The "It" Things of 2008

Trends for 2008 Brides: Hair Accessories


For all you Brides-to-be, be creative this year when it comes to your hair and don't be left behind. Whether you want to look sophisticated, glam, elegant or trendy - a little "somethin', somethin'" goes a long way. Heck, feathers can even work for a person who can pull it off.

Tip #1: It's your WEDDING, you're not running for Prom Queen or Miss. America!!

Princess tiara's are out, instead choose a simple head band encrusted with crystals for a touch of class OR for something less "blingy" and more modern, use a satin hair band (either single or double strand). If you're feeling earthy, use a thin rope to create drama. Bands are good for ALL brides.


Tip #2: Be unconventionally traditional.

Put a contemporary twist on your veil and go for a sleek look with a French Veil - perfect for a fitted wedding gown. That'll make a statement without looking like you tried too hard. Scrap the long train in place of a Cathedral Veil - which is the perfect balance to a ball gown or mermaid style dress.


Tip #3: A little goes a long way.

If all you want is a little sparkle or a touch of class - try a crystal comb, a few hairpins or a simple flower, adding life to any style you decide. The "rules" of hair have gone a long way - so don't be afraid to experiment. You might want to consider having your hair accessories for your trial, which will give your stylist a chance to do something with it and determining where it would be best to place it.

Just a quick word of advice, DO NOT bring your whole entourage to the trial. If you have an idea of what you want, discuss it with your stylist and bring your MOH or someone you know will be honest with you. You won't be able to please everyone because they all have their own vision for you. Too many opinions may leave you confused and frustrated. Find what's right for you.

Here are some things I am offering to my brides:
