Hair Pins: Why They Are Such a Trendy Part of a Bride’s UK Bridal Hair Accessories

The old saying is often quoted “everything old is new again”. The adage is particularly relevant when it comes to bridal hair accessories. Because of the high number of UK ceremonies going for the vintage feel, quite a few wedding bridal accessories are made to evoke a sense of yesteryear. The hair styles worn by the bride and her attendants also reflect that vintage feel by using wedding hair clips, wedding hair combs and wedding hair pins. Hair pins are especially vital wedding hair accessories for hairstyles having an old-time appeal. Here’s some information about using hair pins as bridal party accessories.

Bridal Hair Accessories -The History of the Hairpin

Hair pins have been used throughout the years by many ancient peoples, like the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Ladies in that era, much like today, wore their hair in an “up-do”, or up on the back or top of their head fastened with the hairpins. Hair pins were often embellished with gemstones like lapis lazuli and turquoise. In some cultures, hair pins were reserved for use on special occasions, along with bridal tiaras and wedding hair combs.

Hair Pin Styles

Two main designs of the hair pin exist. The first type is literally a “pin” — a straight length of material a few inches long. The second kind is a U-shaped pin where the two straight points can be wavy or straight. Some pins are designed to be seen and have lots of décor. Other pins are made not to be seen—they are thin and small, and they blend in naturally with one’s hair. Since their first inception, bridal hair pins are essential to weddings. Regardless of whether the pins are decorated with freshwater pearls or Swarovski crystals, hair pins are a fundamental accessory, as are bridal headpieces, wedding hair clips, and pearl and crystal bridal hair accessories.

Tips for Hairpin Styles

If you’re planning on wearing hair pins in your wedding, be sure to do so in attractive groupings. It’s also a good idea to coordinate your outstanding bridal accessories along with your hair pins for a truly unified appearance. Hair pins often are available in colour to compliment your wedding’s colour scheme. The most charming pins are the ones made to order. This gives you the chance to add special touches such as butterflies, blossoms or leaves.
