3 Tips to Help You Pick the Perfect Wedding Headpiece

My dear brides-to-be, if you have already found your wedding gown, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Next step? Deciding whether you are going to wear a veil or a headpiece. This will be the icing on the cake for your bridal ensemble, so make sure you choose the right item that flatters both your face and dress. I really am in love with sparkly headpieces so, if you are on my team and you already mentally ticked something between a pretty tiara, a headband, a floral piece or a comb, let me help you with three quick tips:

1. Match Your Headpiece to Your Wedding Theme

If you are going to be a classic, elegant bride, a tiara or a comb will be the perfect choice. To complement a hippy-chic ensemble, choose a crown-like floral accessory. A vintage-style bride will look fabulous with a birdcage veil attached to her headpiece, or channelling a feathered accessory.

2. Let the Headpiece Flatter Your Face

The best thing is to try several styles before deciding on one. This will help you find what best suits your face shape: a long, narrow visage requires a piece that adds width, while a round face will get some height with a pretty tiara or a headband. Oval faces are flattered by almost any headpiece (lucky you!), square faces ask for wide headbands that balance out the angular jaws, and heart-shaped faces look amazing with halo pieces.

3. Choose a Headpiece that Fits Well

When you find a wedding headpiece you like, try it on and keep it on your head for a while so you can understand how comfortable it is. You don’t need something that feels like slipping off anytime. It must be practical when you dance, hug and kiss people or turn your head to the cameras. Trust me, the last thing you want is a stressful accessory on top of your head.

Hoping I made the hunt a bit easier, I now leave you to some fabulous inspiration. A well-chosen headpiece adds just the right amount of bridal pizzazz, so make sure you shine like a supernova on your big day, girls!
