I love Renaissance Fairs and Renaissance clothing. It's just fun to wear and it makes me feel so girly! Although most of the clothing is quite warm, I often wish it would come back into fashion.

As you may know by now, I love vintage clothing from beautiful vintage dresses to nicely worn in vintage jeans. Not only are they fashionable and unique but some are actually collectibles and a good investment. I have quite a collection of vintage jeans some of which I don't wear as their price as a collectible far out weigh my need for fashion.

I think my favorite is vintage victorian attire. When I want something really special to wear I put on my favorite Victorian Ivory Lace Dress or a Renaissance Medieval Fantasy Gothic Dress with vintage jewelry and other accessories such as hats and handbags to complete the outfit.

My favorite online vintage store is Vintage-Goods.com which has a great selection of all things vintage and collectible.

Floral head wreaths grace the head with fresh flowers, silk flowers, dried flowers or tulle and ribbon garlands. You can attach a veil, a string of pearls, or ribbons to the back of the wreath. A wreath can be preserved by misting it and then store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

Floral head wreaths are not just worn by brides, bridesmaids and flower girls at weddings. They are a beautiful addition to your wardrobe for renaissance fairs and other special occasions. A wreath head piece adorns your hair with charm and fantasy.

The wreath head piece has been worn in many cultures. The Egyptians liked to wear wreaths of flowers as well as flower collars and made chaplets for their hair. They liked to carry bouquets of flowers made of lotuses with buds and blossoms of other flowers threaded into them.

Clarity and simplicity were characteristic of Egyptian floral designs. The Egyptians did not care for confusion or complexity. Two artistic functions prevailed in these designs: repetition and alternation-one flower around the rim of a vase and alternation of color, blue followed by green, then by blue again.

The Roman's wore wreaths and garlands. They were heavy and elaborate. Wreaths, like high crowns, came to a point over the forehead. Garlands were even more elaborate, being wide in the center and tapering toward the ends.

As for me, in my hippie days, I loved to wear a floral head wreaths on special occassions and also on my wedding day.
