Navy blue hair accessories for the fashion forward bride can include accented hair pins and hair twists.
One of the most popular up-do hairstyles is currently an up-do using a number of different hair pins or hair twists. Hair twists are essentially hair pins with a twisted shaft making them very versatile. The latest style is to literally scatter hair pins all over an up-do, giving the carefully crafted hair a slightly thrown together look. This is a beautiful way to add colorful accents throughout her hair.
Blue accented headbands make simple but beautiful bridal hair accessories for a traditional bride.
Sometimes getting the bride and brides’ maids to agree on a hairstyle can be a major headache. One way to coordinate hairstyle and fashion, while incorporating navy blue, is for the bride and/or brides’ maids to wear blue accented headbands.
Headbands provide an inexpensive blue hair accessory and can be handcrafted when the brides’ maids want to spend time together to discuss other important aspects of the wedding.
Options included sequined headbands or handcrafted headbands crafted from jewelry accessories from craft and hobby stores. Check for beads and charms that can be added tastefully and easily to headbands. Ideally, blue accents that can be glued using a hot glue gun will be easiest to find and use in creating headbands.
Ribbon and satin headbands have also become a popular and inexpensive alternative.
Accessorizing brides and bridesmaids hairstyles with navy blue, stunning, oversized hairpins.
As mentioned above it is very fashionable to have an up-do created with an intentional casual feel, even for the bride. If, however, the bride prefers a traditional look, but likes the idea of use one or two oversized hairpins.
Beautiful hairpins are available in most department store jewelry departments starting around $30. Bridal specialty shops may sell similar hairpins for $100 and up.
Can the bride accessorize her hair with blue flowers?
You bet she can! Flowers, along with large, fascinating hair pins, are part of the new hair rage to pin back hair. Make your own hair flowers using real fresh flowers that match your wedding flowers. Tuck one behind the bride’s ear with a tuft of hair. Use a hairpin to hold the flower and hair in place so it doesn’t fall out during the wedding!
You can also buy floral bands to hold hair back or support an up-do.
If you cannot find a flower that meets your bride’s needs, hit the flower section at your local craft store or Wal-Mart. You should be able to find silk flowers that match your color scheme. Stitch a fashionable flower to a feathery scarf or hot glue it to a hair pin.
Simple, classic hair accessories for brides include decorative combs.
Much along the lines of decorative pins and flowers are decorative combs. Combs can be purchased from wedding retailers or, as with other hair accessories, they can be accented with beads, jewels, and pearls. Combs can be large or small, depending on the bride and/or bride’s maid’s hairstyle. Large combs can pin or clip hair in an up-do. Small combs can be used to sweep hair away from the face.
Use old fashioned fashion by using barrettes for blue accented hair accessories.
We mentioned hair pins are back; barrettes are too. Barrettes can be purchased anywhere from the dollar store to high end jewelry stores. Size and style will vary with the bride’s taste and desired hairstyle. Like hairpins, small, sparkling barrettes can be scattered either precisely or haphazardly through an up-do. Large barest can be found in fashionable styles and colors and used around the face or to pull hair back dramatically beneath the veil.
The options for bridal and bride’s maids’ hairstyles are numerous. Should you choose to incorporate blue hair accessories, there are a lot of options so the bride can suit her style and taste.
