Style your hair in a fashion similar to the way you'll wear it for the wedding, then shop around for the perfect addition to your bridal ensemble.
1. Your face shape is a primary guide to choocing a headpiece: Oval-faced women can generally choose from all styles; those with round faces may look better in a tiara wich lengthens the look a little; larger floral wreaths and wide headbands flatter women with longer faces.
2. Slip on a decorated headband, which you can also have designed to closely match the fabric of your dress. Choose a narrow and delicately jeweled band if your hair is short; for long hair, choose from a wider silk or satin band.
3. For shoulder-length or longer hair; adorn your hair with a decorated comb.
4. Try an elegant wreath of pearls and flowers for a formal dress or a floral wreath if you're wearing a semiformal dress
5. Round Face: Accessorize with a fashionable tiara - a good choice for any length hair, worn up or down.
6. Consider a hat - You will find everything from a subtle pillbox to a wide-brimmed Southern-style hat. Your choice will depend on the style of your dress.
7. Clip long hair back in a barrette. Choose one made that is adorned with satin, beaded or lace . For shorter hair, try a smaller jeweled version to hold back your bangs.
8. Check out your options. Bridal stores, magazines and beauty supply stores are good
9. Take a small swatch of your wedding gown as you shop for accessories. It will also be benificial to have a photo of your wedding gown. This will help in deciding what complements the fabric and styling of your wedding gown
10. Consider a detachable veil on your headpiece. You can remove the veil for the reception and still be adorned throughout the event.
