My favorite items to browse at the moment are hairpieces. My sister is getting married soon, and her dress is going to be high cut with a big flower over one shoulder, so a necklace is out… but I’m searching headbands and combs just for the fun of it! Here are some of my favorites!!

Headbands

There’s something about this fern headband that makes me want to revisit my wedding hairstyle. It comes in gold or silver, but I absolutely LOVE it in gold! It also converts to a choker necklace.

This 3-D Alvina Headband is simply showstopping! I want it!

This Breena Headband is a bit more delicate, but equally gorgeous. I Love the filigree accents, and remember that the crystals are available in any color!

For something stunning yet subtle, try this crystal rhinestone headband:

Bracelets & Cuffs

Another great accessory that allows you go all-out (especially if you will have a busy dress or hairstyle) is a bracelet or cuff.  Below, the Breena Bracelet (yes, matches that Breena Headband I adore), the Edina Bracelet (which is meant to be work tightly like a watch) and the Alvina Bracelet, (silver or gold leaf):

Earings:

Clementine Earrings, Rosemary Earrings, and Sage Earrings

Veils

Tigerlily also has a selection of veils in every length, but for some intense old-new glamor, a birdcage veil is the ultimate accessory. Here are some stunning options… The Frances Birdcage is available in black, ivory, white, red, or champagne. (Peacock hairpins are available separately!)  The limited edition birdcage veil is made entirely of fine Silver and Swarovski crystal, and comes with a feather comb with Swarovski crystal accents.

OK, that’s enough from me! Check out their necklaces, tiaras, brooches, veils, and other accessories to find the perfect pieces for you! Just one word of caution before you go browsing… the prices can be steep, but if you absolutely MUST have it, you can rent many pieces for a fraction of the price!

Sleek and Sculpted

The ultimate in sophistication is beautiful, sleek, shining hair, pulled back into a coiled bun or teased into a modern beehive. These timeless styles will have you ready to walk down the isle… or the red carpet… in no time!

Loose and Lovely

This look of effortless elegance will do for the most casual of beach weddings or the most extravagant event of the year.  Starting with an extreme side part, sweep your hair back in sections and pin the ends under. Anchor straggling ends with jeweled hair combs. Or try a low ponytail that’s teased before being styled into a loose chignon.

Romantic

If you’ve spent a lifetime dreaming of your prince, a loose up-do with soft, wispy tendrils or sensual, sweeping curls would suit your fairy tale style.Two long plaits are wrapped around the head for an earthy-but-angelic look. A classic French twist is just right for starry-eyed brides seeking a sweet yet simple up-do.

Glamorous

Want to achieve the dramatic look of a silver screen star, like this Audrey Hepburn coiffure? Pile your hair up… It’s all about height and sculpted curls… and don’t forget the red lipstick!

Hair Accents and Accessories

Put the finishing touch on your up-do with earls and rhinestones, ribbons and feathers…A tiara is always classic, or a crown of crystal flowers. Not a tiara type of girl? Try feathers, sparkling clips or a headband. You can achieve the glamor of an up-do even if your hair barely grazes your earlobes. Here, curls are caught up in a headband by Jennifer Behr, jenniferbehr.com.

Flower Power

For just a few dollars, you can purchase nature’s perfect adornment, and they come in every size, shape, and color. A couple fresh blooms tucked among your curls, a big, exotic blossom, or an entire crown of mulit-color flowers will transform you into a fairy princess or the Queen of May.
