Inspiration Board #36: Bridal Crowns

I love silk flower crowns! They're so romantic to me.

If you're disliking the idea of wearing a veil, a bridal flower crown is a great alternative. The following are five of my favorite handmade wedding crowns found on Etsy that are each unique and beautiful on their own.

Interested on making your own? A Practical Wedding has an awesome floral crown DIY.

The Internet & Looking Ahead to Winter

Finally! Internet that works well! I'm so excited. The past week has been an incredible pain because it took over an hour (and tons of patience) to put together a single post due to a faulty internet connection! But alas! It's fixed, hopefully permanently. If this EVER happens to you while you're doing wedding research, check out your local bookstore like Barnes & Noble. You can get a cup of coffee or tea while you look through their collection of wedding magazines. I did this a few times while I was planning my wedding. I simply took photographs with my phone of any ideas that I saw that I liked instead of purchasing a magazine for only a couple useful pages. It's going to officially be fall in twelve days, but for those if you that will be having a winter wedding, I'm sure you're looking ahead. And so am I. One of the main reasons, of course is to have ideas for all seasons. But another is that I love, love, love winter weddings! I found this winter wedding treasury on Etsy, by home decor shop owner Jillian, with fabulous items. To view all sixteen finds, click the image below.

Bridesmaid Sash

I love this flower sash from Romantic Art Life.

It's not only a cute accessory for bridesmaids, but it's also a great accessory idea if you're going to be attending a wedding soon and want to add just a dash of something extra to your outfit.

Inspiration Board #18: A Spot of Bling

I've never been the type of girl to be into sparkly things, but when I ended up wearing a dress that not only had rhinestone clips on it, but also had a million sequin rounds that made it super sparkly in the sunlight. I absolutely loved the look. The following are a few great accessories from some of the blog's sponsors that add a wonderful splash of bling to your wedding accessory palette.
