‘Garbo’ headpiece – €150 from Hello Forever Headpieces
If you’re usually a bona fide accessories fiend in everyday life, or even if you’re just embracing the vintage or boho look for your wedding day, there’s one thing that your crowning glory simply can’t be without – a bridal headpiece. From Rita Ora-style floral crowns, to Florence Welch-style vintage bridal headpieces, we’ve got ’em all right here, to help you get ahead of the trend!
- ‘Suzi’ headpiece, €243 from Jules Bridal Jewellery. Draping pearls that meet in the centre of the forehead scream out for a relaxed down-style and a smokey eye look. Keep lips nude for an authentic boho look, or vamp it up with deep red to echo the drama of the roaring 20s.
2. ‘Lana’ headpiece, €150 from Hello Forever Headpieces. This one’s perfect for a loose up-style that could do with that finishing touch. Make sure your hairdresser hides the band in your tresses, so as it can’t be seen in your photographs.
3. Pearl and Swarovski crystals ‘Dahlia P’ headpiece. €222 from Jules Bridal Jewellery. This one teams perfectly with a vintage style lace wedding dress.
4. The simple design of this ‘Sarah’ headpiece, €150 from Hello Forever Headpieces, means it can be worn with any style of dress. We would, however, recommend staying away from headpieces altogether if you’re going for a dress with a high neckline, or you’ll risk ending up looking quite fussy.
5. Many florists will be able to create a bespoke fresh floral crown for you, if you ask.
5. We can see this ‘Vivien’ headpiece, €135 from Hello Forever Headpieces, being worn with a bright red lip, 50s style tea-length wedding dress and sparkly red shoes – perfect for a winter wedding and for showing off those pins!
6. Of course, your headpiece doesn’t have to be made of jewels. You can use practically any material, but we’ve seriously fallen for this dried flower bridal crown headpiece by AmoreBride on Etsy. You could make this a serious focal point like the model above has, by using sprigs of lavender in your bouquet and some subtle purple eyeliner to complement the look.

7. Most florists will be able to create your own bespoke fresh floral crown, if you ask and talk to them about it well in advance.
8. Bring even more attention to your eyes, the window to your soul, by lowering your headpiece so as it just sits on your browbone. Pictured above is the ‘Harlow’ headpiece, €150e from Hello Forever Headpieces.

9. Proving that headpieces still look rockin’ on even the shortest of hair, is this leaf and blosson headpiece from Fascinationbaby on Etsy.
10. Finally, this leaf headband with vine and berries would look just godly with a Grecian-style dress. Buy it from Wishpiece on Etsy.
