Bridal headpieces, as tiny as most of them are, can surprisingly alter the entire look of the bride. And this applies to any type of bridal headpiece: Architectural combs, floral crowns, gemstone jewels, starry hairpins, tiaras; many more of them.

The only issue we can think of regarding headpieces is the fact choosing the right one is almost next to impossible. There are so many different designs and variants that deciding which to choose is more than a challenge, which is why we picked out 3 of the best and trendiest of the lost just for you.

• Bridal Tiaras

Have you ever wanted to be a princess? As unlikely as this may sound, a bridal tiara can turn you from a blushing bride into a princess who looks like she just stepped out of a fairy tale, and that’s no exaggeration. Choice favorite tiaras among brides are Chantilly Tiara, Desert Tiara, Augustina de Aragon, and Couronne Temperance.

Each of these tiaras are unique, but they can all easily attain that ‘royal look’ so many brides seek but few manage to achieve. The Chantilly Tiara, in particular, can achieve this look regardless of the type of wedding dress you wear. We don’t even know how this is possible. Maybe it’s magic? It certainly makes the bride look magical.

• Celestial Star Headpieces

Celestial Star headpieces are taking the bridal industry by storm. From all indication, this trend is here to stay. A poetic way to describe these headpieces is to picture yourself on your wedding day with the stars and the moon itself nestled into your hair. Are you excited yet? You should be. The best headpieces in this category are Hair Comb, Callisto Moon Hair Pins, Celestial Coronet, Tonya Stylist and Nova Bandeaux.

• Fashion-Forward Headpieces

There are traditional head-pieces but, in our opinion, these fashion-forward and modern variants take the cake. They are made with strong metals that give them a bold look. In comparison to other headpieces, they do have fewer options in terms of color but that doesn’t take away anything from how great, elegant and unique they look. Imagine how great they could make your hair and overall attire look?

Now, when you’ve decided on what headpiece to wear, there’s another thing that’s just as important: The rest of your wedding attire. That’s where we come in. Reach out to Amanda-Lina’s and we’ll outfit you with attire so stunning you’ll be the envy of the entire hall. Call us and we’ll make sure your wedding is something you won’t soon forget.

When it comes to bridal showers, there is no set way to do it. The best ideas usually work with the budget available, planning ahead of time and making sure lots of consultation is done with the bride on the event direction and guest list. You can also decide on whether the event will be a girl’s only ceremony or not. Make sure that the invitations go out on time and that you have a fair idea of the number of people attending.

Another thing about bridal showers is that if not properly planned, they can turn out to be boring, fake or a general snooze fest. So here’s a list of unconventional things that you can do to make your bridal shower fun and unforgettable.

First, before we proceed, make sure you choose fun games. Games that keep everyone laughing and busy are a good idea and then you could include any or all of the following:

Arts and Crafts Time

Make a variety of things from flower crowns to mixing perfumes. You can even practice beading and create fun items like bags, bracelets, necklaces and more. Involving your guests in a creative activity like this is bound to turn up some pretty useful results.

Have a Lesson

You could either invite a makeup professional, a chef or a baker to teach the bride and the guest some great tips when it comes to makeup, cooking or baking. The makeup class can include full bridal makeup training or a good skincare routine. For cooking, let everyone try their hands at some parts of the food preparation to make a more practical, interactive, hands-on experience.

Direct and Act a Play

This activity depends on the number of guests you have coming and can be quite entertaining. Just pick a topic and separate the guests into teams and then let each team come up with a play that they feel would best represent the topic picked. They can choose actors for the play and then everyone can watch the plays one after the other. The bride can be selected to pick the play she loves best or everyone can vote on the play that they enjoyed the most afterward.

Karaoke

A different but still fun way to engage the bridal shower guests, karaoke night is always fun so rent a machine and have everyone belt out their favorite lyrics or split them into teams for a faceoff. Karaoke is a great way to have the guest laughing and smiling at the bridal shower.

An Educative Tour

Who says that bridal showers have to always be indoors and not educative? Depending on your budget, take the girls out to a trip to either a museum, a winemaking factory, a farm or even a bakery. Find an educative but also a fun place that you can go around your bridal shower location that is within your budget and take along things for a picnic if possible.

Do Charity

A different way to spend your bridal shower that could still be rewarding is to find a charity that is dear to everyone’s heart and do activities on that day that will go towards helping the charity. You could visit an orphanage and spend some time with the kids or join a charity walk that might be happening on the same day.

Whichever of these you choose to do, just be sure to chronicle them and takes loads of pictures so that everyone has keepsakes to remind them of your special time together.
