Sometimes you find the prettiest bridal headpiece but it’s not quite right. It might be the colour, the size, or perhaps the way it’s designed isn’t 100% perfect for the vision you have in your head.
As wedding accessory designers, this is something we can completely understand and empathise with. It’s exactly why we stand by our made to order and bespoke mandates.
We had the loveliest opportunity to work with Canadian bride Samantha to create a two-way bridal headpiece for her end May wedding day. Samantha loved the POETIC bridal headpiece but was looking for a headpiece which she could style in two different ways for her wedding ceremony and reception.
For the ceremony, she was hoping to style it more as a headband at the top of her head. For the reception she was planning to wear it backwards to frame her bridal hairstyle.
We got to work on redesigning her headpiece so it was perfect for her two bridal looks. Wearing the same headpiece or accessory for both the ceremony and reception is a great way to get prolonged wear out of a piece. It also means that you can ensure continuity with details – i.e. you don’t have to change your earrings or other jewellery to match.
The delicate and organic details, as well as its boho chic styling, are just a few of the reasons why Samantha fell in love with the POETIC bridal headpiece the first place. So in redesigning Samantha’s piece, we wanted to ensure we retained the intrinsic nature and beauty of the piece.
To ensure the floral elements remained the perfect focal points of the piece, we repositioned the placement of the clay flowers to the sides for a more evenly distributed look. We also scattered the delicate pearl and crystal elements along the mid section of the headpiece to ensure it could be styled with both looks. It was a balancing act to ensure it didn’t look too bare in the mid section but we also didn’t take attention away from the clay flowers.
For her wedding ceremony, Samantha will be able to style her headpiece along the hair line as a headband by pinning the headpiece into place near the ears.
This beautiful look can still be paired with a wedding veil or pearl drop earrings, or even warn alone for a more simple look.
The headpiece attaches to the hair with little loops and Samantha’s hairstylist can easily position it into place with bobby pins hidden under the hair. By removing the bobby pins and flipping the headpiece to face backwards, Samantha is able to style her reception bridal look within a few minutes.
We love the look of this headpiece facing backwards and it would look gorgeous styled with half up/half down hairstyles or perhaps even all out hairstyles with soft curls.
If you’d love to chat about your own custom wedding accessories, feel free to get in touch by sending us photos of your wedding dress, bridal hairstyle and details of your favourite styles from our collection. We’d love to work with you to create your perfect heirloom pieces!
Why do we offer bespoke? Because there’s thousands of wedding dresses out there, and thousands of hairstyles, multiple face shapes, so many different hair types. We truly don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to our wedding accessories and veils because our brides are all so unique. You might prefer a blush and silver hair comb but the headpiece you love seems to only be available in gold and ivory? Perhaps not, get in touch and there’s a really good chance we can design it for you in the colour palette of your choice.
All of our designs are designed and handcrafted in our Canberra, Australia studio. This gives us complete control over the whole design and construction process and we always encourage our brides to send us photos of their wedding dresses, hairstyles and face shapes so we can recommend the best styles for them.
Bride Jacqueline is a perfect example of how we love to assist our brides. Jacqui loved the blush and silver details of our TEAROSEÂ hair pin but preferred the styling of the ARTEMIS hair comb. While the styles are similar in size, there are differences between them which limit how they can be worn. So, we tweaked the design of TEAROSE so that Jacqui could wear it to the side of her head to frame her side swept hairstyle. We filled it in a little, lengthened it a tad, shifted some of the details, positioned it on a comb and ensured that when styled on the right, the details were all facing the correct way.
We love this chic and petite hair piece. It’s dainty and delicate – the perfect size for side swept hairstyles but also any wedding updo or loose bridal hairstyle.
If you love any of our styles from our collection but would like them tweaked in any way to suit your hairstyle, wedding dress or jewellery, feel free to get in touch and send us photos. We’d love to see how we can help you complete your bridal look.

Whether you’re getting married in a church or out in the outdoors, a long wedding veil can add the perfect amount of grandeur and drama to a wedding dress. A long veil is, without a doubt, the defining wedding accessory that can instantly transform a bridal look with its timeless appeal and elongated silhouette.
A ‘long’ wedding veil is a relative term. How long is long? How long is a piece of string? What’s long for one bride might barely touch the floor for another. Throw in the added complexity of the length and width of the train on your dress, your height, your heel height, your venue… It’s no wonder it can be difficult to determine the best length for you.
