Styling wedding hair pins for a chic and fuss-free bridal look is all about embracing simplicity with an elegant twist. Here’s how to achieve a look that’s both refined and effortlessly beautiful.
Possibly the most difficult step considering how many beautiful wedding hair pieces are out there, but we recommend opting for hair pins that exude subtle sophistication. Think delicate pearls and flowers, subtle crystal elements and sleek metallic elements. These pins add just the right touch of glamour without overpowering your hairstyle.
Ensure your wedding hair pins align with your wedding theme. For a classic and timeless vibe, choose smooth and polished designs, such as clusters of pearls. If your wedding leans toward boho or rustic, opt for organic shapes like floral motifs or leafy designs.
Your wedding hair pins should enhance, not compete with, your veil. If your veil is heavily embellished or features intricate lace, opt for simple, understated pins. On the other hand, if your veil is minimal or sheer, you can be more adventurous with bolder, more decorative pins.
Place your hair pins thoughtfully to enhance your hairstyle’s natural beauty. Tuck a pin behind the ear, at the base of a low bun, or a long the curve of a braid for a refined yet effortless look.Â
Embrace the ‘less is more’ philosophy. A few strategically placed pins can create a more striking impact that an array scattered throughout your hair.
Depending on the style of your veil and the overall look, you can place hair pins either above or below the veil. If you want the veil to be the focal point as you walk down the aisle, position the hair pins underneath the veil, closer to the nape of your neck.
For a modern and asymmetrical look, consider placing the hair pins on one side of your head. This works well if you have a side part or if you hairstyle is designed to sweep to one side. The veil can then be placed at the back, allowing the pins to stand out without interference.
A low chignon or sleek bun paired with a couple of tastefully chosen hair pins creates a look that is both timeless and effortlessly elegant—ideal for the modern bride.
For those who prefer to wear their hair down in soft waves, use hair pins to gently sweep sections away from your face. This approach adds a touch of romance while maintaining a relaxed, effortless aesthetic.Â
For half up, half down styles, secure the top section of your hair with a few delicate hair pins. This style merges the elegance of an updo with the relaxed feel of loose hair, offering the perfect balance for a laid-back yet polished bridal look.
To keep your pins in place throughout the bridal festivities, ensure they’re securely fastened. Fine hair may benefit from a bit of texture spray to prevent slipping and reinforced with additional bobby pins. This will prevent slipping and keep everything in place. Bobby pins can also be used to secure the veil in place, particularly if the veil is lightweight or made on a small hair comb.Â
If your veil is attached to a comb, place the comb into your hairstyle first, then position he hair pins around it. This ensures the veil stays in place while allowing the pins to serve as an additional decorative element.
A pre-wedding hair trial is essential to ensure your chosen hair pins stay put and look as envisioned. This also gives you the chance to make any necessary tweaks for a flawless final look.
Choose hair pins that complement your other bridal accessories, such as your bridal earrings and necklace. Aim for a harmonious look by selecting pieces that share similar design motifs and aesthetic.
Also consider what your hair will look like after your remove the veil. If you plan to remove the veil for the reception, consider how your hair pins will look without it. Ensure that your hairstyle still appears polished and that the pins remain an elegant feature of your look.
Consider the option of layering accessories for a multi-dimensional and personalised look. You can layer multiple hair pins with your veil to create a more intricate design. For example, a delicate hair vine can be placed above the veil, with smaller pins scattered throughout for added detail.

Some brides have a very sure sense of what they want, even though they are yet to set their eyes on it. Which is why bespoke is such a love of ours. The opportunity to partner with brides to create their dream wedding is such a passion. To handcraft something that has never been before, and to breathe life into, what is just an idea. What an absolute privilege!
For Alexandra, that was creating her dream wedding crown. One that was delicate, grand, regal and intricate. She loved gold and mushroom tones. Her dress was a custom design by a leading Australian wedding dress designer and she was going to wear gorgeous silver crystal earrings.
We created this delicate, yet intricate gold wedding crown. The space between elements gives it a sense of grandeur yet lightness, without feeling fussy or overworked.
The antique gold tonnes of the roses and winding vines, with mushroom pearl accents and silver crystal details are reminiscent of gold gilt Renaissance picture frames – oh so romantic and regal!
Set against the dark brunette of Alexandra’s hair, this piece is sure to wow. Congratulations Alexandra!! We hope you have the best day ever.
If you’ve ever considered creating your own design, why not partner with us? We love working with brides to see their vision’s realised.
Lovely Anna first contacted us about ordering a wedding comb for her upcoming nuptials. Her hectic schedule that included planning her wedding, finishing her PhD and living in rural Australia, made it difficult to coordinate the details of her special day.
Enter Ashley – her BFF. Ashley took over the organisation and design. Knowing Anna’s style, she decided to create her dream wedding comb and order it as a wedding gift. Serious #bffgoals right there.
Anna was completely on-board. She didn’t want to see any pictures, wanting the gift to be a complete surprise. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when she viewed it for the first time! And pass the tissues!
Based largely on the MARQUIS for its sense of sophisticated old world charm, we reworked the design with the addition of extra flowers and delicate pearl sprigs add fullness and width to her piece.
The design of the comb allows it to be worn to the side of an updo or Hollywood waves, or in the top of bun or chignon.
If, like Ashley, you want to help your close friend or relative create the wedding accessory of their dreams – get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
Situated in the romantic coastal, mountain town of Santorini in Italy, our bride Jessica and Brett’s wedding day was one of refined elegance and effortlessness.
We adore Jessica’s choice of a Karen Willis Holmes Anya sequin dress – a modern and chic dress that she styled beautifully with her perfectly tousled hair. It’s no surprise that in Jessica’s day to day life she is a talented makeup artist!

