As a reflection to her coastal surroundings, hair stylist Anita Bauer captures the essence of Byron Bay with her coveted looks of relaxed updos, textured ponytails and soft glam waves. Her signature boho styling is shaping bridal hair trends for future brides, as she works her magic to create new looks that are romantic and relaxed.
While formalities and tradition are still important parts of wedding days, we’ve seen a shift towards more personalised weddings, where brides are inspired to embrace their individual style when it comes to creating their bridal look. The freedom to be relaxed and creative has led to a rise in boho bridal hair. This soft and effortless look is about creating movement and texture, with strands of hair escaping from buns, beachy waves, whimsical braids and floral detailing.
Anita is an expert in creating this look and we had the pleasure of collaborating with her for a recent photo shoot. We loved seeing our LYRIC and BLANCHETT headpieces styled with her unique spin. If you’ve also fallen in love with this look, Anita is currently styling brides across Byron Bay, the Tweed region and Gold Coast.

The most valuable advice: go with your intuitive feeling! The dream dress you choose will set the mood for the ‘overall look.’ Choosing a hairstyle to complement face shape and hair type is also really important. Keep in mind weather too! Based in Byron our warmer months are hot and beach weddings can be windy! A loose up style or textured pony are great options. Gather a collection of inspiration images to share and discuss the suitability with your hair stylist. Have fun with your style and enjoy being able to create a look that feels like you!
Hair trials are an important part of the planning process! I love to team up hair and make up trials together which allows each bride to experience the ‘overall look.’ That’s the key, being able to see the visions from a picture translated to a look that complements and enhances the bride. It is the perfect time to try style options that aren’t worn on a daily basis, like an effortless textured updo or glam glossy waves. Experiencing the final style and feeling reassured that it is ‘The Look’, along with having spent the time getting to know your stylist, creates ease and confidence on the big day!
Being one of the most important day’s of a woman’s life, the most asked question when determining the hair style is “Does this look and feel like me?” Ultimately the style will reflect the bride’s personal taste, enhance her features and complement the aesthetic of the wedding day. Deciding whether a hairpiece will complement the style, whether it be fresh flowers, a veil, clips or decorative pins is also a popular question. What to do to achieve the look is an important consideration. This may require hair extensions, creating shape in the hair cut, freshening the colour or general hair maintenance.

Soft glam waves, loose effortless half up styles, low textured updos and the new wave of the high buns are all in for the season. The pony is always a favourite and is worn low, either sleek or voluminous and textured. I am also loving beautiful hair details with pearls and soft petals, intricate hair pieces and statement veils to complete the modern day bride.
I love a textured up style that is soft, ‘done’ but ‘un-done’ and relaxed. The finer details are important which makes the style special. I do love a braid or twist and finishing off the style with anti-frizz gloss gives the wow factor!

The Starry Night wedding crown with stars hints at the magic above us. This celestial beauty was inspired by an enchanted night sky, featuring a soft golden palette and silver crystal elements that make a beautiful statement of refinement and femininity.
This hair piece wasn’t designed for wallflowers or the traditional bride. It was designed for dreamers and modern romantics, and brides seeking something a little different yet classic in styling.
We looked to the sky above us in designing this sparkly golden crown. In particular, the soft light of the moon as it reflects on the leaves below and the subtle sparkle of the infinite stars as we stare up into the darkness.
True to our signature aesthetic, we framed the twinkling stars with soft gold toned leaves, bringing together the earth and the sky in the most effortless way.
The low profile of this headpiece perfectly frames a range of face shapes and wedding dress necklines. As with our full collection, this piece is customisable so if you would prefer a taller profile, the details can be reworked to create a bolder statement. In contrast, the details can also be reduced into more of a headband style piece for brides seeking something a little more low key.
If you love this piece or would like it customised to better suit your bridal hairstyle and wedding dress, get in touch. Feel free to send across photos and links to your dress and bridal look. We would love to work with you to create a dreamy celestial inspired piece for your wedding day.
Every bride is different and the vision we all have in our minds of how we’d like to look and feel on our wedding day varies so much between brides. The same wedding dress can completely transform with slight changes in accessories. If you’re looking to channel a regal and sophisticated vibe, a crown or tiara could be the way to go. Fancy a glamorous and chic look? Think long drop earrings and maybe a side swept look.
So much of this, of course, depends on your wedding dress and its neckline, your face shape and wedding hairstyle.
We recently had the pleasure to work with bride Nancy to create her dream floral wedding crown. Nancy’s vision for her day was ultra chic and glamorous, choosing to wear an insanely glamorous wedding dress with the most beautiful floral and lace appliqué details. Its silhouette was extravagant yet timeless, and she was seeking a headpiece that pulled together all of these special qualities.
Nancy loved our GABRIEL floral halo but wanted a piece that sat in her hair more as a crown than a halo. She also sought for it to be taller and of larger proportions. We were able to take on board all of Nancy’s thoughts and feedbacks and incorporate them into a headpiece that felt balanced, proportional, and of course, beautiful.
One of our favourite details of this crown include the rose appliqué details that feature prominently across this piece. These rose elements perfectly complement the floral details on Nancy’s gown and add a timeless quality like no other flower.
When set amongst shimmering crystal details and antique silver leaf and vine elements, the silver and ivory colour palette speaks to heritage, tradition and glamour.
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.Â
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.
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. Â
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.Â
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.
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.Â
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.