We’ll guide you through the key factors to consider when selecting the best long wedding veil for your special day.
Is a floor length, chapel veil or cathedral veil best for you? This is where it can get a bit grey. Why? Because so much depends on the style of your dress, the fabric it is made from, your height, and any distinctive horizontal lines that are visible on the dress.
Some brides like their veil to extend beyond the length of their train so their train and dress appear longer and grander. Other brides choose to have their veils puddle on the train so that it blends into the fabric of the skirt and won’t get in the way on the dance floor. And other brides want their veil to fall exactly to where their dress train ends as a longer length might feel excessive. It’s very much a personal preference.
The floor length veil is your introduction to long wedding veils. As the name suggests, a floor length veil is designed to gracefully touch the floor and is ideal for sheath or fitted wedding dresses without a train. We love to suggest a floor length veil for more casual weddings or for brides who want to wear their veil all day and all night – including for the bridal waltz. Our made to order mandate means we can design your veil your way – whether you love to have it pooling a little on the ground, or not quite reaching it. It’s up to you!
A beautifully versatile length, we love the chapel veil for its timeless beauty. A chapel veil complements a wide range of wedding dresses, from ballroom gowns to dazzling red carpet worthy dresses. For the vertically challenged brides, we find that veils that create a little puddle on the floor elongate the silhouette which always looks incredible.
If you want to make a statement, this is your go-to veil. The cathedral veil is grander than the versatile chapel veil and is best suited for cathedral and church weddings with long aisles. Some useful advice to know is that longer veils are often wider too. So bare in mind the potential proportions of your veil to your dress.
Lastly, we have the ever glorious royal cathedral length veil. Measuring anywhere from 4 metres plus, this fabulous length looks amazing for medium to taller brides with a very long runway to walk down.
The fabric your wedding dress is made from is an important factor in choosing your wedding veil.
A gown made from structured satin or frothy tulle fabric will provide structure to a veil as the dress will act as a frame on which the veil will sit. We recommend veils made from bridal illusion or Italian tulle which is a lightweight and crisp tulle which will suit the nature of firmer and floatier fabrics.Â
If your dress features a flowy sheer fabric, a softer drape on the veil is an option. These veils are often made from English net. Flowy fabrics also suit bridal illusion tulle as these floatier veils add an ethereal quality to your look.
There are multiple horizontal lines that are visible on a dress. It could be the line that runs across your shoulders on an off-the-shoulder neckline. Or the line that’s created on a plunging back. Or there’s the line where the bodice is sewn onto the skirt at the waist on a ball gown. Or perhaps even a peplum detail. There can also be lines further down if your dress features a mermaid silhouette where the skirt starts to flare out above the knee.
The lines on a dress aren’t limited to the neckline or the silhouette of the dress. There can also be lines in the patterns of the lacework or the fabric. Think ruffles on a skirt or a dress where multiple laces are mixed and matched to create a distinctive pattern.
The importance of lines comes back to not wanting to take away from the beauty of the dress. Adding a new line with a shorter veil can interfere with how the dress flows. For example, if your dress features an oversized bow on the back, it’s best to avoid a veil that falls to the same spot.
A veil that’s 2 metres long will look very different on a bride who is 4’9 compared to a bride who’s 6’1. This doesn’t mean a bride on the shorter side should only wear a shorter veil and that long veils aren’t an option.
Quite the opposite. A shorter bride can certainly wear a long veil so long as the veil isn’t excessively long in proportion to her silhouette. There are many shorter brides who wear wedding gowns with long trains and similarly, her veil can be just as long. The key is to ensure that the silhouette overall is balanced.
There are thousands of wedding dresses out there so we understand that finding the perfect veil can be difficult. What you find on the rack in bridal boutiques may not be the right length, width or colour for your dress.Â
We work with brides worldwide to offer recommendations and styling advice. We have over 15 years experience designing and handcrafting wedding veils and bridal accessories.
Feel free to send us an email with photos of your bridal look and we’d be happy to get back to you with ideas on how your favourite veil can be customised to suit you.
