Which Wedding Tiara or Headpiece Should You Choose?
Is a jeweled princess tiara right for you or some other
headpiece? It depends on your personal taste, your bridal
hairdo, your veil, and your gown. Choose the one that best
complements your look and you will walk down the aisle in style.
Tiaras. A tiara is what most people envision when they
think "headpiece." Traditionally, tiaras are worn in very formal
weddings. The variety of styles available today, however, makes
them an option with any hair style, dress or veil. Simple, low
profile pieces work well with a veil. More elaborate princess or
crown tiaras are stunning without a veil.
Hats. Bridal hats can add character to your wedding and
dress. Sizes range from large, flower-adorned varieties to
small, pillbox hats. Historically, birdcage veils were popular
choices to wear with a wedding hat, but they also look stunning
without a veil. Skullcaps are a different type of hat. They fit
very close to the head and serve to secure the veil.
Headbands and V-Bands. The single headband is most
common, but there are double and triple headbands as well. They
can be decorated to match your shoes or bouquet, or can be
subtler, depending on how much you want to showcase your wedding
hair style. A headband works with all hair lengths, looks
equally wonderful with an up do or flowing hair, and can serve
as a veil attachment. If you want to draw attention to your
face, consider a v-band, which is a type of headband worn across
your forehead.
Rings and Wraps. There are several varieties of
ring-shaped headpieces. Bun wraps are designed to wrap around a
bun. Halos look nice sitting on top of short hair. Floral
wreaths, which fit across the forehead, can complement an
informal, outdoor wedding.
Combs. These versatile headpieces come in a variety of
styles and sizes, and can complement any wedding or hair style.
Wear them on the top, side, or back of your head to secure your
hair or veil. Combs are often sewn to veils as an anchor.
Barrettes. Small combs and barrettes work well without a
veil. These can be simple or flashy, and can be decorated with
your choice of crystals, floral pieces, pearls, or rhinestones.
Other Hair Adornments. If you are a nontraditional,
second, or older bride you may choose to go without a veil or
headpiece. Besides barrettes and combs, there are a variety of
other hair gems to choose from. Many stores sell bridal twists
or pins made from pearls, beads, or crystals. You can even
convert a necklace or other jewelry into hair jewelry. Most
stylists are quite adept at weaving these into your hair style.
Whichever headpiece you are considering, ask the advice of your
family and bridesmaids. They will help you choose the perfect
headpiece -- one that will look stunning on YOU!
