As you know, February is not only the month of valentines, but a celebration of styles that I heart. What better way to bring the week to a close, than by sharing some eye-catching wedding “bling” with a global twist?
For the bride who opts out of the western veil over which she might trip or get an eyelash caught in, here are some sexy fusion alternatives:
From African and Middle Eastern Glam…

...to unleashing your inner Grecian goddess or muse.

For a cute alternative to the birdcage veil, below are examples of two lace and jewel inspired “cages” that can really make a statement. Not only do they frame your face for the perfect portrait, they are also super stylish and chic.

As we head east, don’t you just love these jeweled pieces with a hint of eastern Europe and Asia? It’s all about the tear drop pearl, dazzling stones and beaded details.

And finally, a celebration of western European folklore and fantasy.

You always hunt down the most unique finds! I am really loving these hair pieces, such a fun alternative to the usual choices.
Very nice jewels. But we can also wear the both.
En tout cas, très joli inspiration ^^
J’aime beaucoup
I’ve been looking for an alternative to the veil and cage veil, thanks for sharing these!
