Vintage Meets Modern






































Belaire is accessory line that does a beautiful job mixing textures and materials to create breathtaking head pieces for your special day. Many styles are sophisticated and chic while others with their unexpected feathers and jewels add a vintage inspired look to the modern bride. With a variety of hair accesssory types, you are likely to find the perfect piece to accent your beautiful ensemble. These pieces can be used either as an alternative or an addition to the traditional veil. If you are looking for the perfect vintage-meets-modern look, check out this darling collection at Always & Forever.



Here’s a look at some current headpiece trends:
Birdcage Veils – Birdcage veils have slowly been making a comeback, but this year there has been more demand for them than ever. These short veils usually are worn over all or part of the face and are made of a diamond-shaped netting. Some have one comb in the center that is attached on the top of the head. Others have two combs that attach on either side of the head. They give a beautiful vintage feel, and are perfect paired with a feather or flower




Fascinators – Fascinators are generally made with feathers, flowers, rhinestones, crystals and/or beads and are attached to a comb, headband or clip. Sometimes worn with a veil, they can also be worn alone. They come in a wide variety of sizes and can be very delicate or really make a statement. Personally, I want to wear these pieces every day that ends in a Y! I'm talking FABULOUS!




Headbands - we have seen a trend towards fewer traditional tiaras and more headbands. They are available in a wide range of styles from a simple, single row of rhinestones to a simple band with an off-center focal point to wide headbands with tons of sparkle. They can be worn with or without a veil and with hair up or down. They are great for short hair as well.




No Veil - A veil is no longer an essential part of the bride’s look. Many brides are choosing to just wear a tiara, headband or fascinator without the veil. The choice is up to personal preference. Many brides wear their veil just for the ceremony, and remove it for the reception just for the sake of comfort.
