Head Pieces

Chawanda, on March 16, 2021 at 7:44 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

Hello Everyone. This is a two-part question.

1. I don't want to wear a veil. It doesn't feel like "me". I am looking for a headpiece with pearls. But, I am coming up short. It has been challenging finding earrings, a bracelet, and a headpiece to coordinate (color, size). Any suggestive sites/stores? My last resort will be to wear a veil.

2. Am I wrong for requesting my bridal party to wear a flower-like pin in their hair? It is honestly the only request I have asked of them. I bought their shoes (Converse sneakers) and have given them open options for gowns as long as they stay in the color scheme. NOTE: I have one bridesmaid (family member) who is constantly pushing back on any decision I reference for the bridal party.

Thanks for reading and responding. Much appreciated.

    Have you searched Etsy? Iʻm highly considering a tiara-like piece

    And no, I donʻt think a flower pin in your partyʻs hair is a big deal.

    BHLDN has a few headbands with pearls, and Etsy is also a good bet! I personally love Twigs & Honey and Untamed Petals for headpieces, and a lot of there options have pearls! I also don't think it's weird to ask you bridesmaids to wear something in their hair.

    Etsy has so many nice ones! They'd look nice paired with drop earrings and tennis bracelets

    I completely agree Etsy is the best place to go. I like you am no wearing a vail. I got my flower pins on esty. This is the link below to the ones I got. Secondly I can 1000% understand your frustration. My maid of honor has given me push back on my choices and telling me what to do. My advice to you this is something I’ve had to start doing myself so it can be hard if your similar to me. I have a problem saying no. Know that your bridesmaid is coming from a good place and wants the best for you (I assume). If you want something your way just say something like I appreciate your thoughts, but I like it this way. When it’s your wedding you can do it how you’d like. I hope things get better for you ♥️

    Try a bird cage veil (search Pinterest to see pic). I like them a lot!

    It is your day for only a few hours and people that you have asked to be in your wedding are important to you. They should be able to comply to your request; because if the table was turned you would follow their request. Congrats and good luck!

    I'm not sure about your headpiece, but I do agree that many amazing things can be found on Etsy.

    As for the flower in your bridesmaids' hair, I think that's a totally fine request. I was in a wedding years ago in which we were requested to wear our hair a certain way and also incorporate a flower pin. I'm super simple, so sadly that pin is something I haven't worn yet and probably won't ever wear again. However, it suited her vision and we were all happy to help her day be that much more special. I say especially if you're the one buying the pin there's nothing wrong with asking your ladies to wear it.

    I'd say to just stick to your guns on this one and firmly (but gently) let them know that this is one of your very few requirements of them and that it would mean a lot to you for them to wear it. Personally, I don't understand the drama some girls put up about wearing specific things the bride requests them to. For my cousin's wedding we wore a necklace and earrings set that was a large (golfball-sized) pink flower on a gold chain for the necklace and relatively large (marble-sized) pink flowers on a gold backing for the earrings. Flowers just aren't my thing on any day and I hate the color pink. But did I shut up and wear the dang things for her wedding? Absolutely! And then I sold them in a garage sale because I knew I would never ever wear them again.

    I searched high and low on etsy and BHLDN for vintage hairpieces and found lots that I loved but they were either too expensive or weren't exactly what I was looking for. I found my vintage 2 tier headband with ivory ribbon on David's Bridals website of all places. and it was 60% off! I still love that piece and wish I could wear it over and over. lol
