It may feel like a bridal trend with pearl hair accessories adorning the locks of many present day brides. However, pearls have been worn by brides for decades and royalty for centuries. Among the many elements that make up your bridal ensemble, pearl hair accessories stand out as a timeless choice that adds an air of sophistication and grace. From delicate pins to intricate combs, pearls have the power to transform your wedding hair into a work of art.

Whether your hair accessories feature real freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystal pearls or glass pearls, pearl hair accessories are delicate and require gentle care. Store them in a safe and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing them to moisture or harsh chemicals such as hair spray and perfume. And finally, always handle them with clean hands to prevent any oil transfer.
For some brides, styling their wedding look is the most fun a woman can have. For others, the endless choices and all the little decisions can feel overwhelming and push you out of your comfort zone.
It’s true that styling your look requires planning, an eye for detail and having a good understanding of your personal style. But it doesn’t mean you need to have a solid background in fashion or design. Often the best thing to listen to is your instincts – after all, you know your style more than anyone else. And if you don’t know your style, you certainly know what you don’t like so perhaps a process of elimination might be a good starting point for you.
We recently had the pleasure of working with bride Megan from the USA to create a floral bridal crown and pearl veil for her wedding day. Megan had a good understanding of her style and the vibe she was looking for to complete her bridal look. Megan had a few favourites from our collection but wasn’t sure about the best pieces for her look and how to bring together her accessories to complement her dress and venue in a seamless and cohesive way.
Megan’s bridal dress journey started with a vision in mind of a soft and flowing silhouette with feminine details. In the end, she fell in love with the exact opposite – a classic and structured half ballgown free of embellishments. Her timeless gown created the perfect blank canvas to inspire her accessories.
After having tried on a range of bridal headpieces and veils at her local bridal boutique, Megan reached out to us online in search for detailing that included golden tones and floral elements. Having had an opportunity to experiment with different styles in store, Megan was able to form a better idea of her likes and dislikes and the type of accessories she felt was more suitable for her personality and style.
After browsing our collections, Megan fell in love with the floral and leaf details on our FLORES crown and gravitated towards the shape and airiness of the SONNET. She preferred styles with free space between details to create a sense of airiness and smaller details.
The wedding venue Megan booked exudes an old world and romantic character in her mother’s home country of Ireland. The venue features a variety of design elements – the house itself is a 16th century with an eclectic moody antique space with acres of gardens. The venue also included a white marble greenhouse, and the reception space is a rustic low-lit red brick space.
With a variety of details, colours and accents in the venue, we helped Megan pull together her accessories so they felt consistent and appropriate for her wedding space.
We were also fortunate to be able to design Megan’s bridal headpiece in conjunction with her bespoke pearl veil. To add drama and detail to her structured semi-ball gown, Megan chose our NADIA veil which we customised with a heavier cluster of pearls along the full circumference of the veil for a more dramatic look.
We took some photos of her beautiful veil in the studio before we shipped it off to the USA from Australia.

We love a wedding tiara as much as the next bride and we were inspired by the beauty and delicacy of pearls in designing this exquisite piece. The AGNES delicate wedding tiara is our newest obsession – and it’s the perfect piece to indulge your inner royal.
The AGNES wedding tiara pays tribute to yesteryear with its antique inspired detailing and classic silver and ivory colour palette. It’s a statement piece that’s equal parts vintage-inspired and dainty, and bound by our signature feminine aesthetic.
The beauty of this piece lies in its fine and delicate details which have been offset by statement pearl focal points. We wanted to create a wedding tiara of medium height that perfectly framed the face and bridal hairstyles.
If you’re a lover of pearl details, pair it with the MIDSUMMER pearl drop earrings for a look that’s modern and chic.
Our wedding accessories collection can be customised to suit you, your wedding dress and your bridal hairstyle. If you love a hair piece or wedding veil and would like it altered to suit you, get in touch and let’s chat. We’d love to work with you to create a beautiful heirloom for your wedding day.
A fresh take on decadence, we love the look of this wedding tiara with structured modern silhouettes, flowy silk chiffon gowns and exquisite lace wedding dresses. It’s the perfect piece to capture a regal and romantic vibe.
Looking for inspiration for hairstyles to suit this wedding tiara? This pretty piece is perfect for formal updos, tousled bridal updos, loose waves and polished hairstyles.
This delicate crown pairs perfectly with the MIDSUMMER, MONTE and LOURDES earring sets.
We love to offer our brides the option of customising our designs to suit your wedding dress, bridal hairstyle and personal preferences. If you’d love this crown with soft pink pearls instead of natural toned pearls, for example, do get in touch and let us know and we can certainly accommodate.
The recent royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the studio abuzz with lots of beautiful brides requesting statement wedding crowns and veils for their weddings. We’ve always gone weak at the knees when it comes to accessorising a bridal look, and it was so exciting to see Meghan’s wedding look focus so heavily on her dramatic veil and wedding crown to frame her exquisite gown. And that gown? Can we just talk about that for a second? Oh my, what a glorious gown by Claire Waight Keller of Givenchy.
We recently completed a beautiful pearl and gold wedding crown for the loveliest Sydney bride, Yasmine. Yasmine was inspired by the CAMBRIDGE and REINA crowns and was looking for a custom crown that pulled together her favourite elements.
We were smitten with her lace wedding gown and sought to carry across some of the lace patterns from her dress onto her headpiece. That’s what we love about bespoke – the ability to bring to life our bride’s vision and also to incorporate elements from the rest of the bridal look for a more seamless finish.
The end result? We adore it, and we’d love to hear your feedback too. The gold and light ivory colour palette feels fresh and inviting – reminiscent of a golden garden scrolling along a delicate wrought iron gate.
This beautiful crown is delicate yet makes a profound statement of femininity with a nod to antiquity. An enchanting and ethereal piece that still feels modern and romantic.
The delicate crown we designed for Yasmine would pair beautifully with a set of pearl drop earrings. The beauty of this piece is in its intricate and spacious detailing, creating a lightweight focal point that can be framed with our favourite earring sets – the BELLA, LOURDES, VALENTINE, MONTAGUE and PROVENCE pearl drop earrings.
Pair this headpiece with romantic updos, all out bridal hairstyles such as loose curls, and half up hairstyles.
We love to work with our brides one-on-one to handcraft their perfect wedding heirlooms. If you’re inspired by any styles from our collection and would like them tweaked to better suit your style and vision, feel free to get in touch.
