Delicate and flexible pieces that can be woven into different hairstyles or wrap around the head.
- BRIDAL COMB:
Perfect for adding a touch of sparkle to any bridal hairstyle, including a half-up -half-down hairstyle, or accenting a chignon.
- HAIR PINS and HAIR CLIPS: Ideal for adding subtle accents on the front, side or back of the hair.
- HALO TIARAS: Ideal for brides that want to wear a tiara but a bit more of a subtle projection above the head is desired.
How to Choose the Right Bridal Headpiece:
Consider your wedding dress style and neckline and patterning in the gown.
- Look to the patterns in the lines of your gown and find a piece that has similar shapes.
- A gown “with a lot going on” i.e. sparkle and / or lace - NEEDS a headpiece that creates cohesion with the look of the dress. You need something above the neck that also matches in level of opulence to finish the look.
Accent your hairstyle with a headpiece, tiara or hair clips.
- Headpiece styles are interchangeable with hairstyles, but…for example - a Chignon is beautifully accented with a hair clip like the JACQUELINE and Half-Up styles always look gorgeous with tiaras or headbands like the LAUREL
Complement your face shape with the right headpiece.
- An elongated face shape should choose a bandeau type tiara like the RANIER or a headband like the AMELIA or GRANDE FABRICE.
- A round or oval face shape would work with a peaked tiara like the VERONA or LOVER’S KNOT Tiaras
