and Formal Wear |
|
It is generally best to choose a headpiece style that is in proportion to your dress and has similar styling (pearls, sequins, beads, flowers, etc.). Keep in mind the style of your dress and the formality of your wedding when looking for and trying on bridal veils. You will want to choose a veil that compliments
the hair style you will be wearing on your special day as well. |
| A Simple Floral Wreath can open
up your face and add just the right touch to a semi-formal dress.
In Hawaii this is called a Haku! A Wreath With Pearls and Flowers with a pouf on the back can be very elegant with a formal dress. Tiaras are always elegant. Think of your jewelry and the color of your gown when choosing the tiara setting. There are four general setting colors: Shiny Silver, Rhodium (antique silver), Shiny Gold and Antique Gold. Headband type head pieces are very effective for short hairstyles with bangs and can have the added touch of being created with the same lace, pearls or sequins used for the dress. A Floral Cluster or Silk Bow on a comb or barrette can do a beautiful job of pulling hair off your face and work well with long or upswept hair. In Hawaii we use a lot of fresh flowers both in our Haku's (head leis) and attached to head bands. Loose flowers are always an option too! |

The veil length is chosen by the formality of your wedding and the decoration on the back of your gown. Guidelines for veil length may help you, but remember, this is your wedding and you should have the veil of your dreams. Blusher/Shoulder Length is usually combined
with other lengths and is used for both formal and semi-formal
weddings. Veils can be made detachable, worn long for the formality of the wedding ceremony and shorter or none at all for the fun of the reception. Remember, your bridal veil should celebrate your individuality, and make you look and feel beautiful. It's your wedding. Enjoy! |