We loved to work with bride Holly to create a rose gold bridal hair vine for her wedding day. Working with Holly was a dream, and it’s fair to say, the end result is even dreamier. The vision for Holly’s piece was a backwards facing headpiece in her favourite metal with a soft pink hue, and silver crystal elements with lots of sparkle.
To say we’re in love with her custom bridal hair vine is an understatement. Rose gold metals mixed with a soft whisper of silver details feel effortlessly elegant and luxurious.
There’s an ethereal quality to this piece which we find mesmerising and we’re thrilled Holly loves her piece too.
We love florals just as much as the next gal, but this botanical inspired piece feels fresh and feminine, without the flowers.
Delicate headpieces suit a range of bridal looks – from soft and flowing feminine gowns to more structured lace wedding dresses. We also love to pair them with modern and sleek gowns when the hairstyle chosen is loose, soft and romantic.
The key to styling dainty headpieces is to ensure the piece complements the vibe of your wedding dress and hairstyle. Dainty doesn’t necessarily need to mean subtle. As our collection shows, there are many bold and statement-making pieces that are delicate in nature. It all comes down to it’s size, positioning and of course, the thoughtfulness of the details and tones incorporated into the design.
For a look that’s feminine and sophisticated, we love to style this piece at the back of the head to frame a half up hairstyle or loose curls. This piece is flexible and can be gently manipulated to the curve of a low set bridal bun.
The leaf elements and the direction of the crystal elements feel organic and fresh, like freshly grown vines growing out of a messy wedding updo or hairstyle.
As this piece creates a mood that’s quite whimsical and ethereal, we recommend styling it with loose soft curls rather than polished hairstyles.
If you love this piece, or if you’d like a piece custom made for you in rose gold tones, do get in touch. We’d love to work with you to create something beautiful.
It’s no wonder messy wedding updos are so popular. Their relaxed and textured nature is contrasted perfectly by a contemporary, sophisticated and infinitely stylish feel.
While messy wedding hairstyles feel effortless, this doesn’t mean they lack formal elegance. These relaxed hairstyles embody bohemian luxe appeal with romantic and whimsical undertones. Looser buns, tousled curls and soft waves around the face can beautifully frame cheek bones, jaw lines and draw attention to the eyes in the most effortless way.
The inherent uniqueness is also part of the appeal. It’s impossible to replicate a messy updo exactly. So much depends on your hair texture, length, colour, and of course, the experience and expertise of your hairstylist.
To ensure you get the look that’s right for you, we recommend organising a hair trial before your wedding day to ensure your hairstylist is able to capture the style you love. It can sometimes take a few attempts to find the perfect messy hairstyle (or even the perfect hairstylist) for you that captures your vision.
You can never have too much hair inspiration and we’ve pulled together below our favourite 24 messy wedding updos that you’ll love.
Our recommendations for styling a messy updo? We love to style messy hairstyles with hairpieces that feature delicate details that accentuate the organic nature of the updo. Nature-inspired details blend effortlessly with the soft waves and twists of a messy hairstyle and the end result is harmonious, beautiful and elegant.
Wedding crowns, backwards facing headpieces and scattered hair pins style perfectly with messy hairstyles. The key is to think proportions and to choose a piece which picks up the colours and textures in your hair.
The romantic low bun is a timeless choice that combines the elegance of a bun with the relaxed feel of loose, textured hair. This style is perfect for brides seeking a soft and sophisticated look.
The twisted updo is an elegant and sophisticated option that combines twists and knots to create a beautiful, textured hairstyle. This style is perfect for brides who want a classic look with a modern twist.
This hairstyle involves loosely gathering the hair at the nape of the neck and securing it into a bun with bobby pins, allowing soft tendrils to fall naturally around the face and neck. A messy chignon effortlessly complements various wedding themes, from rustic and bohemian to chic and classic.

We adore Art Deco detailing. The distinctive decorative elements, the sleek silhouettes and geometric forms that reflected the free-spirited thinking of the time. It’s always exciting to see a wedding day inspired by the beauty of yesteryear, and the Art Deco era is the perfect place to source inspiration for a bridal look.
Bride Elizabeth was in touch with us to design and create a silver Art Deco wedding headpiece to complement her wedding dress. Elizabeth was after a full halo with blue details scattered across the piece in the most beautiful way. We shared images and details and got to work on creating her special piece.
And, from the moment we started work designing her piece, we fell in love. The opulence of this wedding headpiece set our hearts aflutter and the details on it took us over the edge.
