Chic Bridal Hats for Modern Brides

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Fashion staples from decades ago often return to the scene with a modern twist. Take the bridal hat. It wasn’t long ago that women wouldn’t leave the house without wearing the adored and respectable hat, choosing an appropriate hat for the occasion. Kate Middleton, royalty and other socialites have embraced the hat as a modern fashion accessory.

Erica Koesler Bridal Hat $328.95

Brides can borrow some of the guidelines that apply to veils when it comes to selecting the perfect bridal hat. The simpler and more minimalist the gown, the more ornate hat you can wear — but an elaborate wedding gown calls for a simpler hat. Try on many hats for the right symmetry, but wait to pick the bridal hat until you are in front of the mirror with your wedding dress alterations complete. Today’s wedding hats are often adorned with feathers, flowers, beads, rhinestones, crystals, ribbons and birdcage veils, so your options are endless.

"Sex and the City" Wedding Hat $119.95

The key is to consider different style bridal hats for proportion and to achieve the perfect look on your wedding day. Chic bridal accessories such as gloves, pearls or vintage inspired jewelry double the impact. With bridal hats, it’s all about preference. But don’t be afraid to be the sophisticated bride on your wedding day.

Spotlight: Gorgeous Erica Koesler Veils in Every Style

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Erica Koesler Veil with Sequin Edge $224.95

Even for non-traditional brides, wedding veils can be dramatic, modern, simple or elegant. A veil frames your face, adds a romantic touch and many styles drape beautifully over the shoulders – but it should not distract from the gown or you, the bride.

Today, Advantage Bridal features its Erica Koesler bridal veils, a collection of intricately embellished, made to order veils for every bride. Whether you want a short veil or long veil, minimal or ornate, this line is sure to have you thinking twice about wearing a veil.

There are so many different styles to choose from that with a little effort and some inspiration, you can put together the perfect bridal hairdo to fit the veil of your choice.

Short veils can be attached to a bridal hat, comb, fascinator or other lovely headpiece; some barely hit the shoulder, although most are above the chin. Cage veils are still popular and take many shapes; some frame only the eyes, while others go to the chin. Attach some gorgeous netting to a beautiful hair accessory and, voilà, you have a fascinator veil. Flyaways or poufs are typically a multi-layer tulle veil with cut edges and lots of body at the crown.

An elbow length veil just passes the shoulders and frames the face without being too fussy, as they’re often worn in casual affairs, day weddings or outdoor ceremonies. The edges can be adorned with lace, beads, sequins, ribbon or the entire veil can be made of lace. Some mantilla veils, which drape over the head and are popular in Spain, come only to the elbows.

Fingertip veils hang to the hands with the arms down and are a fancier version of shorter options, but perhaps not as dramatic as longer veils. Elegant evening weddings and indoor ceremonies are perfect for this type of veil.

The waltz veil falls between the knees and ankles for “the best of both worlds,” with a formal touch that allows the bride to walk and dance comfortable without stepping on it. Also perfect to wear with gowns that don’t have a train.

Chapel length veils extend to the floor and up to three feet past the hem of the bridal gown, creating a romantic look that works for formal weddings. This look works in any setting with the romantic bridal style.

A cathedral veil falls beyond the hem of the dress for a dramatic look and are common for formal, religious and large venue weddings. As with a train, these long veils require help from someone in the bridal party to drape the fabric and make sure it falls correctly. For outdoor weddings, wind and dirt can be a factor, so you may want to consider something shorter.

Of course, brides can add a blusher to wear during the ceremony that gets flipped back before the vows. Shop AdvantageBridal.com for affordable veils, rhinestone tiaras, bridal headpieces and other accessories to complete your look.

Fabulous Bridal Hats

Bridal Hat, Wedding Hat

Like a gorgeous bridal gown, a bridal hat can make a big impact.  Paired with a more simple wedding dress or clean lines, the bride takes center stage in a wedding hat that brings all eyes to her face.  There’s something classic, yet mysterious, about brides who wear a to-die-for bridal headpiece with confidence.

Wedding hats could be the finishing touch on vintage wedding elements or sophisticated style for brides dreaming beyond the fairytale princess look.  Frame your face with a cocktail hat, pillbox hat or teardrop hat adorned with a blusher veil, organza, silk, feathers or beads.

Crown hats or wide brim hats, like the one above, flatter any bride on her wedding day.  At Advantage Bridal, your choice of bridal headpieces is endless and you’ll have fun choosing the exact style you want to achieve!  A bridal hat looks great in pictures, too.  We love the juxtaposition of the red vintage car (pictured) and bridal hat by Erica Koesler, a collection of fabulous bridal headpieces.

Look Like a Bride on Your Wedding Day

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Erika Koesler Chantilly Lace Veil

A veil conveys the image of a bride. The very word – veil – stirs images of weddings, brides and “Prince Charming.”

Perhaps because it was engrained in us as children in fairy tales or because we remember wedding photos of our mothers and grandmothers wearing the sheer head garment.

Wedding veils have historic and religious roots, but modern brides embrace the tradition, too – although it’s likely a fashion choice rather than a symbolic one.

Sheer fabric and lace would adorn a bride’s head – often with accessories such as flowers, jewels and wreaths – to shield her from her bridegroom.  He would unveil her face after the vows.

Interestingly, more emphasis was placed on bridal accessories than the wedding dress in past times. And depending on the country and era, veils weren’t always white. (Advantage Bridal carries some veils in different colors.)

The bridal veil is believed to have originated in ancient Greece or Rome. Though it became a symbol of modesty and purity, veils were also worn to ward off spirits and for good luck.

Today, brides wear veils for various reasons and they continue to be an important accessory to the ensemble. Regardless of what type of bride you are – modern, classic, vintage, romantic, simple – there certainly is a veil out there for you.

There are many types of veils, which vary by length and can be embellished with lace, beads, embroidery, satin, ribbon, rhinestones, sequins or other decorations.

You can go dramatic with a cathedral length veil or retro with a birdcage veil. Your options are endless. Remember, most pictures will be taken from the waist up, and you want to look like a bride on your wedding day. (Click on the picture for more information about each item.)
