next, we turned our attention to a more minimalist look. If you want just a subtle hint of sparkle, we recommend a narrow hair vine such as 6524. This nature-inspired piece adds the lightest, most delicate touch to any hairstyle and coordinates beautifully with a garden-inspired or boho-chic look.

If vines aren’t your style, check out a narrow headband such as 6040 or 6388. This vintage-inspired pieces are simply stunning and can be worn at a bridal shower or engagement party, too!

Florals are hugely popular this year, and there’s nothing lovelier than a soft organza flower headpiece with sparkling rhinestone accents. Style 6525 combines the best of both worlds and looks absolutely dreamy with an already-romantic lace gown.

It helps to have the big picture in mind when you’re planning your accessories. Are you going for a stunning and glamorous look, with sequins and bold jewelry? Are you a lace and veil type girl? Choose your headpiece to enhance your personal style!

In this case, we paired a simple beaded blush headband 8662 with Truvelle’s sparkling sequin-dipped gown for an eye-catching, modern bride. For the more classic girl putting a spin on tradition, the plunging lace v-neck gown grows exponentially more feminine with a sweet floral headpiece and simple organza-lined veil. Whether you’re dancing the night away in a reception hall (or in this case, a ballerina’s dance studio) or saying “I do” at the beach, these versatile looks are straight out of a dream.

Top Reasons to Have a Christmas Wedding

(Bel Aire Bridal – Style 6524)

‘Tis the season to get engaged! Amongst the beauty and cheer of the holidays, we can’t help but wonder how many of you newly engaged couples will be saying “I do” again in about a year’s time? Summer and fall weddings are more popular than winter celebrations, but the cold season offers plenty of charming reasons to tie the knot.

Holiday Colors

Green and red, silver and gold, or white and blue are all beautiful color schemes for a holiday wedding. Choose a theme that is right for you and run with it!

Sparkling Accessories

You can’t wear sparkling high heels to a beach wedding. Romantic cathedral veils, stunning headpieces, and formal gowns stand out as some of our favorite winter wedding elements. To add holiday cheer, incorporate green, red, or gold into your bouquet! From shimmering headbands to twinkling bouquet jewelry, a few bits of bling will infuse your look with gorgeous radiance.

Bright Decorations

Tinsel, garlands, strings of lights, mini trees, poinsettias, pinecones, plaid table runners, ribbons and presents—what’s not to like about holiday decorations? Provide your guests with an ornament decoration station, so they’ll have something special to take home! From the table cloths to the centerpieces, you can enjoy reusing these seasonal home accents for years to come.

Religious Significance

If you are deeply spiritual, a Christmas wedding may brighten your ceremony and make your vows even more meaningful. Churches tend to put up gorgeous decorations this time of year, and you can easily incorporate a religious or festive theme.

Family

If your friends and family gather together for holidays, why not plan your wedding around the same time? You can incorporate traditions from both sides, create a few special memories of your own, and enjoy the cheer of celebrating anniversaries to come.
