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.

Top Reasons to Have a Christmas Wedding

‘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.
