How To Pick Your Perfect Wedding Headpiece

We caught up with renowned South Florida hairstylist and owner of Phairis Bridal Hairstyling, Rebecca Mousseau to get some expert tips for our brides-to-be.  One of the tricky bridal beauty decisions to make is choosing the right hairstyle and the right headpiece to match your dress.

A common problem brides battle is a disconnect between their fabulous hairstylist and their equally fabulous bridal wear consultant.  While both may be experts in their own domain, it is imperative that the looks created are complementary. Great hair and a great dress don't necessarily equal a great overall look.  Both elements have to fit together flawlessly.

In today's Bridal Beauty blog, Rebecca shares the tricks to choosing the perfect bridal headpiece to complete any bridal look.

According to Rebecca, finding the perfect hairpiece for your special day is no small task. One rule of thumb to always follow is her “Busy & Simple” Theory. If your dress is busy and has a lot going on, such as frills, lace, beading etc. you’re hairpiece should be simple and smaller in size.

If your gown is more of a simple style, your hairpiece should be busy! Large flowers, bird cage veils, beaded and feathered hairpieces add that extra glamorous touch to your look.

You want your hair accessory to flow seamlessly with your gown and not be overbearing. Creating a style board is a great way to see which hair piece would best suit your personal style and your gown.

Here are a few great tips for narrowing down your chooses!

Bridal gowns adorned in lace are a huge hit this season and Rebecca has put together a few options for hair pieces that not only enhance your look but flow beautifully with your gown.

Lace gowns are so eye catching and elegant you don’t need a whole lot in your hair. Small to medium sized vintage pieces are your best bet. Whether you wear them on one side or in the back, they add just enough sparkle and bling to your look. Fresh flowers and feathered clips also add that special touch.

Nothing shows curves like a mermaid bridal gown and Rebecca has chosen the best hair pieces to suit each style. Whether you’re wearing a simpler gown or an all-out extravagant dress, here’s her picks!

For dresses with lace, frills and glamorous embellishments, your hair piece can take the back seat. Opt for something simpler such as a fresh flower, small rhinestone hair clips or a feather creation.

For mermaid gowns that are stunningly simple, opt for something a little more over-the-top when it comes to your hair piece. Large faux flowers and full headpieces as well as bird cage veils will add a vintage twist, adding timeless style to a modern gown.

Ballroom Gowns are the Cinderella story, played out by every bride who chooses one!

Fresh flowers or small to medium sized hair pins work best with this style of dress. Fresh flowers are soft and romantic while embellished hair clips add just enough sparkle to your already WOW gown.

The "flower child" look has become quite popular, especially for outdoor weddings. These whimsical hair accessories can be made of either fresh or faux flowers.

Halo’s are usually worn with more simple dresses in either lace or taffeta and can be made from a wide variety of flowers. They can either sit on the forehead or be worn like a head band. You can make them extra special by incorporating a brooch or your “something borrowed” to add a little bling and personality.
