Radiance Boutique is often asked to advise about bridal style, wedding jewellery and hair accessories. One question that comes up frequently is the question of how to choose the right hair accessories? Of course, it really does depend on the hair style you’ve chosen and the overall look you are trying to achieve. All wedding accessories should reflect your bridal style and personality; softer, more delicate detailing for those opting for romantic looks say, or a statement piece for a bolder show stopping do.
It’s also fair to say that your hair type comes into it. Fine hair often requires the sturdiness of a hair grip rather than a pin. But if your style is an up do and includes some backcombing and hairdresser magic, such as use of a donut, pins could work for you. Some thicker hair has trouble holding a comb, but if you’re only adding it to a small section of hair, then it’s unlikely to be a problem.
As ever, the advice of your stylist is key, so be sure to have a detailed conversation about what you’re hoping to achieve. Looks you like can often be adapted to your hair type and you can find a way to incorporate the kind of accessories you’re keen to wear. Radiance Boutique’s tiara wire for example, is the perfect way to add a touch of elegance to your look without the need for a fuller tiara.
Radiance Boutique has also created some designs on hair pin wires with a loop at the bottom to enable your hairdresser to secure the piece with grips, giving you more hold than a hair pin. This is important if a design is large or top heavy as such pieces require a larger hair pin as a base, and those are often tricky for stylists to secure. If you’re following the trend for statement hair accessories this is worth considering.
