Bridal hair accessories and Jewellery vintage unique award winning LHG Designs: October 2011

2011 saw THE wedding of the year where the beautiful Kate Middleton married her prince charming (William). Wearing the traditonal tiara (Cartier Halo) for the big day, followed by her bridesmainds with flowers in their hair.
We soon followed with 2 further Royal Weddings - that of Princess Charelene and Zara Phillips

Another key wedding that year was that of Lily Allen and Kate Moss. Again flowers in the hair were seen, not only on the bride who wore them either side of her head, but also in the bridesmaids.

Rocking the trend of changing out of the wedding dress for the evening reception was seen by none other than Kim Kardashian.

So what is the wedding trends for 2012?
In 2012 we will see the Victoriana dresses making a big statement up and down the aisles. These dresses will range from the very flamboyant full skirts to the flappr style dresses. However the trend for the bride changing into another dress for the evening will still be VERY popular.

So what were the traditions of the Victorian Bride for hair accessories?
For their bridal headdress, country maids wound wildflowers into a wreath or, depending on the season, would gild small branches of leaves and wheat, then shape them into a golden coronet. Of course, royal brides were an exception to the botanical wreath rule, wearing crown jewels rather than some simple flowery, pastoral crown!

Of course this trend won't feel comfortable for all brides so how do they incorporate that into their style.

At LHG Designs we predict that the Royal weddings will have influenced brides and we will see the return of more tradional yet vintage style tiaras in 2012/13.

Another key shape in hair accessories and headbands will be the Rhombus/Diamond shaped! As 2011 ends we have been very busy creating Rhombus/Diamond hair accessories and jewellery designs for our brides to be. From necklaces, earrings, headbands and cuff rhinestone diamond shapes have been popular.
