New and Innovative Prom Hairstyles 2012 Part Five

Hair Accessories Fall Winter 2011-2013. Headbands and other.

One of the easiest ways to change your style this season Fall Winter 2012-2013 is using hair accessories, such as headbands and others. Beautiful delicate and romantic headbands were represented in Dolce & Gabbana, Rodarte and Oscar de la Renta fashion collections.


Hair accessories can be absolutely various. A chic headband could make any casual look refined and special. The secret is to put the headband on smoothly hair.

Week 24 - 52 Rituals/Traditions in 52 Weeks - Wishing Stones

The Wishing Stone Ceremony

The ‘Wishing Stone' Ceremony is a wonderfully inclusive ritual to incorporate into your big day and is great for not just weddings, but any ceremony you may be considering.

I have performed it as part of a baby naming as well as for weddings. It basically involves using small polished stones, just large enough to write a small wish on if necessary.

 Usually the stones are given out by someone selected to perform the task (can be a great way of including children, by getting them to walk around and make sure everyone has a stone).

As the ceremony commences the guests are asked to hold the stones tightly and make a loving wish for the couple’s life together.

The stones can later be collected in a vase for the couple to keep as a momento of all of the wishes their loved ones and friends made for them or each person can be invited to come forward as part of the ceremony and place their stone – making their wish for the couple, in the vase.

Each stone represents a special wish that the couple can take with them to reflect on throughout their married life together.

Some couples may wish to go a little further and ask guests to write their wish on the stone, offering felt tipped pens for the guests and family to write their names and add their wish.
