I just love when brides arrive for their trial with a gorgeous headpiece. It totally transforms any style from boho to classic glamour. There is so much choice, but here are a few things to consider when choosing a headpiece.

Below are some helpful tips to keep in mind when choosing your headpiece from Megan Therese, founder of Couture Bridal Accessories.

Your dress
Make sure you choose a headpiece which compliments your dress. Forehead bands for boho gowns and classic combs and tiaras for traditional brides.

Your style
Stay true to yourself and know your style. Make sure you feel like you on your wedding day and choose a piece which is in line with your own personal style.

Hairstyle
Choose your hairstyle first! It’s important you feel comfortable on your wedding day and wear your hair in a style which you adore. The headpiece comes after and has to work around your hairstyle.

Types
There are so many types to choose from! From combs to crowns and everything in between. The thing to remember is you will be wearing this piece all day, so security and comfort is key.

Hair types
For brides with fine hair, I would stay away from heavier pieces on combs as these can slip through fine hair easily.

Less is more!
If in doubt, less is more. If you can’t resist the full on wedding veil with lace trimming then keep your headpiece simple. If veils just aren’t your thing, then you can go bold with the headpiece. It’s all about balance!

Placing the veil
So this is the moment you’ve dreamed of. You have enjoyed one of the most special mornings of your life with your family and those amazing women in your life, your bridesmaids. Everyone is looking gorgeous with their hair and makeup done and all in their beautiful gowns you’ve chosen.

The mother of the bride puts in her fascinator, puts on her hat, they have helped you into your dress and everyone gasps at how gorgeous you look, so now the final step - placing the veil.
I always stay until you are ready, to place the veil in position and make sure it is secure. Now, tissues at the ready, this is it, now go and get married!
