Each time I have gone to the ballet, I get so excited to experience that intangible sparkly feeling in the air of something beautiful about to unfold; like opening night, Christmas Eve or of course, the way a girl feels on her wedding day. The ballet embodies such loveliness; the orchestra, the ethereal gossamer costumes and the fluidity of the dancers.

The romantic appeal of the ballet can certainly be carried into a beautifully executed wedding of this theme. The special feeling a bride holds in her heart on her wedding day would be like {I imagine} the way the principal dancer of an enchanting production feels on opening night.

I am absolutely loving headbands, fascinators, hats and cage veils. It seems only natural for fashionistas to adorn their hair and may I say, I am in all kinds of love with brides who are choosing headbands a la Jennifer Behr and of course fascinators and hats made with love by Blair Nadeau.

Of course as you will notice in earlier posts, one of my favourite designers is Jennifer Behr. Her looks have been a couture blessing for not only fashion forward brides but celebs like Natalie Portman and Keira Knightly, and the Gossip Girls’. That said, these are from Jennifer Behr’s latest collections along with some classic pieces that I absolutely j’adore!
