The Pearl Headpiece

The ultimate crowning glory, a pearl bridal headpiece has the power to transform any bridal look no matter how minimalist. A simple hairband or an oversized statement piece is the perfect alternative to a veil, especially if you have short hair, or as an addition to change up your look for evening.

Perfectly Placed Pearls

An elegant upstyle or low bridal bun can work beautifully with artfully arranged single pearls to create the effect of an accessory - no headpiece needed, just a little imagination.
