The emphasis on vintage inspired bridal jewellery and wedding headpieces continues. Current bridal fashion trends are not period specific with trends ranging from 1920s to 1970s. We are already starting to see the back of the traditional tiara, with a huge emphasis on statement jewels with plenty of sparkle! Crystal and rhinestone detailing is huge.
