It’s nearly spring time and that means flowers! If you love the soft and feminine look, floral headpieces are the way to go. Wear a flower crown, clip-in piece or simply fasten some loose flowers in your hairdo.
Remember to use seasonal flowers, and ask your stylist about which flowers will stay fresh and perky for longer. They will add a romantic touch to any look, depending on your style.
Here are some different looks to try:

Congratulations are in order for Julianne Moore and Bart Freundlich. The Oscar winning actress and her writer-director husband recently celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary. Taking to Instagram, Moore…
After being left at the altar, Kenny Barnes has found love again. The ‘Love is Blind’ star recently popped the question to girlfriend Alexandra Garrison.
He proposed on August 7 at the Duke Mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina. His original plan to propose at the Biltmore Estate where they had their first date fell through due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Barnes took to Instagram to announce their engagement.
“Fiancé has a nice ring to it…Alexandra and I are excited to announce our engagement! To all of our friends, family and acquaintances, thank you for the continued love and support – we appreciate everyone and cannot wait to celebrate this next step together,” he wrote.

Barnes and Garrison have been dating a little over a year, and they met after he appeared on the Netflix dating series. His younger sister Anna introduced the pair.
“Alexandra and Anna had been friends for nearly three years while living in Charlotte and when I came to town to help move Anna, I met Alexandra at the brewery, Wooden Robot,” Barnes tells People.
“What’s funny is that there was apparently an ‘inside joke’ among their friends that Alexandra should date me. Alexandra knew who I was during that entire three-year period, but since we lived in separate cities and had never met, there was never an opportunity to entertain anything.”

Barnes knew she was the one from an early stage.
“There are definitely moments in the early stages of our relationship where the thought crossed my mind, but the moment that sticks out most is when she and I stayed up looking at the stars during a summertime trip to Lake Gaston,” he tells Peopls. “We talked for at least six hours and ended up falling asleep on the couch upstairs. It was then that I knew we were on the same page and that we were meant to be.”
Barnes was famously engaged to costar Kelly Chase on the Netflix reality show Love is Blind, where participants had to build a romantic connection with someone without ever seeing them in person. Barnes and Chase seemingly fell in love before physically meeting and became engaged.
However, once they met and began to live life as a couple, cracks began to appear. In the show’s finale, Chase said “I don’t” and left Barnes at the altar.
Reflecting on his time on the show, Barnes says it was a necessary learning experience.
“It was physically and emotionally draining but allowed me to become more in tune with myself and what I wanted in a partner. The most important thing I learned was how to honor and love the things that truly make me happy. To take those things and, instead of catering to someone out of convenience, find someone that truly has your best interest in mind to share it with.”

What do you get when you cross a Miss Universe stunner and a former pro-footballer? A match made in heaven. South African stunner Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters (now Tebow) and…
Steampunk is a subset of science fiction that successfully marries retro-future design sensibilities with the alternative. It poses an alternate reality where the history of the 19th century Victorian era has modern machines that are powered by steam.
These stories were often set in dystopian London, but can also be the setting of your dream wedding. Think rich gold, bronze metal work and lots of leather (or faux leather, if you are so inclined).

Flowers are a big part of a wedding day, whether its the bouquet or the flower arrangement, no special day would be the same without them. For those…
Cake is a wedding tradition, but that doesn’t make it a requirement. For those lacking a sweet tooth, a cake won’t make sense. An excellent alternative is a cheese tower!
Alternatives like cookies, pancake stacks and fruit cakes have grown in popularity over the years as couples desire something more unique and memorable than a traditional cake. These options are great, but a cheese tower is perfect for those not wanting another sweet dessert.
If you’re already offering a dessert table with a variety of sweet treats on your big day and don’t want a massive wedding cake, then a cheese tower is a great replacement.

Stack your favourite cheese rounds on top of each other to create a unique and delicious tiered cake. From brie to blue, camembert to stilton, there are so many tasty cheeses to choose from.
Of course, you can still go wild with decorations. Place fruits like figs and grapes on the sides of the tower, and don’t forget about the delicious freshly-baked bread and crackers to accompany. Have jams, honey and more fresh fruit on hand to pair with your cheeses.

When stacking the cake, think logically. The heaviest, firmer cheeses should go at the bottom to hold everything else up. Softer cheeses like brie or goats cheese should be saved for the top tier.
To make things easier when serving the ‘cake’, you could simply cut the tiers into smaller cheese blocks. Or you could incorporate it into your harvest table and let your guests go crazy!
