Wedding Hair Accessories - Deciding Which Bridal Headpiece Best Suits Your Face Shape
By Michelle Pharr
Bridal tiaras and other wedding hair accessories frame the face, and if worn properly can accentuate your most positive features. Just like a hairstyle, wedding hair accessories can dramatically change your look for better or worse, depending on their size and placement. The following article will outline how to first determine your face shape, and then pick out a flattering wedding hair accessory.
Determining Your Face Shape
Before deciding what type of headpiece will highlight your features best, you must determine your face shape. To do this you will need a measuring tape or a ruler, and a pen and a piece of paper to write down the following measurements.
Now that you have written the above measurements down, you can determine your face shape.
Oval Face- If the length of your face is equal to one and a half times its width.
Round Face- If the length and width of your face is nearly equal.
Long- If your face is longer than it is wide.
Choosing a Wedding Hair Accessory
Now that you know your face shape, you can make an informed decision as you choose the perfect type of accessory to frame your face.
Accessories for an Oval Face
If you have an oval face shape, you can wear just about any style of accessory as your face is well proportioned. However keep in mind the groom's height if you want a tall tiara as you will not want to overpower him.
Accessories for a Long Face
Because your face is already long, you should avoid tall tiaras which will only lengthen your face. Instead opt for headbands and tiaras that add little height. Large combs or silk flowers worn at the side of the head also work well with this shape, as they will add fullness and width.
Accessories for a Round Face
To extend your face length wise choose a headpiece that will add some height or has a strong peak. Choosing a tall piece will help lengthen your round face. As your face is the widest at its ears and cheeks avoid side pieces as it would accentuate the roundness of your face.
Work with What You Love
Although you want to consider the above suggestions, nothing is set in stone. If you have a long face you can still wear a tiara but perhaps one that is shorter. If you have a round face and are set on a side pick or comb maybe consider wearing a smaller one.
