Hair vines - 8 reasons why we love them!

1. Versatility

Hair vines can be worn in a multitude of different ways. You can make them work with an upstyle or with your hair down. So even if you've fallen in love with a hair vine but haven't had your hair trial, rest assured, your hairdresser will be able to work it in regardless!

2. Prettiness!

Most hair vines have a combination of sparkling stones, pearls and silver or gold tone metal making them some of the prettiest options for your wedding day!

4. Comfortable to wear all day

You're wedding day can be quite epic, from the early rise to start your beauty preparations to being the last two love-birds to leave the dance floor. With this in mind it's important to be comfortable all day, last thing you want is a hair-style induced headache... nightmare!

Hair vines can be pinned in neatly or tied with ribbons meaning they can be secured with very little hassle and certainly no pressure.

5. A sparkling alternative to a floral crown

You love the idea of a floral crown but it's just not...well you... A hair vine could be the perfect compromise. Dainty enough so as not to be overpowering but has a definite touch of glamour.

6. They are timeless
Hair vines can work with any bridal look without dating it. So whether you are aiming for romtaically classic, 1920's Gatsby, retro or modern; a hair vine can be the perfect addition to tie your bridal style together.

7. They can be worn with veils

This is possibly my favourite thing about hair vines! I love the dramatic and etheral look of a full veil worn over the face with a hair vine tied to secure it.

I also love a full length Juliet veil worn with a hair vine and a shorter, mid length wedding dress, it just harks back to the 1920's and Deco days!

8. Added oomph for the back!

Many bridal hairpieces are worn near the front of the face or to the side but even though you won't be able to see it too much; wearing your vine to the back means everyone else can enjoy it! 

You will, after all be standing for quite some time with your back to your guests, and then there's the first dance. Your guests will be able to ooh and ahh over your gorgeous hair decoration!

How To Rock A 1920's Look!

The 1920's were an era were everything became just a smidge looser... clothing, under garments, morals and the definition of a woman's role in society.

Most people have a quite a good sense of what the fashion was like in this decade. Thanks largely to Baz Luhrmann's 2013 movie The Great Gatsby. We've also seen a slew of designers influenced by the 20's and the Art Deco period.

So how does it translate to our fashion today?

Firstly lets take a look at a few key components of the 1920's style from these original vintage images:

Feathers  

Ok, so most of us won't be wearing feathers as we go about our daily chores but don't overlook the hugely glamourous impact they can add to occasion wear. A feather trim on a skirt or crop top can be the perfect addition for the WOW factor.

Layers:

Layers and lots of them! 1920's ladies were the original Bohemian babes. Think loose tunics, drop waists, scarfs, beads and shawls. This is quite an easy look to adapt today as most of us will layer up in some way or another.

Accessories:

Hats, gloves and fur. Thanks goodness it's autumn so we can all start rocking this! The high street has lots of faux fur offerings or try some original vintage pieces.

The Little Details:

Embroidery, lace and bead work. It's all in the detail!
