Step 7: Accessories—Yes or No?
Hair accessories can be beautiful, but they should be subtle.
Consider:
Small pearl pins
Delicate crystal clips
A tasteful comb
Fresh flowers (for outdoor weddings)
Avoid anything too large or flashy. The bride should remain the focal point.
If your grandmother prefers simplicity, skip accessories altogether. A well-done hairstyle is more than enough.
Step 8: Think About Longevity
Weddings are long. There are photos, ceremony, dinner, dancing, and goodbyes.
Choose a style that:
Holds its shape
Doesn’t require constant fixing
Feels comfortable after hours
If she dislikes tight pins or heavy spray, avoid complex updos. Comfort is key.
