Your dress,
headpiece and
veil should
all glorify you
and frame you on
your wedding day.
Choose a headpiece
which contains the
same elements as your
dress – sequins, pearls,
beads, flowers, etc.
The headpiece must have the
same kind of sparkle as your
dress. It must “balance”
with your wedding dress.
Your wedding dress is dramatically
designed and possibly heavily beaded.
It will draw your viewer’s attention.
Your veil and headpiece will raise the
focal point from your dress to your face.
Check for beading on the dress – are there
pearls or beads, ... is there a silver or
gold accent in the beads, ... what about
rhinestones, ... are there sequins, ... are
those sequins clear or iridescent? Is there
a definite type of flower on the dress?
The most beading and applique work on your
Wedding dress will be concentrated on the bodice,
across the neckline and over the shoulders of
your dress. The sparkle (from pearls, beads, or
sequins) in your headpiece and the color contrast
between the veiling and your hair, will draw
attention up to your face, and balance your dress.
Your headpiece must contain the same elements as
your dress to raise the viewer’s focal point from
your dress up to your face. It does not have to
be ornate, just contain the same elements.
Beads in your headpiece will bring out the beading
on your dress. Satin ribbon edging and the absence
of beads in your headpiece will accent the fabric of
your dress. A few discreetly placed iridescent
sequins can add a “spark” to your headpiece.
Be sure to verify the color of your dress to match
the veiling. The white satin dresses usually match
the white bridal illusion; however, the white silk
fabrics are not that same bright white color.
For these dresses you need the Diamond White,
Silk White, or Eggshell bridal illusion.
Fabric swatches are necessary to match the color.
All these details will help to create the veil and
headpiece of your dreams!
