  Many people claim Kim Kardashian is one of the most beautiful women in the world. She is known for her striking facial features and her stunning smokey eyes. Her wedding sparked lots of interest, primarily from all the disappointed men; being that she had been finally been taken off the market! Kim made some terrific wedding attire choices, and doted NOT ONE look but THREE wedding dresses!! All three of Kim's dresses were couture wedding dresses, and she wore over $ 15 million worth of diamonds. Kim and husband, NBA star Kris Humphries, were featured in PEOPLE, with 11 pages dedicated to exclusive photos, interviews, and lovely details of her big day. The most unique look of all her wedding looks was the first look she choose to walk down the isle. Later in her wedding, she let her hair down and changed her gown. The first look reminded me of Cleopatra, and also had some Indian elements which must have inspired her in the design of this amazing wedding headpiece. (Read More.....)
 Tiaras, by some are thought to originate from the laurel wreaths worn by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The delicate leaves have been seen positioned in shapes of ovals, circles, or simply in a design connecting one leaf to another. The style combines Grecian influences and a timeless style. Laurel leaves continue through the years to be extremely elegant, featured on royalty and celebrities alike. On her 21st birthday, Princess Margaret received from her mother, Queen Elizabeth, the Persian “Flames of Love” of Persian turquoises set in diamonds that the Queen herself had received as a wedding gift in 1923 from her father-in-law, King George V. The exquisite tiara incorporates lamps, laurel leaves, and lovers’ knots. It is one of the most lovely pieces of workmanship in the royal crown jewels. In Munn’s book, “Tiaras: A History of Splendor”, the tiara alone gets four pages of photographs alone. Catherine Zeta Jones also wore a tiara with marquise-cut stones giving the impression of laurel leaves in a sophisticated design. I ran across a tiara much to the likes of Catherine Zeta Jones and Princess Margaret's tiaras and I fell in love instantly because the style doesn't surface that often, if never. I saved the picture of tiara in hopes I would run into it again, and it showed up on Amazon as I was looking around today. Below you will see the many tiaras that are considered "priceless", and if you compare them to this tiara, you will see, it has tremendous style. The best thing is, you can buy it for under $90 dollars. (Read More.....)
  One of the best hairstyles of the past couple years is Blake Lively's hair for Gossip Girl on the episode featuring the white party. Her hair was loosely tossed back into a large bun of curls which were framed with braids. The hair was styled after looks reminiscent of the Bohemian and Grecian inspired hairstyles. The romantic hairstyle was also accented with two stone jeweled headbands, one worn along side the braid framing the bun and another close to her forehead. There are a number of pave set ribbon headpieces that you can purchase instead of a traditional tiara that would nicely complement this particular look. Many of these jeweled headbands are fashioned on the back of a ribbon, and simply tied into the hair. If the white ribbon is just too bold for your bridal look, consider just pinning in the pave set headband into the hair with bobbi pins and remove the ribbon. Another option is to make a small ribbon out of clear veil tulle instead of white ribbon which can also hold the jewels in place. (Read More.....)
 Millions tuned in to capture a glimpse into the lives of Royal's William and Kate's wedding day. Many people in the US and Canada started watching the news at midnight until they walked down the isle. Kate looked much like a modern Grace Kelly as she wore a lace gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The lace appliqué on the gown was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique. The tiara was loaned to Kate by the Queen for the royal wedding. The tiara was first given to the Queen Mother in 1936, King George VI for his wife just three weeks before he took over the throne from his brother. The tiara was thengiven as a gift to the Princess, (who is now Queen Elizabeth) on her 18th birthday. The tiara doesn't have a monetary value but has been guessed "priceless" given the history of the tiara. Kate's diamond earrings were designed especially to complement the tiara by jeweler Robinson Pelham, and were a wedding gift to Kate from her parents. (Read More.....)
  The side embellishment headpieces have made their way on to the runway and are becoming a new trend within bridal jewelry. I think if I were to do my wedding all over again, I would do this look, because it is different than the wedding looks we have seen for the past 50 years. This is a really hot look for any bride who is looking for a youthful sexy appearance. The look is sexy, refined, simplistic yet very glamorous! The photo above has been photoshoped to show you how beautiful a side embellished tiara could look with a sleek sexy ponytail. (I honestly don't know who the celebrity is, but she is quite beautiful) The ponytail style is certainly not the typical bridal hairstyle choice, but there are some ways you can fancy up a ponytail to look very glamorous.
