A great place to find inspiration for your bridal hairstyle is on the red carpet. Not only do Hollywood celebrities have amazing hairstyles, but they often complement the look with beautiful hair accessories. We combed the red carpet to find stunning wedding hair accessories.
Brilliant barrettes
The Wall Street Journal just called the barrette “the unexpected toast of the beauty season,” and Eva Longoria and Emily Blunt seem to agree.
There are many ways to wear a barrette including pinning back your bangs or accenting a low ponytail. However, one of the most popular wedding hairstyles for 2011 is the romantic side-swept updo highlighted with a crystal barrette.
Wearing a wedding hair accessory that has crystals or rhinestones in it allows you to sparkle even when you’re facing away from your guests at the ceremony.
Double the beauty
Timeless beauties Jennifer Garner, Sandra Bullock and Katherine Heigl have all been spotted wearing skinny double headbands. The skinny rhinestone double headband makes an amazing wedding hair accessory because it is subtle yet sparkly. It is also an updated version of the traditional single headband.
Feathers and flowers
Also popular as seen in film and on the red carpet are feather and flower accessories. While hers was quite bold, Natalie Portman made feathers look amazing throughout the film “The Black Swan.”
Wearing fresh flowers in your flowing curly hair, as Padma Lakshmi, can be quite perfect for a beach wedding or more casual affair.
Forget about fads
When selecting a wedding hair accessory, make sure it fits your head and looks beautiful at all angles. You absolutely want to try it out in advance at your hair trial.
Also, it is important not to go too heavy into trends. For example, many celebrities are wearing headbands like sweatbands across the forehead. We do not recommend that look for your wedding. Select a style you love, but also something you’ll love when you look at your photos in years to come.
