| Headpieces and veils complement your dress
and add another dimension of style to your wedding day. Below is a look at some current
"head fashion".
The Headpiece:
- Wreath. Typically a circle of flowers or
beading, it encircles the head.
- Barrette or comb. This is typically secured
into the back of an up-do.
- Rings. These headpieces are in the shape of
a ring and the hair (up-do) is brought up inside the ring and then styled. See photo
above.
- Tiara. Think "princess". It is a
jeweled decoration that sits like a crown.
- Headband. It is secured behind your ears and
rests at the top of your head.
- Hat. Decorated elegantly, it can be in any
number of shapes and sizes.
The Veil:
- Flyaway. A short veil that ends at the
shoulder.
- Fingertip. Extends just below the waist,
brushing your fingertips.
- Sweep. Ends at the floor.
- Chapel. Measures 9 feet long and trails
along the ground.
- Cathedral. Measures 12 feet long and has a
significant train.
