Trend Alert: Summer Hair Florals

Hair flowers are hot right now! Whether for the bride, bridesmaids or even just for fun. It is in part due to the growing popularity of anything vintage. Women from every decade have worn flowers in their hair but the trend seemed to peak in the 1920s and then again in the 1940s.

Adding a hair flower to your hairstyle is like adding the final decorations to a cake. It just takes it to that next level of "gorgeousness". Silk flowers are highly preferred over fresh by stylists, as they can be bent and shaped into your style, and will stay "fresh" throughout the night.


For the true trendsetting brides, a large, dramatic flower is the way to go. Because this bride is not going for the look and feel of a "real" flower, many of our large flowers incorporate feathers and rhinestones.


Hollywood has embraced the hair flower trend!



Colored Flowers: Although white and ivory flowers are classic, many brides want to add a splash of color. Entire silk flowers can be done in color, or more discreet accents can be added, such as a recent bride who added a a "splash" of fuschia in the feathers that accented her hair flower!

Jumping for Justin Alexander

It is officially one week after the Justin Alexander dresses started "flying in" for the trunk show at Bridal Accents Couture. After 2 busy days of steaming and pampering the new arrivals, they were ready to be hung on display for excited brides to try on.

One of the first guests for the weekend was Valerie Podolinski from Event du Jour. She was visiting Andrea, one of her brides who was getting married this weekend and picking up her gown from Kim's Tailoring. Andrea was all smiles as she consented to try on her custom gown one last time in the store to be admired before she walks down the aisle. One of Valerie's favorite new Justin Alexander gowns was the #8428, which features a stunningly beaded bodice that gives ANY woman spectacular curves:Amidst the champagne, tears, and tissues, 18 dresses in total visited for the weekend, and 13 gowns were purchased. Of the 13 dresses, 12 gowns were by Justin Alexander and/or the sister company, Sarah Danielle. Of those 12 gowns, 11 were completely unique. It is so nice to see so many different looks being chosen--Justin Alexander does a great job of finding unique characteristics to put into each gown that truly capture different brides' individual senses of style.
Congratualtions to: Crystal, Carlie, Kristen, Jordan, Jennifer, Katie, Kelly, Melissa, Ashley E., Ashley K., Gabrielle, Laura, and Lindsay!
