Serving as an anchor for the veil, the bridal headpiece has become an important detail of the wedding attire. It holds the veil in place throughout the event, while creating an elegant look for the bride. Some brides prefer to wear it without the veil, but still, the bridal headpiece creates a style statement of its own.

To help you in choosing the perfect wedding headpiece, here are some tips.

• Decide on your wedding hairdo. Your hairstyle will dictate which bridal headpiece is appropriate for you.

• Choose the headpiece style that complements with your wedding theme. As you try on different headpieces, keep a photo of your dress handy to visualize the style that works well with the look you are trying to achieve.

• Consider the shape of your face. Bridal headpieces look best if they complement the shape of the bride’s face. For faces that are oval-shaped, tiaras or crowns are the ideal choice. For those with longer faces, headbands work best.

• When it comes to stye, choose a more vintage design. Vintage hair accessories are never out of style, so ask your mother and older aunts for help in choosing a bridal headpiece. Or you might ask them to lend you something pretty from their own closet.
