Radiance Boutique recently received a query from a customer trying to choose between a set of six crystal and pearl cluster hair pins and the single crystal and pearl glam hair pin, which is sold individually. She was not sure what the difference between them was, apart from those facts. How could she tell which ones would be most suitable? In case any of you are wondering the same thing I thought I would share my reply.

Any set of six hair pins provide a flexible and versatile way to add an extra touch to your bridal hair style. They will work in many styles and can be used in different arrangements to achieve the look you want. They will scatter across an up do, sit along a French pleat or around the top of a bun. You can cluster some or even all of them together to create a more dramatic look. You can wear three at either side of a half up do. Because they are quite small in size they will give just that extra touch of glamour to your look. They’re perfect for achieving an all round look if you have a tiara at the front as you can wear them at the back of your hair for added impact. If you have a veil for your ceremony that you are taking off in the evening, they can help you to feel you’ve still kept that bridal look throughout the rest of your day.

The individual hair pins also work well in variety of hair styles but they have taller beaded stems so just one will look striking and stand out more from the hair style. These single hair pins incorporate a number of different types and shapes of bead to beautiful effect and as such their purpose is to add one single flourish to a hairstyle. You can still wear more than one of this type of hair pin -two worn close together looks fantastic. Wearing a number of these across your style would not be as subtle as scattering the set of six pearl hair pins across your hair.

A very popular way to wear these hair accessories is to opt for both the set of six and the more dramatic single hair pin and create something truly unique and beautiful with your stylist. Scattering the set of six pearl hair pins across your up do and adding the romantic hair pin as a final touch creates a real wow factor. Radiance Boutique also offers sets of three flower hair pins in both pearl and crystal. A set of three flowers clustered at the top of a pleat with six pearls running up the side of the pleat is another great way to wear the two kinds of accessory together to beautiful effect.
