Bridal hairstyles should reflect the brides' personality and complement the style of her gown. Even the best hairstyle is left undone without a headpiece or ornamentation. Gretchen Maurer, Creator of www.weddinghair.com offers some following tips on making your own bridal hair ornaments for a fraction of the cost.

There are no rules as to what you can use to decorate your wedding hairstyle. Costume and vintage jewelry make delightful hair ornaments while also fulfilling your “something borrowed” or “something old” needs. Simply wire them onto a craft store plastic comb! Drape a strand of pearls around your bun or clip in some crystal clip-on earrings!

Other craft store finds such as silk flowers from the bridal section already come on wires! Just stick them into your curls and secure with a bobby pin. What else? Walk over to the jewelry section and picking up some alligator clips or snap clips. These bare metal findings are just waiting for your touch! Wire on some beads, tiny clay flowers and even feathers for a cost effective designer look. Feeling romantic? How about feeding lengths of ribbon through your curls?

Not sure what flower to choose? The key to complimenting a flower to your gown is to look at the shape and texture of the flower. If your gown has a dense fabric like satin or silk, choose a dense flower. If your gown is lightweight or has tulle accents, choose a tulle or lightweight flower. Feeling bold? Pick one big flower. Worried about a perfect match? Just bring a few flowers home and hold them about 15 inches away from your gown to see how they look.

Remember that all of these findings are to be used to ornament the hair design, not to hold the hairstyle.

Give creativity a chance before you make your headpiece purchase. Ornamenting is the perfect option for everyone. First time brides, older brides and second time brides all can enjoy being creative with their ornamentation options.
