Crystal Floral
Designs for Spring and Summer Weddings
By Chris
The spring and summer months are the most popular
time for weddings. Most brides dream of the sun shining whilst
guests sip their drinks on the lawn, and the photographer snaps
pictures against lush green backdrops.
A great way to incorporate the spring and summer
seasons into your accessories is by choosing floral-inspired pieces.
Fresh flowers are beautiful and look lovely worn in the hair,
but you may wish to choose something with a little more sparkle.
There are many types of accessory that are a perfect compromise.
Floral tiaras are a stunning way to complete your
outfit for the day. The right tiara can set off your dress to
perfection. A band of crystal flowers (1) can breathe life into
loose hair, perfect for garden weddings. Or choose a taller tiara
with dainty flowers to complement a floaty veil (2).

For a more contemporary look, an
asymmetric or side tiara can give a fresh, modern feel. There are
many styles available which capture the essence of summer through
the use of floral design. Crystal-encrusted designs can add serious
sparkle (3) or more dainty designs have an ethereal air with a dash
of shimmer. (4) & (5). |

For those with a country garden theme or weddings
with a vintage feel, choose a design with vintage styling. (6)
The key is in strong detailing, and these pieces are usually worn
as a statement piece, with minimal accessories.
Of course, you don’t have to choose to wear
a tiara to have crystal flowers in your hair. Many other hair
accessories are available. Beaded combs can be used to add sparkle
with many colours available (7), and pretty pearl and crystal
hair grips are easy to use in a variety of hairstyles including
in loose or fine hair. (8)

It is also easy to use hairpins to bring the summer
into your outfit. You can choose a large statement hairpin, worn
alone, and beautiful in the back or side of an up-do. (9) &

Alternatively, sprinkle your hair with smaller pins
for subtle sparkle (11), or wind a pretty hair vine randomly through
hair or around a bun. (12)

Jewellery is another way to incorporate
crystal flower designs in your outfit. Necklaces can have a hint
of flora with a subtle lampwork flower encased within a heart pendant
(13), or can have serious sparkle like this Swarovski crystal flower
on a delicate chain (14).

Alternatively, if your neckline
doesn’t call for such adornments, a Swarovski crystal flower
bracelet (15) or delicate floral earrings (16) can add a summery
feel to your accessories without compromising on sparkle. |

Summer weddings are at their most
beautiful in an outdoor setting, and all these accessories will
delightfully complement such ceremonies, be they morning or afternoon
garden settings or sunset receptions on the patio.