We drew inspiration from our HARPER crown, an exquisite piece that’s one of our favourites from the Secret Garden collection. Staying true to the vision, we carried these elements across into the key geometric shapes in a linear fashion. The end result is strikingly simple yet ethereal, dramatic and enchanting all at the same time.
As you may have noticed in our work, we draw our inspiration from the beauty of the botanicals and the perfectly imperfect that Mother Nature has to offer. For Elizabeth’s wedding headpiece, our inspiration came from a period in time which was typified by defined shapes often broken up into decorative elements. This inspiration lead us to choose filigree and shimmering crystal details to capture the spirit of the time.
We love to style this piece with wedding gowns with a nod to the past. Think long flowy wedding dresses, vintage gowns, lace dresses, tea dresses, playful skirts and modern silhouettes with a hint of history.
This full halo was designed with Elizabeth’s wedding hairstyle and head circumference in mind. The back section tapers off ever so elegantly into a narrower section to frame her hairstyle and wedding veil.
This piece is sturdy yet flexible and can be worn across the forehead as a flapper-inspired piece, or worn further back in the hairline for an updated and modern look.
If you love this piece, or would like a piece designed just for you, feel free to get in touch. Send us an email with details of your wedding look and your vision and we can start the beautiful journey of bespoke.
Choosing the right hairstyle and accessories for your wedding day is a crucial part of your bridal look. A side swept hairstyle paired with a bridal hair comb is an elegant and timeless choice. However, there are several factors to consider to ensure that this combination enhances your overall appearance and stays secure through your big day. Here are some important considerations for brides when choosing a side swept hairstyle and wearing a bridal hair comb.
Consider your face shape when choosing a side swept bridal hairstyle. This style is particularly flattering for oval, heart and square face shapes as it softens angles and highlights your best features.
Think about your hair type and texture. Side swept styles work well with various hair types, but the technique may vary and extra support might be needed to secure hair accessories into place.Â

Your hairstyle should complement the style of your wedding dress. Side swept hair works beautifully with dresses that have detailed backs, asymmetrical designs or one shoulder necklines.

If you plan to wear a veil, think about how it will work with your side swept hairstyle and hair comb. Ensure the veil can be securely attached without interfering with the placement of the comb.
Coordinate your hair comb with other bridal accessories such as earrings, necklaces and bracelets. As one ear will be on full display, ensure they complement each other in terms of colour, style and embellishments.
Shop this look: TROUSSEAU hair comb
Side swept hairstyles can be achieved with different hair lengths, but the approach may vary. Extensions can be used for added length and volume if needed.
Consider the volume of your hair. You may need to add volume with styling products or backcombing, especially if your hair is fine or flat.
Shop this look: DREAMER hair comb
Your side swept hair will need to be secured into place before any adornments are added to it. A bridal hair comb is simply pinned into an already set hairstyle, rather than the comb holding the hairstyle in place.
We recommend brides have a hair trial with their stylists to test the security of the hairstyle and the placement of the hair comb. Make adjustments as needed to ensure everything stays in place.
Shop this look: ARTEMIS hair comb
Your hairstyle should be comfortable and not cause any discomfort throughout the day. Ensure the hair comb and other accessories are not too heavy or tight.
Consider the practicality of your hairstyle for different parts of the day, including the ceremony, photos and reception. Make sure it’s a style you can easily manage and maintain.

Choose a hairstyle and hair comb that reflects your personal style. Whether you prefer classic, bohemian, vintage or modern looks, make sure your choice feels authentic to you.Â

We loved working on this layered beauty for South African bride, Sarah. Sarah dreamed of a lace wedding headpiece to complement her wedding dress. And, as her husband is Australian, she thought this would be the perfect way to bring a little ‘Australia’ into the festivities! Oh, what a beautiful sentiment and what an honour it was to be involved in their special day.
We design our pieces to be heirlooms and we love how brides are looking for unique ways to add a bit of their story and unique style into their wedding accessories. Many of our brides pass their pieces onto their daughters, sisters or friends after the wedding day. We feel so lucky to be part of their journeys. After the day has been and gone, and the dress is packed away, our beautiful pieces can be passed on or carefully stored in our signature navy boxes for safe keeping.
