Bridal Headwear
Maybe you’ve always dreamed of the perfect long veil that your groomwould drape back at the end of the ceremony or maybe you’re taking anon-traditional route with your wedding and can’t see any place for aveil or a princess tiara. When it comes to your bridal headwear, thereare as many options as there are wedding gowns so it’s important tofirst have a basic idea of what you want. Once you have a general ideaof what you want, you can then take a closer look at your options.
Veils
Veils are among the most popular of choices that you have for ahairpiece but just because you’ve chosen a veil doesn’t mean thatyou’re locked into one certain look. There is a huge variety ofdifferent types of veils and each style and type generally has its ownlength. The longest veils are cathedral veils and these can reach 9feet or more. These make a very dramatic and bold statement but youhave to make sure that you can handle carrying around that muchmaterial with you. If you like the idea of a cathedral veil but don’tlike the idea of something that long, chapel veils are floor-lengthveils that are much more manageable. If you still think that’s too longfor you, you could try shorter veils such as fingertip, elbow length,or flyaway veils.
If you choose to wear a veil as your bridalheadwear, it’s important to note that long veils are not consideredappropriate for casual weddings. If you are having a casual wedding andstill want to wear a veil, consider wearing a veiled hat, which willstill have the veiled effect. Also try and buy the veil and dresstogether so you can be sure they will look good together. If you buythem separately, buy your dress first and bring it with you when tryingon veils.
Tiaras
If veils are the number one choice of brides, tiaras are a veryclose second. Tiaras are a great option and can look especially perfectwhen you pair it with a princess-style dress. But choosing a tiaradoesn’t narrow down your choices any, there are just as many here asthere are with veils.
Different Options
You may want to have something completely different for your bridalheadwear, especially if you’re having a wedding that’s more casual. Forgarden or beach weddings, small flowers woven throughout your hair canmake a stunning headpiece or ask a florist to make a halo out of yourfavorite flowers. If you’re having an outdoor ceremony, you may chooseto wear a large sunhat or if it’s an evening wedding, a small cappedhat with colorful bird feathers, such as peacock feathers, shooting outfrom it.
When it comes to your bridal headwear, there’s nodoubt that you have all the options you could want, and probably evenmore than that! Take your time choosing and make sure you’re trulyhappy with what you decide your hairpiece reveals as much about yourpersonality as your dress does. And if you can’t find anything that youfall in love with and decide on just a very pretty hairstyle, that’salways okay too!