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.
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.
We are here to guide you through the exciting journey of accessorising your bridal look. Feel free to send us photos of your wedding dress, bridal hairstyle and links to your favourite styles from our collection. We can then get back to you with ideas and recommendations.

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.

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.
One of our favourite wedding looks combines two timeless accessories—wedding veils and headpieces—to create a beautifully layered, multi-dimensional bridal style. Whether you’re going for a classic, romantic vibe or something more modern and cic, layering a veil and a headpiece adds depth and personality to your look. But achieving this balance requires careful consideration of styles, textures and placement. In this post, we’ll guide you through the process of layering a wedding veil with a headpiece, offering practical tips to ensure your accessories complement each other perfectly.
When layering a veil with a headpiece, the first step is selecting pieces that work harmoniously together. Here’s how to approach this:
Consider the veil length and style: The length and style of your veil will influence the type of headpiece that pairs best with it. For example:
Match the aesthetic: Your veil and headpiece should share a similar aesthetic to create a cohesive look. If your veil is adorned with lace or beading, consider a headpiece that features similar details. Conversely, if your veil is simple and understated, a more ornate headpiece can add the right amount of flair and accentuate the details on the back of your wedding dress.
Coordinate with your dress: Ensure that both the veil and headpiece complement your wedding dress. For example, if your dress has a lot of intricate detailing you might opt for a simpler veil and headpiece to avoid overwhelming your lookd.
The way you position the veil and headpiece can dramatically affect your overall bridal look. Here are some tips for getting it just right:
When choosing your bridal comb, consider its proportion relative to your veil comb. You’ll be positioning them next to each other so size is important. The body of your bridal headpiece should be wider (longer) than the width of your veil comb. So if your veil’s comb is 3 inches long, your headpiece needs to be at least 4-5 inches long.
Choosing to have a separate veil and headpiece rather than one that is sewn together offers several key advantages in terms of flexibility, styling options and practicality.
The more accessories you have in your hair, the greater the base that is needed to support them. We suggest the layered look is best suited for an updo, but a half-up half-down or even loose wavy hairstyles can be achieved using a few simple techniques to secure those metal hair combs.
If you are wearing your hair all down, your hairstylist will most likely create a hidden foundation under the hair to support the piece in your hair. These extra precautions (extra hair pins!) will securely hold the headpiece and veil in place.
Once the veil is secured into place with bobby pins, you’re now ready to position the headpiece and pin it into place. It’s best to secure the veil first and then the headpiece on top of the veil’s comb for a more seamless finish.
When styling your wedding comb and veil, make sure you take into account how they’re constructed. If you have two central combs (one on the veil and one in the middle of the headpiece), it will be possible to layer them one of top of the other but it may be more of a headache – literally – than it’s worth.
Look for headpieces designed around a split comb system or headpieces which don’t feature a comb at all. This way you can easily position the veil, position the headpiece and easily secure them into place. The two comb system is signature to our brand – we feel two combs allows extra flexibility with style around various hairstyles and head shapes. And of equal importance, it means you can style your headpiece with a veil. Just ensure the combs are wide enough to sit either side of the veil’s comb.
