Beautiful Bridal Headpiece Ideas You May Have Overlooked

When it comes to choosing what to wear on your wedding day, the chances are you already know more about wedding dresses than you do about what to wear in your hair. Think about it. You've worn dresses before and you've probably worn a long gown or two. A wedding is similar to prom gowns. You know what shape works with your shape. But when was the last time you wore a veil or a major accessory in your hair?

With a basic understanding of what's available to today's brides and how they should best be worn, your choice will become clear – and you'll look like a beautiful bride from top to bottom.

Tiara

These are the sisters of the crown. While the crown says royalty, the tiara suggests prosperity and glamour. Wearing a tiara is something that will set you apart. Often a circle or semi-circle shape, tiaras are beaded or bejeweled. You can wear one alone, or combine it with a veil for a very special look. As for the proper hairstyle for a tiara, try an up-do or a partial up-do, with some locks hanging lose.

But if you have short hair, don't despair. Work with your hair to find a way to work it into your look. And if you want to wear your hair straight down, then enhance that simple look with a beaded tiara.

Headband

Don't panic. These are not the schoolgirl headbands you wore while trying to let your bangs grow out. Today's bridal headbands offer a simple way to control your locks. They are enchanting with crystals, beads or pearls. They can be wide and encrusted with rhinestones, or they can be a simple silver band with a small sparkle or a silk flower added. You can use a headband to pull your short locks away from your face or you can use it to keep your long locks from falling in your face. Just make sure that the bling on your headband works with the sparkles on your dress. You don't want the two to compete – or to clash.

Pins and Combs

Hairpieces are designed to do two things – add an interesting touch of sparkle to your hair – and to keep your hair in place. You can do both with decorative pins and combs. Today, they come adorned with crystals, rhinestones and silk flowers.

If they're small, scatter the pins throughout an up-do for a princess look. If the comb is large and designed for heavy duty use, get one large one that can keep everything in place. The combs can sweep hair up and off your neck, anchor a French twist or hold piles of curls atop your head. You can even use a comb to anchor your veil so even a wild wedding dance won't shake it lose.

Veils

Speaking of veils, you've got plenty from which to choose – short veils, cathedral veils and more. Consider a short veil if you don't want it to obscure the view of the back of your dress. As odd as that may sound, some dresses have very distinct backs – perhaps a designer bow or an elaborate bustle. Whatever it is, you probably want a veil that won't hide it. Some short veils are nothing more than netting that falls about chin length. Most short veils cascade and end just below your shoulders. Cathedral veils are long, thin veils that can catch the wind for a very dramatic look – or can cover your shoulders, giving you a cloistered, romantic look.

One tip is to keep the veil at the back of your hair, so the focus is on your face. Another option is the blusher veil. In olden days, this was the sweep of tulle that covered your face until you were presented to your groom by your father – or whoever was giving you away. That may seem dated for some, but for traditionalists, the image of a shy bride can be breathtaking.

As you can see, there are many categories of headpieces – and almost countless styles within each of those categories. If you've already got your dress, the next thing to do is try one style to see which works best with your dress, your personality and the style of your wedding. After that, head to the hairdresser.

Do this months before the wedding so you can try out a few hairstyles. There are few worse nightmares than finding out on your wedding day that your short veil looks horrible with your hairdo – or that the hairdo you've always wanted won't work with the headband you've selected. Do yourself a favor and take a couple trial runs with your hairdresser. Bring a photograph of you in your dress so the hairdresser can see the lines involved. You'll be glad you did.
