Why not have your hairdresser suggest what would work best with your hair, and what type of headpiece you should be searching for, for the best hair design that would complement your facial structure and the entire look?
I'm having the same problem!!!!! I am growing my hair out and it's not quite shoulder length. When I asked the guy that does my hair what styles could I do with my hair(just to get some ideas), he said that it depends on the headpiece. The other day I went headpiece shopping and the first question they asked was how I was wearing my hair. AAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!
I hate my hair pulled all the way back too!!! I love my bangs and am not anxious to part with them. I was thinking about half up/half down(becuase my hair is ALWAYS down), so I put my hair up when I went out shopping for headpieces. Nothing looked right
And I thought the dress was hard. This is worse. I have looked at and tried on lots of beautiful styles, I love tiara's but nothing looks right. But then how would it - I never walk around with a crown on my head. I think I am going to work on the headpiece/veil fist and then work on the hair.
I'm just starting to look too, and also wondering the same. Does the hair style come first or the head piece. I''m thinking the headpiece. I think the hairdresser can realy come up with some good ideas once he sees what you''ve chosen. They always do.
I have a question. Where is everyone looking for veils & headpieces?
I started looking where I purchsed my gown. They have headpieces that started at $300.00 without a veil - all of sudden it was the $$ breaking point. For that kind of money I can buy a nice piece of jewlery that I can wear all the time.
Alternative sources:
* EBay. I cant get over how many they have all very well priced.
* search on line - lots of good sites
* Patchogue Fantasy Floral
* The Bridal Building in NYC
* There are a lot of shops in NYC around 38th between 6th and 9th
Good Luck
Where is the Bridal Building?
Aren't the places on 38th street the wholesale venders for lace, trims & beads. Are there actual veil stores or only factories. I work on 34th. 38th is not the nicest street.
i'm going to look @ ebay. I hate the whole bidding thing, but lets see.
I got my headpiece at CH Bridals on 40th Street in Manhattan, it is between 7th and 8th. They have a wonderful selection, especially tiaras.
I was extremely satisfied
Your right thats not the best area of the city but not bad. The bridal building is 1385 Broadway and open to the public on Sat. When I went to look at gowns I found a number of places there with headpieces. Pauls Veils is on 38th someplace between 5th & 7th they do both custom work and have stock. They were less expensive than the bridal salon but still not cheep. There are a number of places inside the fabric stores - you really have to look. I may go hunting again soon. I will report back.
