Can You Wear a Necklace with a Larger Wedding Hair Piece?

Will a necklace look too much with a larger wedding hair piece or wedding headband?

It’s a question I’m often asked and does depend on a number of factors:

1. If your bridal gown is very detailed a lot of jewellery can be overdone – it’s best to stick with just a bridal hair piece as it’s further away from the dress than a necklace.  A nice pair of medium size earrings will compliment the hair piece nicely.  If your dress does not have a lot of detail you can be a little more adventurous as in the picture to the right.  Hair up works best with this.

2. Are you a smaller person?  If so, your jewellery is much closer together than on someone who is tall so it may be safer to choose between a necklace or a hair piece to avoid the “christmas tree” look!  Wear a bracelet with your necklace or hair piece if you love jewellery so you’re not missing out.  A taller person’s bridal jewellery is more spread out and they can get away with a bit more jewellery without being overdone.

3. Think about your photos:  Jewellery always looks less in photos than to the naked eye so if you love jewellery and want to make a statement with your jewels on your wedding day be careful not to under-do your jewellery and then be disappointed when you get your photos and your jewellery doesn’t really show up.  Your photos last a lifetime so be yourself but don’t be scared to be adventurous with your jewellery and leave a lasting impression.

Bridal Hair Piece Trends

Bridal Hair Piece - BH-320It’s hard to say which of my bridal hair pieces is the most popular at the moment as such a wide variety of them are being sold.  Hair pieces in general are definitely in fashion and add an elegant touch.

Earlier this year I had rush on the BH-320 Emma Hair Piece which people just love due to it’s uniqueness, vintage look and beautiful sparkle but it is also quite versatile being able to be worn in a number of different positions. For a smaller option though, the BH-140 Curls Hair Piece is also a lovely piece. Just recently the Dimitria Hair Piece BH-310 has been quite popular for one of the larger and also unique head pieces.