Sarah was inspired by two very different headpieces from our collection: the clay flower and pearl details from our MARION headpiece and the lace elements from the MARIAH. Her wedding dress exudes classic appeal – a clean and modern silhouette, French lace details across the bodice and neckline, and a stunning plunging low back. With these details in mind, we started dreaming up her beautiful piece.
This headpiece was designed to be worn with or without a wedding veil. We wanted her headpiece to be a ‘veil cover’ and to frame the top section of the veil during the ceremony. Sarah will be styling her hair in a low set updo so this symmetrical piece will look beautiful even after she’s removed the veil for the reception.
Sarah will also be wearing a veil on her wedding day – our AUDREY minimalist veil – which will pair perfectly with this exquisite lace hair piece. We also love the idea of this textured piece with an embellished veil also. Our LOREN chapel veil with pearls would also look incredible with this comb.
As Sarah will be styling her headpiece with our AUDREY chapel veil, we also captured it with a sheer drop veil below. Scroll below to find this beautiful piece paired with our BLAIR drop veil – a classic drop veil which features less gathers than the LOREN.
If you love this piece, feel free to get in touch and we can chat details. We’d love to work with you to create the perfect headpiece or veil for your wedding day. All of our pieces are handcrafted from scratch so all elements can be customised including details, dimensions and colours.
Whether you’ve fallen in love with the look of long flowy trusses, Hollywood waves, side swept or a sweetly braided bohemian hairdo, there’s a wedding hairstyle for every bride.
Having long hair certainly has its advantages and the options increase exponentially with a few extra inches of hair. You can be a little more creative and adventurous with your hair but remember, your wedding day isn’t the day for experimentation.  Opt for something that you just know suits you.  You will feel so much more comfortable and you will feel more relaxed on the day.
When it comes to choosing the right hairstyle for you, there’s a few factors to think about. Your wedding theme, location, venue, face shape, whether you’ll be wearing a veil, your dress and the neckline on your gown. And most importantly, what feels the most comfortable for you.
We’ve pulled together our favourite wedding hairstyles for long hair. Wispy Hollywood waves, loose curls, half up hairstyles and the chic ponytail. Anything goes on your wedding day and remember, there are no rules.
Loose Hollywood waves are a timeless choice that exudes effortless beauty and romance. This hairstyle is perfect for brides who want a soft, feminine look that works well with various dress styles and wedding themes. We love how loose waves frame the face beautifully and enhance the cheekbones and jawline.Â
A half up hairstyle is a popular choice for brides because it keeps the hair off your face (particularly handy if your wedding will be outside and potentially windy – think beach or seaside). It’s also a great way to secure your veil because it will have a firm bed to rest in. A half up hairstyle has the benefits of up hair and the romantic and glamorous feel of loose curls.
We adore soft loose curls. Messy curls, neat curls, wispy curls. Whatever your preferred look, this look is endlessly romantic and chic. If you have shorter or thin hair, chat to your hairstylist about extensions to lengthen and/or thicken your hairstyle.
We adore soft loose curls. Messy curls, neat curls, wispy curls. Whatever your preferred look, this look is endlessly romantic and chic. If you have shorter or thin hair, chat to your hairstylist about extensions to lengthen and/or thicken your hairstyle.
Loose curls can be styled with halos and wedding crowns for a look that exudes regality. You can also still wear a veil with an all out hairstyle but do ensure your hairstylist knows you want to wear a veil as they’ll have to use a few extra bobby pins to secure the veil into place.
When it comes to choosing accessories for long wedding hairstyles, the world is your oyster. Traditional veils, wedding crowns, flower halos, delicate headbands, hair pins – there’s a lot of options out there for you.
The best accessories will depend on the style of your dress, your personality, your face shape and whether you’d like to wear a veil. Some hairstyles suit a veil or headpiece that is attached to the front of your head, but others look better with a veil that is attached further towards the back.
If you’re planning to wear your hair half up/half down, you will have the perfect foundation to secure a wedding headpiece secured into the back or side. However, if loose flowy curls are more your style, you will just need some bobby pins and a little teasing and your hair piece should stay in place all day long.
We’re here to help. We work with brides worldwide to help them coordinate and choose the perfect wedding accessories from our collections.
Feel free to send us photos of your wedding dress, bridal hairstyle and details of styles from our collection you love and we can go from there.
