Let’s Talk Pearl Wedding Hair Accessories!
Today I wanted to talk to you, not about veils, for a change (well, okay not just about veils — one may have accidentally sneaked into today’s post!). But instead, the focus for this article is on the gorgeous must-have pearl wedding hair accessories for 2020.
The Key Trend in Wedding Hair Accessories for 2020
As we go through all of the gorgeous wedding hair accessories I have for you today, you’re definitely going to notice a theme running through them. And that theme is pearls!
Pearls are an absolutely HUGE trend for the season ahead. In all the years I’ve been making veils and selling wedding hair accessories, I have never seen such a high demand for pearls as I have noticed so far in 2020, and we’re only in February!
In the past, sparkly silver diamantes have always dominated. They’ve always been the most requested. And truthfully, without actually getting my calculator out and working out the percentages, they probably still are out in front. But pearls used to be the least requested out of the three main bead types used in veils and accessories, namely silvery diamantes, clear glass crystals, and pearls.
Dead. Last.
So we’re all just a little bowled over by how many requests we’re getting for pearly veils. And of course, once you’ve set your theme with the veil, you’re naturally going to want to tie that into your other wedding hair accessories as well with a pearl tiara or hair comb, or maybe a vine or some fabulous pearl hair pins.
So, without further ado, let’s dig into our favourite pearly pieces that we’re all going ga-ga over for 2020.
Okay, I’m starting with my absolute favourite. I know you’re supposed to save the best ’til last but I just don’t think I can wait that long!
Everlasting is a beautiful all-pearl tiara by British designer brand Arianna Tiaras. All Arianna pieces are handmade here in the UK by the fabulous Debbie at Arianna; a wonderful jewellery-making artisan. It’s handcrafted with mixed-size glass pearls in a large layered design. It’s slightly peaked in the centre and the main detail has quite a wide spread so it’s definitely not a subtle piece! A statement tiara if ever I saw one. From the first time I saw this piece on Arianna’s Instagram as they were showing it at the Harrogate bridal exhibition, I have been absolutely obsessed. It’s definitely the pearliest piece I have for you today so I’m clearly not easing you in gently here.
Moving on to something a little more daring, once again, we have the gorgeous Jasmine tiara. Another stunning piece that has been handcrafted by Arianna. It’s about the same large size as the Everlasting pearl tiara at the top, but a whole lot more sparkly! It features beautiful diamante leaf designs made from individual marquise diamantes. Having tried this piece on myself (hey, come on, you know you would too if you worked here), I can also tell you that it feels extremely comfortable to wear. I think because unlike most tiaras where the detail is from the tiara band up, this piece has beads extending below the band that are on flexible wires, so it kind of gives a cushioning effect, or like a mini head massage when you wear it. We love it, can you tell?
Moving on to something brand new for 2020 and that’s the Purity hair pins set. Another design from Arianna that I fell in love with at first sight. This one’s for the chic, modern brides out there. They’re a set of seven (always good to have an odd number as it helps you space them out nicely) mixed-sized ivory pearl hair pins that you can pop into any up-do. It does really need to be an up-do for hair pins due to the long stems; they need a nice section of hair to be slid into or behind. You can cluster them or dot them around as shown on the images below. I love the simplicity of this set. They’d look amazing paired with a dress with polka-dot accents!
Okay, here’s where we’ve sneaked in a veil. And yes, technically a birdcage is still a veil, but it’s such a small piece it could also easily come under the category of headpiece, right? Are you convinced? Are we getting away with it?
In this instance, I definitely believe we’re allowed to include it in a list of headpieces because the Purity birdcage veil is actually an adaptation of the Purity hair pin set we told you about earlier. It’s topped with the same cluster of gorgeous mixed-size ivory pearls and can be worn on either side for a fabulous vintage look.
That’s A Wrap!
So, that’s it! Our round-up of some of the beautiful pearl wedding hair accessories we have for you for 2020. We hope you’ve enjoyed getting a closer look at the beautiful details and maybe even picked up some ideas of how you might like to wear your hair for your wedding, and, more importantly, how you will decorate it.
Most of the pieces we’ve shown you today should be in stock for the remainder of 2020, although they can be discontinued at any time so if there’s one you’ve got your eye on, don’t wait too long. 😉
Thanks for stopping by. See you next time!
