FASHION + BEAUTY<br />

An embellished<br />
back dripping in<br />
crystals makes<br />
for a seriously<br />
grand exit.<br />
VINTAGE<br />
This style can refer to a wide range of<br />
time periods, so first narrow down the feel<br />
you’re going for. Is it the sophistication of<br />
the ’50s or the glamour of the ’20s? If the<br />
former, a birdcage veil is a totally retro<br />
option and works with a variety of dresses.<br />
If you aren’t crazy about the idea of<br />
wearing a veil, hair <strong>com</strong>bs and headbands<br />
with classic touches like lace or pearls also<br />
add polish to any hairstyle. To channel<br />
the glitz of the Roaring Twenties, opt for<br />
feathery and beaded headbands, art deco<br />
statement accessories and swinging fringe<br />
details. Vintage style also lends itself to<br />
old-fashioned jewelry. Repurpose your<br />
own family heirlooms or browse local<br />
estate sales and vintage stores to find<br />
special pieces with an antique vibe.<br />
ROMANTIC<br />
A touch more luxe than a rustic wedding,<br />
gauzy fabrics, floral embellishments and<br />
soft, pastel hues emphasize the dreamy<br />
feel of romantic nuptials. Whether you’re<br />
wearing a sexy, curve-skimming dress or<br />
a frothy, embellished ensemble, consider<br />
wearing a long, sheer veil for a dramatic<br />
detail that won’t distract. Or, channel<br />
your inner Renaissance heroine with a<br />
boho Juliet cap veil plus floral accents.<br />
Polish off your look with lots of whimsical<br />
jewelry (we love pieces that incorporate<br />
oversize flowers, butterflies and even<br />
bees), or focus on one statement piece,<br />
like a pair of ornate chandelier earrings.<br />
