Every girl dreams of being the most beautiful bride, a real fairy-tale princess, and makes every effort to achieve this. And for a princess, everything must be perfect: the dress for the most important ball of her life, shoes more beautiful than Cinderella’s, and, of course, the perfect hairstyle. So, the difficult choice of a wedding dress is behind you, the best pair of wedding shoes has been selected, and now it’s time to choose both the hairstyle and the accessories for it. And, we can assure you, this is a difficult and very important choice.
Before you start choosing hair accessories, we recommend that you consult with a stylist, discuss the concept of your hairstyle with them, and determine your wishes. Then you can start looking for the right hairpins or barrettes for you.
The modern fashionable wedding industry offers an unprecedentedly wide selection of hair accessories. These include combs, hairpins, barrettes, fabric flowers and wreaths, and the latest inventions—hair rhinestones, crab clips, and flowers with Velcro fasteners. But first things first.
So, hairpins. They come in two types: plain, silver or black, and decorated, i.e. embellished with some bright detail: beads, rhinestones or flowers. Regular pins are used to secure strands of hair together and create the base of the hairstyle. As a rule, 10 to 50 pins are required for a medium-complexity hairstyle. If necessary, you can choose either long (about 6 cm) (can be of different colors) or short (about 4 cm) (can be of different colors) pins.
Choosing decorative hairpins is much more difficult: they need to harmonize with your outfit and other hair accessories (if any). A simple example: if your dress is embroidered with pearls, then you should choose hairpins with pearls or ones that go well with them.
You will need approximately 3 to 10 such hairpins, depending on the size of the decoration, the presence of other decorative elements in your hair, and the complexity of your hairstyle. The White Swan wedding salon has over 150 types of decorative hairpins in its assortment, so even the most discerning bride can find what she needs here.
Hair clips are also an important tool for creating beautiful hairstyles. They are divided into two types: simple, without decoration, and decorated. Plain hair clips are used to secure strands inside the hairstyle, attach a tiara or veil. They come in different colors (silver, gold, black, white) and lengths (from 4 to 6 cm). You will need 10-20 hair clips to create a simple hairstyle on medium-length hair. Decorated invisible hair clips themselves become a full-fledged decoration for the hairstyle, combining a decorative function with a practical one. They are most often silver or gold in color with various additions of rhinestones or fabric. You will need approximately 2 to 8 of these for not very long hair.
Hair springs (tropikanki), also known as rhinestones for hairstyles, are essentially a modified type of hairpin that is very easy to attach to the hair and can be used both for a look created by a stylist and for independent styling or to slightly change your hairstyle during an event (for example, if you have taken off your veil and want to decorate your hair). They can even be used on loose strands and thin hair – in all cases where the use of ordinary hairpins is inconvenient. There are many options for hair clips—individual rhinestones, large or small, butterflies, flowers, stars, and entire compositions of elements.
Hair clips are perhaps one of the most convenient ways to secure and decorate strands of hair at the same time. They can be used to create both complex, voluminous hairstyles and simple everyday styles. Available in a variety of sizes, materials, and colors, these hair clips are an indispensable accessory for modern fashionistas. A wedding hairstyle can also be complemented with crab clips, without losing any of its elegance and brightness. Silver with pearls or gold with rhinestones—you just need to choose the right ones. The number of clips used can vary from 2-3 to 30, depending on the length of the hair and the complexity of the styling.
However, you can also use the most traditional hairstyle decoration option, which women have been using since ancient times, namely, attaching flowers to their hair. These can be whole wreaths, to which a veil can be attached, individual flowers on flexible stems that are attached directly to the hairstyle, flowers on hairpins, and those that are attached to the hair with Velcro tape, commonly known as sticky tape. The number, size, and shade are also determined by you, depending on how the flower or flowers match the dress, your hair color, and other hair accessories. However, if the flowers are large, it is not worth overloading the hairstyle with them, and if they are small, then if there are not enough of them, the hairstyle risks looking somewhat unfinished. By the way, flowers on Velcro are also very easy to attach to strands and are an excellent option for decorating hairstyles for women with short hair.
Hair clips are also a very convenient option for not only gathering strands together, but also decorating your hairstyle. Whether you choose metal clips with rhinestones or plastic ones decorated with, for example, the same flowers, you can be sure that your hairstyle will look elegant and neat—after all, this is a timeless classic. If the hair clip is large and richly decorated, it is not worth combining it with any other decorative elements for the hairstyle, but if the hair clips are small, you can use several of them.
In short, no matter how complex you want your hairstyle to be and how difficult it may seem to find the right accessories for it, wedding fashion keeps pace with your desires and opens up a vast space for your imagination.
