Ask Belle: Some Bridal Glitz and Glamour

Jan 14, 2010

Whether it’s the homespun goodness of Emerson Made or the simple stylings of J.Crew, I love floral accessories.  There’s just something about their big opulent petals that makes me feel more feminine. 

Recently, a friend asked if I would help her find some floral accessories for her wedding gown.  But even though I presented her with upwards of 25 options, nothing seemed to work.  For inspiration, she gave me the above photo and asked me try again. 

Jennifer Behr is a renowned headband designer famous for creating most of the headbands worn by Blair Waldorf and the Mean Girls on the hit television show, Gossip Girl.  Recently, Behr decided to branch out and design a line for brides who wanted something other than a veil for their wedding day.  Below are some of my favorites from the line.

This is the headband that my friend chose.  It’s big, it’s frilly, and it will go perfectly with her sleek gown.

I like the art deco, Roaring Twenties feel of this piece.  And while it’s special enough for your big day, you could also wear it with your party dresses.

What can I say?  I’m a sucker for a birdcage veil.

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
