One of our favourite wedding looks is layering a wedding veil with a headpiece. It’s a modern take on the traditional bridal comb or hair pins nestled into the side of a bun. It’s sophisticated and chic, and creates a mood of regality without wearing a tiara or crown.
A bridal headpiece is a great option for brides wanting to add a statement piece to their hair. They are decadent in detail, serve a function of framing your hairstyle and/or wedding veil, and creates a beautiful focal point from behind as you walk down the aisle.
If you love this piece, or would love to chat about creating a custom piece inspired by this blush and gold wedding headpiece, please feel free to get in touch. Let’s create something beautiful.

When this look is styled correctly, it is simply breathtaking. Unfortunately, not all combs and veils can be styled together. The size of your headpiece and veil are important, as are the attachments on each piece. We have designed many styles in our headpiece collection to achieve this look which, over the years, has become the signature look of our brand.
If there’s a piece from a collection you love but you aren’t sure if it will work with a veil, get in touch. We’d love to offer advice and recommendations.
To achieve the layered look, it’s important to think proportions, spacing and your hairstyle. The goal is to create a look where the headpiece and veil appear as one and pair seamlessly together.
Here are our tips to create a picture perfect headpiece and veil layered look.
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.

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.

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.

We love working with our brides to pull together their wedding looks. No two brides are the same, and there’s no reason why their accessories should be either. As our designs are handmade to order, they are fully customisable to suit you.
We had the pleasure of working with bride Marcella to create her pearl bridal hair comb for her wedding day. Marcella fell in love with the most beautiful blush wedding dress.  A delicately beaded design with ivory pearls and silver tones – truly a piece of art.
Marcella loved the Blushing pearl bridal hair comb and the Montague pearl earring set. They’re the perfect accompaniment to the beautiful pale gold wedding shoes she found to wear with her blush wedding dress. I love to mix and match metallics and I loved that Marcella does too!
We customised the Blushing comb with an extra scattering of freshwater pearls and silver crystal details to bring out the pearl details on her wedding dress.
We think the Blushing comb looks beautiful with a simple wedding veil – something like the Blair fingertip veil which is lightweight and barely there in appearance. As this comb is quite petite, it’s best styled to the side of a wedding updo, or tucked above the ear to accentuate beautiful Hollywood waves.
We recommend this style of comb with wedding veils attached to simple metal hair combs which are finer and don’t add bulk. In the images below, we’ve paired the Blushing comb with a veil that’s attached to a narrower comb for a seamless and effortless finish.
If you’ve fallen in love with a headpiece or veil, be sure to get in touch to chat about how the piece can be customised to complement other wedding accessories. Feel free to send us photos of your wedding dress, bridal hairstyle and favourite designs from our collection. Together we can work through the various elements of your bridal look to ensure all the important details are taken into account.
