The Bride's Heart

Every aspect of your wedding attire should be special. Everything will be selected with the utmost attention to detail. That includes your wedding hairstyles, as well as your wedding headdress choices.

In part, what you are wearing for a gown will dictate your wedding headdress, but the biggest part of it will be what you like, what you want, and what you feel most comfortable wearing.

Many brides find that they would prefer to keep things simple and more plain, while others would like something more  ostentatious and showy. It’s your wedding, it’s your choice. It happens just once in a lifetime. Make your wedding day, your gown and your headdress all something that are uniquely your own.

Such a wide array of wedding headdresses exist now that you can practically find anything you want.   Your choices are virtually limitless. You can elect to spend a few hundred dollars, to make it yourself, or to spend many thousands of dollars on a highly embellished headdress.

A few of the  choices you might want to consider are found below.

A medieval-style headdress- Bonnet Headdress

These are very opulent. You will feel like a princess and look like one as well. Best suited to the more elegant gowns, they are like small bonnets that sit toward the crown of the head and a veil flows from them. Most are encrusted with seed pearls or sequins . They suit an elegant, ostentatious gown and a long flowing veil style.

Hats

A hat-ranging from a jaunty cocktail type hat to the overly floppy brim you will find virtually anything available to you in this style had. You may wear the smaller cocktail type hat with a short net veil that doesn’t cover the face, but merely a portion of it, or they can quite nicely accommodate a longer fingertip type veil attached to the back.

The larger hats handle a longer veil quite nicely when attached to the back of it. Many brides do not wear the veil over their features but elect instead to have it trailing behind. This is the most common way of using the veil as an accessory to your headdress these days.

The larger floppy hats, such as a sun hat are popular with outdoor weddings. Trimmed with ribbon and flowers, (ivy is popular) they are attractive and stylish and suit an outside wedding admirably.
