How to Choose a Headpiece That Matches Your Bridal Gown
August 12, 2015
Your big day is coming up and you have found the dress you plan to walk down the aisle in. While this is the most important dress you'll ever wear, the dress is just one piece of your attire for the day. Many Brides enjoy wearing beautiful headpieces to help accent the dress. This has been done for centuries and Brides of all traditions still choose to incorporate this into their attire. The headpiece is seen by everyone, so it's important to find one that will complement your style and look. There are all types of varieties, styles, and even colors to choose from. You want to make sure you choose one that not only looks great, but that matches your bridal gown as well. Here are some tips to choosing the best headpiece for your bridal gown.

Right Sizing

One of the first things you want to be sure of is that your headpiece fits you properly. In order to do this, you need to try it on. It's a good idea to practice walking around in it and moving in it to see if it could possibly fall off. You want to make sure the headpiece is secure no matter how much you move. If you find one that fits right, you can then feel more confident when you wear it on your big day.

Consider Your Style

If you choose an elaborate wedding dress, then you want to go with the same style headpiece. You want to find the right balance though. Everyone's eyes should be on you and not your attire. You want the dress to accentuate your best features so why not have your headpiece do the same? If you go with a plain headpiece, you want to make sure it matches up to the style of the dress. If you have a long dress, it is proper to have a longer veil, while a short dress should be complemented with a short veil.

Select the Right Hairstyle

Your headpiece is going to be affected by how you style your hair. You want to make sure that your hairstyle works well with the headpiece you select. The length of your hair will also dictate how long your headpiece is so you want to go ahead and have an idea of what your hairstyle will be for the wedding if possible.

Removable Veils

One option available for Brides is to have a headpiece with a removable veil. This allows you to change up your look a little bit after the ceremony when things aren't as formal. If your headpiece does not have a removable veil already, chances are you could turn it into one very easily by removing the veil and then reattaching it with velcro. This can make things easier when you move around at the Reception and you don't have to worry about damaging it.
