How To Shop For A Couture Headpiece

When shopping for a headpiece, there are many questions as a bride and as a consumer that you should be aware of. Knowing what questions to ask yourself and the designer/retailer will really benefit you in the end and ensure that your portrait photos will represent a lasting memory of your wedding. Remember that after all of your entrances are announced, the majority of the night will be spent speaking to your guests face to face. At that point, and in all your portrait photographs, remember that your headpiece will play a large part in your "wedding day look."

The most important question to ask yourself is how are you going to wear your hair. You should have some sort of idea how you are going to wear your hair before you begin shopping for a headpiece or hair jewelry. A simple change such as going from an up do to wearing your hair half up half down will completely change the look of your hair jewels so make sure you really think about it before purchasing a piece. A good idea is to book your headpiece appointment immediately after your hair trial so that you can get a good idea of what your final wedding day look will be.

Once you have decided how you are going to wear your hair select your headpiece according to shape first and stone/pearl color second. Any good designer can customize your crystal colors to your specifications, so shop for shape first. For the ultimate sparkle and quality, all the stones should be 1st quality (they also make a 2nd quality that can have dark spots) Swarovskiä crystal, which is the best in the world.

If you are purchasing a Sterling silver headpiece make sure that you ask the designer if the piece will tarnish. If it will, you want to make sure that you do not order it too far in advance or it will be yellow on your wedding day. A good headpiece designer should have the Sterling specially treated so that it will not tarnish at all. You want to make sure that the piece will be as beautiful on your daughter as on your wedding day.

If you still cannot find what you are looking for, have the designer make you a custom piece according to your specifications. There is nothing like a one of a kind original headpiece to treasure for a lifetime.
