Colourful wedding hair accessories are having a moment among brides who want to express their unique personality. But it's not all about aesthetics. From strong hues to subtle tones, colour can have a huge impact on your whole day. Here we explore 10 reasons to embrace colour in your wedding headpiece.

A wedding hair accessory should ideally complement your outfit and overall wedding style while also allowing you to express your own sense of style and personality. A bridal hair accessory that incorporates colour - whether subtly or strongly, will help you do that - and so much more.

Colour Is An Instant Mood Setter
Colours have a profound impact on our emotions and moods and can instantly set the tone for your wedding day. For instance, soft pastels can evoke feelings of romance and tranquility, greens create an outdoorsy vibe, while vibrant hues like red or gold can create a sense of celebration, heritage, and even a regal or traditional element.
Colour Equals Personality
Your wedding day look should reflect who you are and your personal style - ideally you’ll look like the best version of yourself, rather than someone playing ‘the part’ of a bride. Introducing colour into your hair accessory is a great way to express your unique personality. Choosing a colour that has special meaning to you will make your wedding look even more personal and memorable. I can create most of my designs in bespoke colours - so if you find a piece you love simply get in touch to discuss having it made in different colour.

Elevating Your Look
Adding colour or unusual tones to your wedding hair accessory can create visual interest and draw attention to your hairstyle. It can also help to tie your look to your gown or decor, creating a more cohesive and elevated look.

Highlighting Your Features
A well-chosen hair accessory can highlight your best features. For example, a crown with green tones might bring out the colour of your eyes, while gold hues can complement your skin tone or hair colour.

Coraline Crown - A Case Study In Colour
The Coraline crown is available in four beautiful colourways as standard and is a great example of how colour can change the way a headpiece looks and makes you feel. Each colour offers a different aesthetic, allowing you to choose one that matches your wedding theme and personal style more closely.
Antique Gold: The deep gold crystals have a gorgeous sheen and depth which gives the crown a vintage almost regal feel.
Green and Gold: Here I’ve mixed clear gold crystals with clear pale green crystals which gives this crown a delicate nature-inspired vibe that’s perfect for a forest or garden wedding. The crystals have a lot of sparkle and look amazing in sunlight and artificial light.
Silver: The silver crystals have a mirror ball effect that creates the most incredible sparkle and can give this crown a quite edgy look depending on your outfit and make-up.
Champagne: Pearlised champagne toned crystals mixed with ivory mother of pearl flowers adds an extra dimenstion to this more traditional bridal colour. The champagne can add a vintage look when worm with creamy vintage tones.
Bespoke Colour Options
One of the standout features of the Coraline crown is its bespoke customisation option. If the available colourways don’t perfectly match your vision, I can create a bespoke crown made in the colour of your choice. This bespoke service ensures that your hair accessory is truly unique to you and your personal style. To discuss a bespoke order contact me here.
Matching Wedding Themes
Incorporating colour into your hair accessory can help tie together your wedding theme. Whether you’re having a beach wedding, a rustic ceremony, or a glamorous event, choosing a hairpiece in a complementary colour can enhance the overall aesthetic.
Coordinating With Your Wedding Party
Coloured hair accessories can also be used to coordinate with your wedding party. For example you can choose a colour that complements colours worn by your attendants or your partner’s outfit - the options are endless. Coloured hair accessories are also a gorgeous option for your attendants - you can choose colours to work with their outfits and the accessory will double as a gift too. My Coralie hair pins match the Coraline crown and come in all the same colours, and more. Bespoke colour options are available in these hair pins too.
