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.....)
 Floral wreaths have always remained one of the more romantic choices for bridal headpieces. Small white flowers gently tucked in the hair can be an especially delicate choice for garden weddings which take place in the spring and summer. Tropical orchids have been a popular choice in recent years, and because of the accessibility of transportation, tropical flowers can be imported from other countries. Florals have been the classic choice of brides throughout time, and it was the choice for Queen Victoria of England. On the 10th of February 1840, Queen Victoria married her true love, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Her love for Albert was so great that when he died, it was said the Queen wore black for the rest of her life as she was in deep mourning over Albert. (Read More.....)
 Wouldn't it be interesting if you could find a tiara which matched your wedding flowers? Kinky Merry Zone on ebayfeatures an outstanding bridal set which looks much like the white summer flowers Dendrobium, and the white feather orchid. The set consists of a set of earrings and a outstanding drop necklace. If you are considering a wedding in the summer based around flowers, consider making this your set. The necklace features a drop style with small flowers encrusted with stones. The earrings that are in the set could be worn in the hair instead of the ears which may look too heavy. The earrings could be sewn on to a comb, either to make two combs which can arch a bun at the back of the head, or placed on one comb for a headpiece at the front of the head. You could even use just one of the earrings sewn on to a comb, while the other earring could be sewn on to a simple satin clutch. Having simply just the necklace and tiara made out of the earring would bring the perfect balance instead of them being worn as a necklace and earring set. Add in Dendrobium, daisies and Ornithogalum umbellatum in the hair, and perhaps some silk flowers sewn on the gown for an overall striking combination. (Read More.....)
