Fashion Fever by Elysha Beckerman


 Shortly after picking the dream dress you have been picturing since you were 5 years old it’s time to choose another important piece of the bridal attire — the headpiece.  The history of headpieces can come a bit shocking, ready for a quick wedding lesson?  Headpieces were mainly used for 2 reasons.  First is to hide the bride from the evil spirits that chased her during the wedding day. Second is for a surprise effect since most marriages were arranged and this would be the first moment the groom would see his wife-to-be.

These days, headpieces are mostly worn because of their aesthetically pleasing characteristics and as an alternative to the traditional veil–and there is nothing wrong with that!  So let’s explore some hot headpiece trends that any bride can catch Fashion Fever from.

  • Great Gatsby Romance–This trend very closely aligns with birdcage veils.  Birdcage veils are a great way to incorporate the traditional veil but also create a modern look with the veil’s accessories and shape.  Birdcage veils can be accented with feathers and flowers to create an even more unique look. For a couture style that emphasizes American classics check out Leah C.

  • Bands Galore -The neon colored elastic headbands we once wore as child (and sometimes even still worn for a quick work out) won’t satisfy this year’s fashion fever.  Were thinking more elegance and glamour!  Silk bands in cream, white, or ash accented by classic pearls and frosted crystals are becoming contagious.  So cure your fever by taking a large dose of Jennifer Behr and her variety of bands.

  • K.I.S.S–Keep It Simple Sister! If you’re staying away from any type of tradition with veils or your wedding dress doesn’t scream headband then what about silk charmeuse flowers or feathers.  Add either or to your wedding hair for a chic look.  Check out Bride’s Head Revisited for a great selection of flowers and feathers.