We just loved creating Jessica’s bespoke wedding comb in tones of soft silver and ivory. Our team designed the piece to sit vertically, just behind her ear using a combination of antique silver and silver mesh leaves to create a depth and contrast against Jessica’s dark brown hair. To create texture and detail, handcrafted ivory clay flowers were positioned to gently extend upwards. We chose freshwater pearls and faceted crystal elements to create shape and add a subtle shimmer to complement Jessica’s sequin dress.
Thank you so much for creating a beautiful bespoke masterpiece for me to wear on my wedding day! It was absolutely gorgeous and went perfectly with my styling. Since I wore a simple dress, it added the perfect amount of “something” to make me feel like a bride. I’ve had so many compliments on it from those who have seen photos too.
Jessica – you’re more than welcome and a huge congratulations from us! We wish you and your husband every happiness.

Looking for a traditional wedding updo with a modern edge? We just love this twisted chignon. The understated twists are on trend, positioned low for to create a romantic silhouette, and easily accommodates a wedding veil and comb to elevate your whole look.

We just love the softness of this ballet bun. It elongates the face and draws attention to the cheek bones and eyes.
Consider styling this look with a statement bridal comb or hair vine that wraps around the bun. For a look that adds to the effortless of this style, pin some delicate hair pins to the side for a touch of perfection.
Depending on the size of your bun, position a veil or comb above the bun to beautifully frame your hairstyle.

Continuing on our bridal bun journey, we can’t take our eyes off this low knotted version. The subtle back-combing at the crown creates a hint of height while the low position reduces any hair headaches. Add a soft, lace trimmed, chapel length veil and some bridal pins to complete your bridal look.

We love the way the braids on this updo frame the face and adds texture and detail. How to accessorise this look? Less is more. Some delicate earrings will be the perfect accompaniment.

If you’re blessed with amazingly gorgeous naturally curly hair, this post is for you. The key to a successful curly wedding hairstyle is embracing and enhancing your natural texture. Curly hair has its own unique beauty, and your wedding day is the perfect time to showcase it. Â
Brides with naturally curly hair have the advantage of rich texture and volume. However, choosing the right accessories require some thoughtful consideration to ensure they enhance rather than overpower your curls.Â
Naturally curly hair has a natural bounce and volume that can add a touch of romance and elegance to any bridal look. For brides with more defined curls, an updo that highlights the volume and texture of your curls can be stunning. A voluminous bun or curly chignon adds elegance while keeping your hair off your face. Brides with tight coils can opt for styles that showcase their natural volume and texture, such as a crown of defined curls. You can also add braids or twists for added detail and interest.
Not all curly hair is the same—curls can range from loose waves to tight coils, and your hairstyle should complement your specific curl pattern. If you have looser waves, consider a romantic, half up half down style that showcases the natural movement of your hair. This look is soft and feminine, perfect for boho or outdoor weddings.
The half up, half down hairstyle is perfect for brides who want to showcase their natural curls while keeping their hair off their face.
Finish this hairstyle with a flower crown for a whimsical, bohemian look. Dainty pearl drop earrings are an elegant and classic way to frame your face and neckline.

