Every bride dreams of their wedding day and can usually envision how they will appear on that day, down to the very detail. However, sometimes pulling all of those details together to make that dream a reality is not always a simple task. Co-ordinating the wedding gown to the jewellery to the hairstyle, along with the head piece requires some thought and consideration of the many options available.
One of the key elements to a polished bride is the headpiece that will be worn to complete the full wedding attire. More specifically, once brides can gain an understanding of all the many bridal hair accessories available, then they are better able to make an informed decision as to the perfect bridal headpiece that best suits them.
Both the style and embellishment of the bridal headpiece chosen should support the wedding gown and jewellery and work together to coordinate the details of all three elements of the bride’s apparel to create a unified appearance. Consider these options as a starting point when selecting the perfect bridal headpiece.
Bridal Tiaras
Bridal tiaras are still one of the more popular headpiece choices, as most brides still want to be crowned on their wedding day and feel like a princess. Bridal tiaras are available in three main styles, including:
- Low-standing tiaras
- Tall-standing tiaras
- Thin-band style tiaras
Various embellishments also accentuate bridal tiaras, which may include:
- Rhinestones
- Pearls
- Crystals
Choosing the best tiara depends on personal taste, the details or embellishments on the wedding gown and bridal jewellery and of course, which style feels most comfortable to the individual bride.
Bridal Hair Pins / Bridal Hair Twists
Bridal hair pins are a wonderful alternative to the traditional tiara. Used more and more, hair pins provide a completely different look for a bride. Hair pins are decorated with rhinestones, pearls or crystals and can be worn individually or scattered throughout the hair using any number of pins desired.
Hair pins can also support the overall theme of the wedding since hair pins are available in a variety of styles, some of which may include:
- Floral bridal hair pins, featuring roses, daisies, etc.
- Beach themed bridal hair pins, featuring starfish, shells, etc.
- Heart shaped bridal hair pins, supporting a romantic themed wedding
- Diamond shaped bridal hair pins, reinforcing the embellishments of the wedding gown or bridal jewellery
As with hair pins, bridal hair twists also act as yet another refreshing option for a unique bridal headpiece. For those brides who are searching for a simple look, but still want to include some glitter to their overall appearance, bridal hair twists may just be the right choice. With rhinestones, pearls or crystals featured within hair twists, these bridal hair accessories can easily complement any wedding gown or bridal jewellery.
Bridal hair twists are decorative hair accessories that affix to a metal twisted piece that actually twists into the hair that makes the top of the pin appear to be simply sitting or floating on the hair. Available in many colours and styles, hair twists are also a fabulous choice.
Bridal Hair Inserts / Bridal Hair Combs
Bridal hair inserts are part of a new bridal headpiece trend. Adorned with non-traditional accessories, hair inserts feature silk or artificial flowers, feathers, pearls, beads affixed to a single piece that is fed into the hair. These inserts appear best when worn on their own, minus a wedding veil.
On the other hand, bridal hair combs usually house rhinestones, pearls or crystals. This makes matching the type of decorative stones from the wedding gown to the bridal headpiece somewhat easier. These combs can also be worn a variety of ways, depending on the look the bride desires, which may include:
- Bridal hair combs worn on top of the hair, similar to a tiara
- Bridal hair combs worn on the side of the hair, similar to a hair pin
- Bridal hair combs worn at the back of the hair, for example, within a French twist up-do hairstyle
Knowledge is power, whereby any bride equipped with adequate knowledge of bridal headpieces then has a much less daunting task of selecting the most complementing wedding hair accessory. Whether it is a tiara, hair pin or hair comb, the bridal headpiece should reflect the overall style of the bride and all of her wedding apparel combined. Wedding professionals agree that while choosing a bridal headpiece does require some thought and patience, the process should also be fun.
