Are you a bohemian bride? A romantic? A modern, trend-follower? A trend-setter? No matter what your wedding look may be, we have ten good reasons to swoon over a gorgeous flower halo or headpiece.

ROMANCE

A flower halo is super romantic—just like the bridal bouquet. There’s just something about flowers that sets our hearts aflutter.

SPARKLE

These days, flower halos and tie headbands include sparkling elements like metallic details, crystals, and rhinestones. If you can add a little extra bling to your bridal style, go for it!

TRADITION

Flower crowns have been around for centuries. Back in the day, brides wore certain flowers for luck, superstition, or symbolism.

BEAUTY

A flower halo looks perfect styled with loose, romantic waves. You’ll get photos with flowers all around your gorgeous face, you lucky girl.

FEMININITY

Flowers are a symbol of femininity—come on, how many guys do you see wearing flowers in their hair? Grace your locks with your favorites.

SEASONAL THEME

Since flowers are seasonal, many brides wear floral halos during the spring and summer months. This look is gorgeous for a warm-weather wedding.

EASY TO WEAR

A flower crown doesn’t need much maintenance. You can wear it over a draped veil for dramatic effect or even alone for a light touch of beauty.

MIX & MATCH

Coordinate your floral headpiece with other elements in your wedding wardrobe. If your gown is soft blush, you can choose a blush-colored halo. If you’re in love with gold jewelry, match a gold halo.

FOLDOVER VEIL

There’s something so dreamy about a bride wearing a sheer tulle veil over her face. A classic blusher is usually worn by a bride as she is walking down the aisle, and it is lifted before the kiss. You can achieve the same fairy-tale beauty with a circle cut veil or a two-tier design.

Product Spotlight: Lace Veil V7175

(via Roma Bea Images for Bel Aire Bridal)

Your wedding is the most romantic day of your life. Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and birthdays just don’t encompass the same life-changing excitement and romantic allure as a wedding. And, as an adult, you probably won’t wear an extravagant, gorgeous gown with lavish accessories on any other day! In short, your wedding is a unique opportunity to honor your love in an unabashedly romantic way.

Nothing expresses love quite like lace. Elegant, backed by hundreds of years of tradition, and timelessly gorgeous, this classic bridal material provides a look of feminine grace. Our V7175 Alençon lace veil infuses any bridal wardrobe with classic elegance. Ornate beading weaves through a gorgeous pattern of regal flowers with breathtaking romance.

Style Me
The symbol of bridal beauty, this exquisite scalloped Alençon lace mantilla sweeps over your locks with Old World grace. A waltz-length veil featuring generous Alençon lace, V7175 evokes a mood of romantic beauty.

Match Me
Ideally, you should match V7175 with a lace gown. If you are wearing a dress made from another material but love the idea of a lace-trimmed veil, be sure to choose lace accessories! For example, we highly recommend pairing V7175 with its sister headpiece, style 6456. Fall in love with an elaborate, embroidered lace and pearl floral headpiece blooming with classic beauty. Attached to an easy-wear clip, this lovely headpiece wraps your wedding-day hair with sprawling bridal flowers and leaves to complement a lace gown and pearl accessories.

My Perfect Wedding
Romantic brides will love the feminine grace of V7175. Even if you’re not into pink peonies and soft candlelight, however, this classically pretty veil perfectly complements a lace gown. It also works well for any season of wedding. Whether you’re getting married in a church or on the beach, you’ll look stunning.
