How to Choose Your Headpiece

From blusher veils to bun wraps to jeweled clips, your headpiece should enhance your wedding day look, coordinating with your hairstyle, jewelry, wedding dress and style.

In the last post, How to Choose Your Wedding Hairstyle, we talked about consulting with your hairstylist months before your wedding date to discuss the best hairstyle for your face shape, hair type, wedding style, etc.  With all of this information, your stylist should then be able to advise you on the most suitable headpieces, veils, combs or other hair ornamentations for you.  Consider your personal preferences and let your stylist know about them as well.  For instance, you are set on wearing a veil.  Will you be wearing it all night or do you want the flexibility of being able to take it off at the reception?

If you’re brand new to the world of coordinating hairstyles to headpieces, gain inspiration at WeddingHair.com. This site allows you to choose hairstyles in varying lengths and types (i.e. long and curly).  After you click on the desired hair length, it then returns many images of varying hairstyles with different headpieces and veils.  If you prefer to DIY your veil or need more ideas, another site to check out is VeilShop.com.

I also came across an interesting article called A Total Bridal Look by Gretchen Maurer.  Primarily referring to hairstyles and headpieces, this article delves deeper into the overall wedding look.

Once you decide on a headpiece, remember to bring it back to your stylist before the wedding~ just to make sure you know how to fit it properly, securely and that there are no surprises on your wedding day!!
