An Evening in Florence

Easily one of the most loved wildflowers, there’s something endlessly inspiring by the majestic blue blooms that grow in the woods and English gardens in springtime. Rich in pollen and nectar, the bluebell flower has an elusive scent reminiscent of the hyacinth flower.  It’s no wonder the bluebell is commonly used in bridal bouquets and corsages.

We believe in the language of flowers and the dewy bluebell speaks to everlasting love, humility and constancy.

We looked to this delightful blue flowering stem as the perfect source of inspiration for our latest ‘Something Blue’ hair pin set.

Looking for your 'Something blue'?

The rhyme that often comes to mind when planning your wedding is the age old, ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe’.  While a coin in your shoe wouldn’t be too comfortable, your ‘something blue’ also doesn’t need to look or feel out of place with the rest of your bridal look.

For lovers for deeper shades of blue, there’s a number of styles in our ‘something blue’ accessories collection that feature beautiful shades of empire blue. Our ARTEMIS, MAYBELLE, FONTAINE and LADY GREY are some of our popular styles for brides seeking that subtle and sophisticated ‘something blue’.

For brides seeking a pale shade of blue, the powder blue tones of the BLUEBELLS hair pin set blends beautifully against all hair colours and ivory or white wedding gowns. In designing these pins, we fell in love with the mineral – almost misty – tone of the crystal beads. Subtle, sweet and romantic, this shade of pale blue is a perfect match to soft gold or silver wiring.

Customisable to suit you

All styles in our collections are customisable to suit you. We love to style this set of two BLUEBELLS in multiples – think a set of four or six around a loose low set updo. For a look that’s more delicate and subtle, a set of two can be positioned to the side of a bun or half up hairstyle.

If you love this set, send us an email and can chat more about your bridal look.

A modern bride's guide to styling delicate bridal hair pins for a chic wedding look.

In the realm of bridal fashion, it’s often the smallest details that make the most significant impact. Whether it’s buttons on a wedding dress, detailed lacework or fine beading. When it comes to bridal accessories, delicate bridal hair pins are a perfect example of this, offering a subtle yet stunning way to enhance your wedding day look. 

We love to recommend bridal hair pin sets to brides who want versatility with styling or where their wedding gown just needs a little detail to complete their bridal look.

1. The appeal of bridal hair pins

It’s fair to say, the appeal of small bridal hair pins lie in their ability to combine timeless elegance with modern simplicity. They can offer a delicate, understated beauty that can capture the mood and vibe of your wedding dress without overpowering it.  Their petite size makes them perfect for brides who prefer a more minimalist aesthetic.  

Their smaller and dainty size allows them to be placed anywhere in the hair—whether tucked into a bun, scattered through loose waves, or accenting a braid—adding just the right amount of detail.

2. A nod to tradition

Smaller hair pins have classic appeal, often evoking a sense of timelessness, reminiscent of vintage and traditional bridal styles. They can subtly reference classic bridal looks while still feeling fresh and modern.

The heirloom potential of hair pins means they can become cherished keepsakes, passed down through the generations as a nod to tradition.

3. Best bridal hairstyles for hair pins

Bridal hair pins are light and comfortable, making them an effortless addition to any hairstyle. They’re easy to place and adjust, allowing brides to seamlessly integrate them into any hairstyle, achieving a polished look without much fuss.

In line with the “less is more” philosophy, small hair pins add just the right amount of detail to a bridal look, embodying a kind effortless beauty that feels both intentional and natural.

A single hair pin with beautiful details can look just as striking as a cluster of pins. Despite the small size of the hair pins, they can be beautifully embellished and adorned in a range of different components for a natural, romantic look. 

Bridal updos: They style perfectly in updos and bridal buns: around the base of the updo, along the side or across the top.

Bridal braids: Weave hair pins into the braid or place them at the end for a bohemian-inspired finish.

Half up hairstyles: For a romantic and whimsical look, use hair pins along the contours of a half up hairstyle. These will add a beautiful focal point to soft waves and curls.

Side-swept hairstyles: Pinning back one side of your hair and adorning the section with hair pins creates a striking asymmetrical look. Perfect for Hollywood inspired looks or garden weddings.

4. Grip and hold

Bridal hair pins are likely to fall out if they’re not secured into place with additional bobby pins. Using bobby pins in a colour that matches your hair colour, pin the hair pin down with a bobby pin discreetly beneath the hair. This will ensure your hair pieces will stay in place if you’re planning to have an active day with lots of dancing.

5. Tips for choosing the perfect bridal hair pins

When choosing bridal hair pins for your wedding day, it’s important to consider your wedding theme and dress. Pearl or floral hair pins pair beautifully with vintage or romantic themes, whilst minimalist pins are great for modern weddings.

A trial run with your hairstylist is always a good idea before your wedding. This is an opportunity to talk to your bridal hairstylist and discuss how the pins will work with it. Your hairstylist will be able to discuss how they can be secured into your hair and how they will sit along side other accessories, such as your wedding veil.
