Turn Heads On Your Big Day

You've found the perfect dress, but sometimes you need just a little bit more sparkle to finish the look. (Don't forget...hair pieces are one of our Top 10
Things Every Bride Should Have!) From big and bold to delicate and minimal we've got you covered when it comes finding just the right hair pieces for your big day!

 

 

Flower Power

Weather you're getting married on an exotic beach or at your church down the street you can never go wrong with flowers in your hair! Go big and glitzy, or just sprinkle in a few - there's no wrong way to wear it!

 

 Keep it classic and sparkly with this AA Bridal flower comb

AA Bridal style 2550 

 

 

     

Have a bunch throughout an up-do or sprinkle in some here and there with these Bel Aire Bridal flower pins!

Head Over Heals for Headbands

We're seeing headbands all over the place! They're easy to incorporate into your hairstyle, and are the perfect way to frame your face! Big or small, a headband will instantly brighten up your face for the big day! 

 

 

Make a statement in a big way with a wide headband like this one from Bel Aire Bridal. Having all the sparkle on one side keeps the width of the piece from looking overwhelming. Bonus: The shape and style of this particular headband is perfect for a vintage/Gatsby inspired look!
