Don’t Forget The Headpiece

Finding a wedding dress is one of the most tedious and time-consuming aspects of planning a wedding. From the moment a person gets engaged, they are told to start thinking about ‘the dress’ as it could take an hour to up to a few days to find the perfect outfit to wear for the BIG DAY. Then once the dress is selected, the accessories that accompany the dress are just as important. From the earrings, necklaces, bracelets, the veil and/or the headpiece.

Typically the veil was the symbol of most brides. If you picture a bride you would picture a woman in a white dress and with a veil. However, times are changing and brides are adding a headpiece that they can wear stand-alone once the ceremony is over. Headpieces ranging from a jeweled headpiece including rhinestones and crystals to tiaras to an assortment of flowers nestled in the brides up do. Multiple celebrities such as Ann Hathaway, Natalie Portman and Matthew McConnaughey’s bride, Camila Alve are just a few brides that chose to wear headpieces for their weddings. In fact, headpieces are supposed to be one of the wedding trends popping up more in 2013 as more brides are taking style cues from the roaring 20s.

Hardest Vows To Keep

My full time job is a news producer at a local TV station is Charleston, SC…. I recently came across this story and it stunned me, so I wanted to share.

To have and to hold…. to love and to cherish… and till death do us part.

Most people are familiar with the vows — even if they’ve never married.

A new 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll published this week has looked into which marriage vows are the hardest to keep… and it’s no surprise… the results are gender divided.

“To be faithful” garnered the most votes among men at 27 percent.

Fidelity was followed by “for better or for worse”, then “for richer or for poorer.”

As for women, “for better or for worse” was chosen as the toughest vow to keep with 32 percent of the vote, followed by “to be faithful,” then “in sickness and in health.”

No need to stress before the big day… make sure to take time to relax. Great ideas!
