| Wedding ideas and vintage hair pieces |
My wonderful friend Amber is going to be a July bride in the romantic city of Treviso and as I sit here looking for beautiful hair pieces to give her ideas to enhance her wedding dress, which I can say no more about other than being perfect for her petite 5ft 1 frame! I have found myself web dreaming in the wonderful world of stunning bridal hair accessories...
From feathers to diamante these feminine hair pieces add a something a little different for a stylish bride! Leah C is one of the leading designers,below she shares her expert style tips, a must read before you buy your headpiece!
Strike a balance: A headpiece should complement your neckline, whether it’s round, asymmetrical, straight or sweetheart. Headwear should also balance the skirt: If you’re wearing a huge ball gown, don’t wimp out with a small flower in your hair.
Let the feathers fly: Consider feathered boutonnieres for the groomsmen and feathered headpieces for the girls.
Use color: Color is emotional and provocative, don’t be afraid to use it in your headwear! Most of us have colors that evoke special times in our lives or that lift your spirit, this is a great time to personalize your fashion message on the magic day.
Multiple looks: I recommend making the most of the different segments of your day or evening wedding and having 2 looks. The ceremony carries a more serious tone and the reception a lighter, party atmosphere so your head wear choices can reflect these differences. Change from a beautiful veil into a fun hair ornament with maybe a touch of veiling for during the reception without sacrificing your head to toe complete look.
Use the experts: Get your veil made by a milliner, not a dress maker! Each field has its own expertise – be sure to check out the company’s reputation, testimonials and the back round of the brand to invest in yourself wisely.
Go for it: So many times I hear “if I could do it over again, I would have gone with more dramatic head wear!”
Visual focus: Remember that the visual focal point is the Bride’s face, her smile and the look in her eyes. What ever is closest to this view, a.k.a. your headwear, adds to this vision. Don’t underestimate the importance of what is in your hair and closest to your face.
Choice of accessories: Your choice of hair accessory and veil should reflect your personality, not any current trend. I feel your choice should be about your vision of yourself and the feeling of the dress, i.e. soft & romantic or clean & tailored.
