Flowergirl Accessories!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Everyone looks forward to seeing the flower girl walk down the aisle during the wedding ceremony….not only because they know she walks down right before the bride but also because flower girls are so darn cute! There are so many great accessories for flower girls that will make your flower girl unique and even cuter….if that’s possible!

I love hair accessories; especially for flowergirls!   One of my favorite hair accessories is a floral halo to wear in her hair which gives a beautiful soft angelic look.  If your flower girl is young she may not wear a halo on her head so be prepared with a headband or single flower for her hair in case she wants to pull it off.

A trend I am totally loving right now is for flowergirls to wear a tutu for the wedding.  Adorable!

  In a traditional ceremony, the flower girls carry a basket of petals and drop the petals down before the bride walks down.  If you want something a little different or may have a young flower girl that will probably forget to drop the petals, there are some fun alternatives for them to carry.  These are also great alternatives if you are getting married in a church or a home that does not allow you to drop fresh petals down the aisle.

Pomander Balls are the new flower girl basket with a twist!  They are also easy to make yourself.  They can be made out of so many different materials including many types of flowers like orchids and carnations as well as paper and pinecones!  Just a note…don’t be fooled by the size of the pomander ball….it does take quite a few flowers and materials to make one pomander ball!

Some other great accessories flower girls can carry are floral purses, mini bouquets and even wands!

If you decide to have kids in your wedding ceremony you have to know they can be a little unpredictable but no matter what happens guests will love oooo’ing and aahhh’ing over them.

Bridal Hair Accessories

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Unless you are royalty, wearing a tiara for your wedding ceremony is out and beautiful hair accessories are in!  So many brides are saying “no thank you” to wearing the traditional veil and using hair accessories to glam up their look.  In recent weddings, some brides are deciding to wear both…a traditional veil for the ceremony and then after the formal pictures use a hair accessory to complete their more “fun” reception look.  Some brides don’t like the idea of changing in to another wedding dress after the ceremony.  I get it…you paid enough for the first dress, plus you love it so much, so why change?  I totally agree, and the easiest way to freshen up your look for the reception is to use a hair accessory to wow your guests again!

  Here are some of my favorites from Sara Gabriel Veils and Headpieces.

On the hair accessory below you can even change the color of the flower…which is perfect for bridesmaids to wear too!

Headbands are back in a big way for weddings!!   These aren’t the 80’s headbands you can remember, they are beautiful and elegant and give the perfect pop to your bridal wear!


If you were thinking about wearing a flower in your hair but worried it wouldn’t last all day then this headband with one of my fave flowers, the anemone, is the perfect way to wear a flower in your hair with no worries!

If you are having a peacock themed wedding, this is the perfect hair accesory for you!

Wedding Hair: Braids!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Braids are back and hitting the bridal scene in a big way!

Whether it is for the brides or bridesmaids hair, braids are the trendy new way to style hair for the big day.  In the past, braids were more of an informal way to wear your hair but not anymore….depending on your dress and the hairstyle you choose braids can look very formal!  Below are pictures of some of the braids that brides and bridesmaids are sporting on the wedding day.

One of my favorites is the fishtail braid (far right)!

All of these braids gives you a different feeling based on what look you want!

If you are using a braid in your hair for you or your bridesmaids we would love to hear about it!
