As I was browsing online stores (what woman doesn’t occasionally pass the time doing so?) I found some great finds that are reasonably priced and can help any modern bride look chic without spending a fortune. Check out a few inspiration pieces below. P.S. The Nina shoes are customizable — you can choose the base color, the heel color, and the bow color!

Brides.com has 5 DIY Winter Wedding Hairstyles that are great! There’s one I am particularly fond of — I just passed it along to my bridesmaids in case they are inspired, or love it as much as I do!
HOW TO DO IT For an oh-so-now ponytail that’s pulled to one side, begin with a blowout, using mousse and a holding spray on damp hair. Tease hair at the crown to create volume, then smooth the rest with a brush and twist into an off-center ponytail. Instead of an elastic, use a line of bobby pins on the underside of the twist, starting at the top and ending at the nape-you’ll need at least 20. Side bangs add a flirty softness.

PRODUCT PICK Don’t dream of teasing your tresses without first app lying John Frieda Collection Luxurious Volume Lavish Lift Root Booster. This serum thickens and protects, thanks to fixative polymers and a shot of silicone. $6.50.
To go along with the Modern Vintage feel of my wedding, I’ve also decided to wear a fascinator & I fell in love with this one below! I can’t wait to see it in person!

To separate my Maid & Matron of Honor from the other Bridesmaids, I am excited to be giving them their own hair fascinators!! They will be eggplant purple instead of black, but they are VERY similar to the below! It will look great since both my MOHs are planning to wear a side bun!
