			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Shades of Sentiment</strong></p>
<p>Brides, are you staying on top of the latest styles for your wedding? ‘Ombre’, a graduated color tone, is making a subtle trend and elegant statement. Try this new look on your wedding invitations, cake or even add a little transitional flare to your wedding dress for a bit of whimsy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/purple_board.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7140 aligncenter" title="purple_board" src="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/purple_board.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="900" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Pretty in Pink</strong></p>
<p>For that girly girl, add the perfect amount of femininity to your wedding day… with a pop of pink peonies, place cards and polish. Then presto the blushing bride is the perfect centerpiece to her wedding day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of our favorite websites to go to to view unique and unusual <strong>wedding veils</strong> and <strong>wedding hair accessories</strong> is <strong><a title="Wedding Hair Adornment | Wedding Veils" href="http://www.twigsandhoney.com" target="_blank">Twigs &amp; Honey</a></strong>. There is always a romantic and nostalgic feel to her designs. And with some of the wedding gowns we&#8217;re seeing for 2012 that are blush or ivory, these would be exquisite.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Twigs-and-Honey-Wedding-Veils.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7126 aligncenter" title="Twigs-and-Honey-Wedding-Veils" src="http://www.strictlyweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Twigs-and-Honey-Wedding-Veils.jpg" alt="" width="422" height="1593" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Twigs &amp; Honey</strong> ® pieces are made with attention to detail and an interest in fine craftsmanship. Since the first styles were released, the designs have included handmade and hand dyed or painted silk flowers, hand sewn embellishments and other intricate detailing. The Twigs &amp; Honey line features hair adornments, headbands, birdcage veils, traditional veils, bridal jewelry, belts, boutonnieres, ring pillows, hats, shrugs, bouquets, corsages, everyday jewelry, fragrance and more! The line uses fine silks, feathers, laces, and vintage bits that result in completely unique adornments.</p>
