Bridal hair accessories are an increasingly popular detail to complete the bridal look. Whether it’s a small set of rhinestone-embellished bobby pins, a headband or something more eye-catching, it could be the perfect finishing touch for many outfits. And they are not just for an aesthetic factor: their practical applications should not be underestimated.
First rule: don’t change your appearance
If you don’t normally like overly elaborate hairstyles, don’t change things just because you’re getting married. Avoid bridal hair accessories that are too demanding and large, if you don’t think you can “endure” them for too long. If, on the other hand, you like to dare with scenographic looks, get ready to amaze everyone, as Federica Pellegrini did for her Di lei wedding. And remember that marriage is yours: you don’t have to please anyone but yourself.
Pair the bridal hair accessories with the rest of the look
Shoes and jewelry are usually the first thought when it comes to pairings with the dress, but bridal hair accessories should be the same. For example, if you opt for a gold-colored crown, keep the same finishes of the details of the dress, such as embroidery and applications.
Take the accessory to the hairstyle (and dress) test
In case you have already chosen them, be sure to bring the bridal hair accessories, so that the hair stylist can get an idea of how they will move and move over the course of several hours. Take some time to understand if the chosen accessory convinces you. It is too heavy? Has it remained in its place? Eventually, you can make any adjustments to make sure your hair is perfect.
Correctly attach the accessory to the hair
If it is not fixed well, the accessory could lose its grip and “mess up” the wedding hairstyle. For this reason, it’s best to prep your hair with a texturizing product that adds extra grip. Last but not least, everything will have to be fixed with a strong hairspray.
Don’t change anything
It may be that the hair stylist took a long time to position the hair accessory exactly where it should be, so that the rest of the hairstyle could rotate around it. Better not to make any changes that could change the final result and even risk dropping everything.
Hair accessories shouldn’t distract attention from the bride
Better to avoid super trendy bridal hair accessories, just because they are in fashion. One day, looking back at the wedding photos, you might regret wearing them. When in doubt, something understated and delicate is always the best choice. And, by the way…
Less is more
If the wedding dress is classic and simple, you can create a pleasant contrast thanks to a particular and high-impact hair accessory. On the contrary, a dress full of details is better combined with more minimal wedding hair accessories.
