Short Wedding Hair

Dear Carrie,

I have short hair, what would be the best hair accessories for my wedding day?

Beth - Glasgow

Dear Beth,

I often have brides come to visit me here in the studio who have the same question. There are many things that you can do with short wedding hair to make you look like a bride.

One option is to wear a headband. These are very on trend right now and come in many colours and shapes. We offer several styles with crystals, diamantes and pearls all perfect for a contemporary but romantic look.
Alternatively you could wear a comb or a hair vine. Hair vines are not just for long hair or up-do's. Threaded onto a ribbon the vine can be worn across the top of your head.

If you have any further styling questions do let me know. You can email us at info@carrieyeo.com I hope that this helps?

Eight Bridesmaids

Dear Carrie

I am having 8 bridesmaids. They will be wearing pale pink dresses but they are all different ages ( 5-26 years) , sizes and have different length hair. What can I do to make their accessories match?

Amanda - Cheshire

Dear Amanda

A good option would be to use hair flowers like our delphinium hair pins. These come in a set of three so you could buy three sets and give each girl a flower to wear in her hair ( you could keep the spare one for yourself to wear on honeymoon!)

The pins are versatile enough for all hair styles and suit all ages. You can even have the crystals in the center in pale pink to match the dresses. Vintage rose (pictured) has been a popular colour this season.

For necklaces you can keep it simple with our Deco drop necklace which can be made in the same shade of Pink. We can make the length of the chain different for each girl depending on age. Just email us at Orders@carrieyeo.com or call us on 0203 164 3648 to let us know what lengths you would like.

Unusual Dress

Dear Carrie,

I am having a winter wedding and my dress has a high neckline. What would be the best type of jewellery to wear with this style?

Lily - Derbyshire

Dear Lily,

If you are having a high neckline wearing some detailed or statement earrings and a cuff style bracelet would add extra sparkle to your look without detracting from the neckline of the dress.

I would suggest our Audrey Champagne Earrings and our Cherry Blossom bracelet.

The bracelet comes in 36 colours from the Swarovski colour chart on our website.

The bracelet is shown here in vintage rose but popular colours for Brides are Clear crystal, crystal AB, Golden Shadow and White Opal.

Purple Accessories

Dear Carrie,

My Bridesmaids are having purple strapless dresses, which accessories will go best with this style?

Jenny - Surrey

Dear Jeni,

Strapless dresses are very popular for bridesmaids as they suit most girls and the good news is that this style also suits most jewellery.
Almost any style of necklace suits the strapless style. If the dresses are quite plain go for something with detail. If the dresses are quite embellished choose something more simple.
To get the right colour you can either send us a swatch of the fabric and we can match the colour for you here or you can use a combination of different shades of purple to get a unique look.
