Fabulous Floral Head Pieces By Florrie & Eve

The tradition for brides wearing flowers in their hair, dating back to Ancient Greece and possibly beyond, is back in full force and Florrie & Eve are striving to keep this tradition alive.  Flowers in your hair evokes a magical and hippie chic vibe that I just love. 

With fresh flower headpieces lasting just for one day Florrie & Eve decided to create perpetual pieces that would last a lifetime.

Each piece is created by designers Nadia and Penelope, and is unique to you. These beautiful and realistic creations are handmade to order using silk flowers and traditional floristry techniques.

"Many of my brides wear a fresh floral hair piece created just a few hours before the wedding ceremony, and while these provide the ultimate finishing touch to the brides attire there is no way of knowing what the piece will be like until it arrives that morning. The designs created at Florrie & Eve mean each bride can try her accessories a head of the big day, ensuring that the hair and gown can be styled to her exact wishes. Our perpetual pieces benefit from the flexibility of floristry techniques that allow the pieces to be manipulated to fit and their look ensured on the big day and beyond."  Nadia Di Tullio, Florrie & Eve.

New Look Launches New Bridal Range

The Great British High Street strikes again with the launch of New Look's new bridal range.  They have embraced the gap in the market for high-end style at a fraction of the cost, no doubt putting a smile on the faces of many budget restricted brides.

Wedding Dresses are yet to feature amongst their collection but brides wishing to accessorise their gowns can do so with New Look shoes, tiaras, head pieces and bags. My favourites include their simple lace shoes (priced at £24.99), which could be perfectly accessorised some shoe clips, and their floral hair slide (priced at £9.99). 

Speaking about the latest addition, a New Look spokesman said: "Our bridal shoe collection provides a range of satin, lace, and delicate bows, sat back with pretty embellishment, beading and pearls, at great value for every customer."

I love the way they have designed the entire collection to compliment each other too - so you can match your hair slide to the detail on your shoes in order to complete the perfect bridal outfit.

With the Store's fantastic history of designer collaborations perhaps a new range of Wedding Dresses is next on their agenda? We can but hope...
