  3. To find the perfect look for your wedding day hair, first decide what is more important to you - your hairstyle, headpiece or hair accessories.

When you have decided what you would like to highlight, you must ensure the other pieces of your ensemble match and compliment the overall look.

If you are featuring your hair, then your accessories should be toned-down. If you would like to feature your hair accessories and veil, then keep your bridal hair style simple.

It is becoming increasingly popular for brides to use hair accessories that are specifically for bridal hair such as pins, hair bands, combs, hats and tiaras. These are especially beautiful when they are worked into an up-do.

Flowers fresh or silk are perfect if wedding hair jewelery is not suited to your wedding gown or if jewelry is not your thing.

Wedding hair flowers look great when pined into romantic curls in an up-do.

If you want something a little extra special in your hair without making it the center of attention, select a headpiece that will complement the detailing of your gown.

Consider wearing a headband that is made in the same fabric as your dress.

Or choose one of the many wedding hair combs that are decorated with pearls or other subtle embellishments.

Another alternative is to twist a strand of small crystals or pearls through your hair.

If you have always dreamed of wearing a hat when you walk down the aisle, select a style that will let your personal style shine.

A Juliet cap sits close to the head and will give a sleek look. You could also wear a birdcage veil under a hat, or wear a pillbox.

Tips And Ideas For Selecting Bridal Hair Accessories

When you choose your wedding headpiece you must be careful to choose one that will flatter your size, build, personality as well as your hairstyle and veil if you are wearing one even if that headpiece is not in fashion at the moment - if it suits you it is in fashion.

Your headpiece should be in proportion to your height and perhaps even take into consideration the groom’s height. It is the finishing touch to your wedding attire; it will also draw attention to your radiant face.

As you try them on, notice how each of these makes your face look, some will bring out the sparkle and shine in your eyes, while others will accentuate parts of your face that you may not be too happy about. Reject the styles which are not flattering to you, and choose one that is flattering and compliments your features.

  • The headdress should be light in weight and appearance and should not overpower your wedding dress. If it looks overdone, try a smaller size or reduce the trimmings on it.
  • The headdress should not make you look to short, tall, fat or too thin. A very short bride should not wear a huge picture hat as it could make her look out of proportion.
  • When you are trying on the different styles, keep in mind the location of your wedding ceremony and reception, for example, if it is a beach wedding you may not like to use a very long veil as it will most likely be blown away by the wind, a better choice could be a flower wreath.
  • Your personality should also reflect in the choice of your headdress. These can be symmetrical (both sides exactly the same) and asymmetrical (more detail on one side and less on the other).
  • The asymmetrical design can draw attention to your face and hairstyle. The ideal it should look like it has been designed to be part of your wedding dress. It’s color and texture should match the wedding dress.

When you have chosen the prefect wedding headpiece, take it along with you to the hairdresser so that you can find the perfect hairstyle.
