Golden Hour: Gold Bridal Headpieces

It turns out that all that glitters is gold, at least as far as wedding style goes! Women all over are adding a touch – or sometimes a whole treasury—of gold to their bridal look.

Why are Brides Choosing Gold Headpieces?

Gold is enduring, elegant, and inextricably tied to luxury because of its precious nature. It stands to reason that it belongs alongside diamonds on your wedding day. However, women choose gold for their wedding-day look for more than a desire to convey opulence and timelessness.

It’s about choice. 

In the past, tradition reigned in bridal style. Not so now! Certainly, there are classic elements many women can’t imagine doing without, like a striking veil or gorgeous wedding dress. But beyond that, women have pushed tradition’s boundaries to express themselves through unique choices like wedding head jewelry or blue wedding gowns. 

The women who walk through Bridal Styles Boutique’s doors and order online have been drawn to gold for many reasons. Some love the warmth of gold against their skin. Others are obsessed with the rich contrast of gold and crystals or adore how a gold headpiece feels unique and a little regal.

Whatever their reasons, gold is a rising wedding trend, and it's better than ever. 

Modern Meets Gold Bridal Headpieces

Even things that have been around for millennia can change. Though women have worn gold since time immemorial, it has evolved. Today, brides channel its inherent luxury with headpieces and jewelry that feel undeniably current. Whether in the form of a queenly crystal crown, a sparkling bohemian flower comb, or a dazzling vintage headband, gold brings depth, warmth, and individuality. Especially when taken together with the other elements of your wedding day look.

How to Add a Touch of Gold

The factors in figuring out how to go for the gold on your wedding day are less limiting than you may imagine:

Headpiece Detail. Gold enhances how crystals catch the light and boosts the luminous nature of pearls, as you can see to dramatic effect in our pearl, crystal, and gold tiara. Similarly, gold is gorgeous alongside ceramic flowers. So, whatever headpiece elements you’re drawn to, they’ll look lovely with gold.

Your Coloring. Gold complements nearly every skin tone and looks beautiful against all sorts of hair, from blonde and brunette to red.

Your Hairstyle. Your wedding hairstyle is not really a factor in the gold versus silver debate. What matters more is choosing a bridal headpiece and hairstyle combination such as Hollywood waves combined with a gold asymmetrical hair vine, that makes you feel beautiful and look exactly how you envisioned.

Gold and your gown. Some textiles and colors suit gold accessories better than others. Lace brings out gold’s richness and utter timelessness, as do textured fabrics such as jacquard and brocade. Wedding dresses with embroidery and beading can also pair beautifully with a gold headpiece, though you’ll want to see it against the detail. The colors don’t have to match – there’s nothing wrong with silver embroidery and a gold headband. In fact, mixing metals is very on trend. However, you do want them to complement one another.

Color comes into play here, too. Creams and ivories are a natural fit, while some whites might not harmonize as well.

Finally, there’s style. Your wedding dress’s aesthetic, whether that’s fairy-tale princess, a glamorous sheath with detachable train, or a sleek, 1920s-inspired silhouette, can absolutely be paired with a gold headpiece. All it takes is combining your gown and headpiece to create a cohesive look you love.

Gold Headpieces and Your Other Accessories.  Gone are the days of everything has to match. In fact, as we mentioned earlier, mixing silver and gold is on trend. That said, a gold wedding halo and a pair of gold glam earrings is stunning. In other words, whether you color-coordinate all your accessories or choose not to, it's entirely up to you!
