Brides.com has always covered the bridal fashion runway with pizazz, offering reports on the latest styles from top designers- including among others Vera Wang, Amsale, and Melissa Sweet (my favorite). On the Spring 2010 runway, some of the designers were showing more than gowns and many featured incredible and unique headbands and hair pieces. They sparked my interest right away because I have a slight obsession with headbands. Headbands are half of the reason I watch Gossip Girl.
One of the sweetest head pieces was the feather band featured above from the Melissa Sweet show. It looks like a crown that could be worn during an autumnal garden wedding. It may be a little over the top for traditional brides, but it's a very elegant jumping off point for hair accessory inspiration. Etsy seller TessaKim offers this headband with soft assorted feathers and a pearl button. It's pretty, whimsical, and a statement piece.
We have our own way of being inspired by nature's feathered flocks. Featured above are Fine Feathers, Thicket, and Peacock Feathers. Check out more garden wedding invitations.
So what do you think of this fine feathered trend? Would you wear feathers as a bridal hair accessory?
I would definitely wear feathers as a bridal hair accessory. If there are any other GH fans out there, I was in LOVE with Maxie's head peice for her "almost" wedding. It had feathers & rhinestones, and a little mesh action. Apparently it came from Renee Strauss Bridal in Bev Hills. Go here for a pic:
