Finding Your Perfect Wedding Hair Accessories: A Step-by-Step Guide

Your wedding day is such a special and meaningful occasion, and we know how important it is to find the perfect hair accessories to complete your look. With so many options to choose from however, it can feel a little overwhelming, but don’t worry! Our step-by-step guide is here to help you find the perfect hair accessories for your big day. Let’s make this process fun and stress-free together!

Step 1: Consider Your Hairstyle

Before you start shopping for hair accessories, it’s important to consider the hairstyle you want for your wedding day. Are you planning to wear your hair up, down, or half-up/half-down? Different hairstyles will require different types of hair accessories, so having an idea of your desired style will help narrow down your options. For some inspiration, check out these beautiful wedding hairstyles to suit every bridal style. Your hairstylist will also help you to bring your bridal vision to life too during a consultation and should also be able to advise you on the best styles to compliment your face shape too.

Step 2: Match Your Dress

Your wedding dress is the centerpiece of your bridal look, and your hair accessories should complement it. Take a close look at the details on your dress, such as lace, beading, or embroidery, and choose hair accessories that match or complement these details. For example, if your dress has delicate lace, consider wearing a lace hairpiece or headband.

If you’ve chosen a boho inspired dress with free flowing sleeves, consider pairing a flower crown or floral inspired hair vine with cascading curls for that extra touch of whimsy.

Step 3: Consider Your Personal Style

Your wedding day is a reflection of you and your partner, so it’s important to incorporate your personal style into your bridal look. If you’re a bohemian bride, consider floral crowns or hair vines. For a romantic look, opt for delicate pearl hairpins or a shimmering hair comb. For a classic bridal look, a sparkly tiara with a flowing veil is sure to add a wow factor to your ensemble. If you’re more of a minimalist, a simple hair comb or clip may be the perfect choice.

Step 4: Think About Your Venue and Theme

It may also help to consider your wedding venue and theme when choosing your hair accessories. If you’re having a beach wedding for example, opt for natural and organic hair accessories like seashell clips or floral crowns. For a glamorous ballroom wedding, you may want to consider statement headpieces embellished with crystals or pearls.

Step 5: Ask a Friend for Feedback

Once you have a general idea of the type of hair accessories you’re looking for, it’s time to start trying them on. We highly recommend bringing along a trusted friend or family member to give you feedback on the hair accessories you try on. They can offer a fresh perspective and help you make decisions about which accessories work best with your overall bridal look. It’s also a good idea to take photos of yourself wearing the accessories so you can see how they look in pictures. This can be a great way to build excitement for the big day with your bridal party or the Mother of the Bride or Groom!

Step 7: Consider Comfort and Wearability

Ultimately, your wedding day is a long and special occasion, so it’s important to choose hair accessories that are comfortable and easy to wear. Consider the weight of the accessories and how they feel in your hair. You’ll want to be able to move and dance without worrying about your accessories slipping or becoming uncomfortable!

Step 8: Finalize Your Choice

Once you’ve tried on different options, received feedback, and considered comfort and wearability, it’s time to finalize your choice. Trust your instincts and go with the hair accessories that make you feel beautiful and confident. Remember, this is your day, and you deserve to look and feel amazing from head to toe. Happy shopping and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
