It's not too late take advantage of our royal-inspired tiara sale. There shouldn't just be one princess after all.

What tiara will Kate wear?

The question on most people's minds is what will Kate Middleton wear next week on her wedding. While her dress is being talked about a lot, we're, of course, interested in the tiara. Kate has certainly shown off her style and poise, and as much as we love her feather pieces (which look very close to some of our own), we do hope she chooses one of "the family's tiaras." To have her choices...

What a lucky princess she is, but you too can be a lucky princess by taking advantage of our royalty-inspired tiaras sale through the end of the month.

Help with veils

The most commonly asked question we receive from customers on choosing the right veil is: What color should I choose?

What color should I choose?

It can be a daunting challenge to choose the right shade of veil to match your dress. What you should know is that if your dress is white, then a white veil makes sense, just as if your dress is an ivory shade then an ivory veil will work best. The decisions get more complicated with diamond white, as a number of dresses now say they are ivory when they are really diamond white. If your dress is not a bright white and not a buttery yellow ivory color, then diamond white will be the best choice. We recommend brides have their gown before ordering the veil as often shades can be remembered different than what they actually are, but please note that we do offer exchanges on veils for this reason, as long as the item is not on clearance.

A Touch of the Exotic

You don't need to travel far and wide to have a touch of the exotic at your wedding. We carry a number of different items made by talented craftspeople overseas that will have everyone asking where you got the piece. Most importantly, they will be impressed with your style and flair.
