Tips for Choosing a Wedding Head Piece

It’s your wedding day in beautiful Gilbert Arizona and you’ve taken the extra precautions needed to ensure that everything is perfect.

It’s time to walk down the aisle so you take one last look in the mirror and make a head to toe check:

• Hair styled – check
• Earrings on – check
• Necklace fastened – check
• Wedding gown zipped – double check
• Shoes polished – check
• Veil set – ?????

There is nothing that will ruin a wedding day faster than a bride who forgot something.  Although it’s rare that a bride forgets to buy a veil or hair accessories it does happen.  The times when it does happen is typically because a bride hasn’t thought about or decided what type of headpiece will match her beautiful gown or how she’ll wear her hair.
So we’ve put together a list of headpieces that go with different styles of wedding gowns and hairstyles:

• Your headpiece should match your dress.  If you’re wearing a simple wedding gown then coordinate it with a less elaborate hairpiece.  However, a detailed gown calls for a more ornate headpiece whether that be a veil, ribbons, crown or combs.

• Your veil length should coordinate with the length of your gown; the shorter the dress, the shorter the veil. Wear a chapel or cathedral length veil with a train, a ballet or fingertip with an ankle-length dress, and a blusher with a short dress.

• Consider your faces bone structure when choosing a headpiece.  For example, if your face is full perhaps try adding height with a tiara.  If you have a long, narrow face you should add width to your headpiece.
