Crowning Glory
While a wedding veil can be a lovely accessory for a bride to wear as she waltzes up the aisle to her beloved, it can also be a hindrance to relaxing and enjoying herself later on in the evening during the reception. That is why many brides are now choosing to remove their formal veils after their ceremony and pictures have been taken. It can be replaced by a headpiece that is more comfortable, and easier to wear, while still retaining the elegance and formality of a veil.
With a tiara or headband you can have it all. By designing your wedding hairstyle jointly around your wedding veil and your tiara or headpiece you can easily switch from one to another, without having to rearrange your hair. However some brides want that complete makeover, whereby their hair is restyled to fit the new headpiece. An innocent and demure hairstyle to be paired with their veil for the ceremony and a more elegant sophisticated "just married" look, paired with a tiara for the reception. It is a trend becoming more popular among brides that are looking to make the most out of their day.
If you're looking for a quicker, less expensive solution that can have just as much panache, switching out your headpiece can be just the thing.
If this is a look you are striving at achieve, you may also want to look more closely at those headpieces that come with a veil that can be easily removed. Perfect for that bridal look and feel at your ceremony, the removable veil is the perfect solution for those looking for ease at their reception. Some come with clips, others with Velcro and others are made with combs for an easy attachment.
Whichever style you choose, above all else, look for comfort. Where possible wear the headpiece alone for an extended period of time to garner how comfortable it will be. Those areas that pinch or rub, can possibly be cushioned by your hairdressers artful arrangement, so be sure to speak with her about them. Getting a headache from a too tight headpiece is a sure way to leave you with bad memories of your wedding day.
Choose a headpiece with care and you're crowning glory will be your wedding day.