Every wedding gown and bride is different and the perfect accessories for you will not only depend on your gown but your personal style, vision, height and hairstyle. We love to work with our brides to create the perfect veil that you will love to keep as an heirloom after your wedding day. We are based in Australia and ship worldwide.
There’s few opportunities in life to wear something as exquisite and elaborate as a wedding veil. While a veil may not be for every bride, we love how a veil can elevate your bridal look by framing your face, and elongating your silhouette. One question many brides face is how to position their wedding veil, particularly when they’ve chosen a bun hairstyle. Should the veil be placed above the bun, creating a classic, elegant look? Or is positioning it below the bun a better option for a modern and relaxed style? The answer depends on your personal style, the look you want to achieve, and practical considerations. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each option to help you make the best decision for your big day.
Placing the veil above the bun is a traditional option that creates a timeless, elegant silhouette. This placement allows the veil to cascade down from the crown of your head, often creating a more dramatic and regal look.
Pros:
Cons:
Opting to place the veil below the bun is a more contemporary and relaxed choice. This placement allows the bun to remain the focal point, with the veil draping softly down your back.
Pros:
Cons:
When deciding on veil placement, think about how it will complement your overall bridal look, including your dress, accessories, and the vibe of your wedding.
We love to work with our brides to bring together their bridal looks. Feel free to email us photos of your wedding dress and hairstyle. We’d love to get back to you with some veil options and how best to style them.
When it comes to wedding hair, few options are as timeless and elegant as romantic wedding updos. This classic choice has been beloved by brides for generations, and for good reason. Romantic updos offer a perfect blend of sophistication and softness, creating a look that is both enchanting and enduring. Whether you’re dreaming of a fairy-tale wedding or a chic, modern celebration, a romantic updo can be tailored to suit your vision, making it a style you’ll fall in love with.
Your wedding accessories should complement, not compete with, your wedding dress. If your dress has intricate detailing, opt for simpler hair accessories that won’t overwhelm your look. If your dress is more minimalist, feel free to choose bolder accessories that add a touch of glamour.
If you’re wearing a veil, consider how it will interact with your updo. For instance, a long, flowing veil works beautifully with a low chignon or sweeping bun, while a shorter veil or birdcage veil pairs well with a French twist or messy updo.
Your hair accessories should coordinate with your bridal jewellery. If you’re wearing pearl earrings, consider adding pearl details somewhere else in your look. Scattered pearl hair pins or floral details with pearl stamens will and a refined and classic touch to your loo.
While it’s tempting to add multiple accessories, sometimes less is more. Choose one or two key pieces that enhance your hairstyle without overpowering it. A delicate hairpin, a subtle hair vine or a simple flower can often make a stronger statement than an overload of embellishments.
Every wedding gown and bride is different and the perfect accessories for you will not only depend on your gown but your personal style, vision, height and hairstyle. We love to work with our brides to create the perfect veil that you will love to keep as an heirloom after your wedding day. Get in touch with us – we would love to hear from you!
This is a love story that continues to unfold. Married young, Lidia and her gorgeous husband decided on their sixth wedding anniversary to celebrate with a gorgeous vowel renewal ceremony at the stunning Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum in Milwaukee.
Lovers of Italy, photographer Kristin La Voie captured an essence of the warmth, aesthetic and romance, the Italian’s are known for.
Beautiful Lidia wore our HENRI crown. The faceted moonstone crystals, white Quartz beads, pearls and silver beaded accents, perfectly contrasted the fine drapery of her dress, to create a mood of raw romanticism.
Here Lidia is wearing HENRI as a headband with the pearl accents facing forward. The beauty of this piece is it can be styled as a traditional crown – as well as a headband – with the pearl accents facing either forwards or backwards.
We love to create pieces that are versatile. So that brides can wear them in a way that speaks to her style and aesthetic.
Congratulations Lidia and Ruben! Here’s to many more happy years together.
We often wish we could travel to every wedding of our gorgeous brides. Their love stories are infectious. For our Japanese bride Lena, who lives in the US and her Danish beau; their love spanned three continents, cultures and traditions. Rather than asking their friends and family to travel great lengths, they took their love and party to them – celebrating with two fabulous weddings!
Gorgeous Lena honoured her beautiful mother by wearing her dress and veil. So much detail went in to redesigning the vintage lace to perfectly fit Lena’s elegant long, lithe frame.
Lena contacted us to create a bespoke piece to wear with an updo that would complement her beautiful lace-edged veil. Inspired by our EVERLY, we customised a headpiece with sparkly crystals in navette, tear drop and round shapes. The crystals add a classic, romantic quality that work so elegantly with the delicate beading details of Lena’s dress.
We’ve had a few brides host two weddings. And most like to differentiate each with something a little different.
For Lena – she chose to style her hair differently, starting with a romantic chignon at her Danish celebration.
Nestled into the top of her updo, the customised EVERLY headpiece creates a beautiful line at the nape of her neck. The veil comb has been aligned with the headpiece, sitting just behind, that when the blusher is removed, drapes from the same position.

For their Japanese wedding, Lena wore her hair in a high ballerina bun with a centre part. Creating an almost tiara-like look, the EVERLY has been wrapped around the front and sides of the updo.
Tucked between the headpiece and ballerina bun, is the veil comb – with Lena looking ever so like a royal bride.
