Opinions vary as to the best time for the headpiece purchase. Some bridal manuals suggest that the headpiece should be purchased at the time of the gown purchase. Of course, the bridal salons will encourage you to do your "one stop" purchasing at their salon. This is not necessarily the best idea. The bridal salon may have spectacular gowns, but not all have equally beautiful headpieces. They all, however, will definitely overcharge you in a huge way, for your headpiece. My recommendation, is to first purchase your gown. Secondly, have your hair consultation. Once you know the style of your gown and hair, you can decide on the style of your headpiece.<br />
You should ask your consultants at the bridal salon and at the hair salon, what style they would recommend for your gown, hairstyle, and hair type. Once you have the basic information, use your good taste to find your perfect headpiece.<br />

Short hair is usually a fashion statement. It is a personal style that shows individuality and is often stunning, bringing attention to a beautiful face. If your hair is so short that a comb or clip would not adhere, there are headbands and ribbon styles that would be charming. It is my feeling that very short hair needs a headpiece to balance the bridal look. Just the most subtle sparkle is sufficient, but necessary to achieve head to toe harmony. </div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
Some brides with short hair opt for big statement earrings such as chandelier earrings to accomplish the head to toe bridal look. I believe that this is a mistake. Long earrings with short hair is definitely out of proportion. The top of the head becomes even more pronounced as "empty." A small headpiece with sparkly, but not long earrings, would create the balanced, beautiful bridal look.</div>

Some brides choose real flowers for their headpiece. This can be configured as a headband or halo or clip. <br />
The floral headpiece has the inherent problem of wilting before the wedding is over. It also has the implication of making the bride look like either a flower girl or flower child. <br />
It is my feeling that there is already an abundance of flowers in the wedding venue; a floral headpiece is one flower too many.<br />
Floral motifs created out of pearls and/or crystals, are more elegant and will draw attention to the bride's hair and face. Choose real pearls, real crystals, real silver...not real flowers.Something about Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07558588296892908764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584177005119088949.post-8877733325377316832011-07-01T19:24:00.000-07:002011-07-30T11:58:07.412-07:00Your Headpiece - Classic or Trendy?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Should you make a "fashion statement" on your wedding day, or should you make a statement about your exquisite taste? The main thing is to represent yourself in your most beautiful state which will transcend time. If your essence is a "fashionista," and you must keep that image on your wedding day, then by all means go for it. However, if you choose a headpiece that is trendy and fashionable, you must be careful that it is truly a work of art and will enhance, not detract. The bridal ensemble should flow as an entire look from head to toe. If there is one element that is too fussy or ridiculous, it will be a mistake. The headpiece is very important as an accessory, not the focal point. The bride should be the focal point. Some brides make the mistake of translating fashion fads into their wedding. The wedding fashion statement should be your exquisite taste. A huge feather glued to a clip might seem grand. If not artfully and tastefully constructed and designed, it will look outrageous. A 1920's flapper girl is not what you want to look like on your wedding day, is it? A gigantic fake flower that looks like it came straight out of Michael's Craft store does not a bridal look make. On the other hand, you can be creative and new, and still maintain classic style. If properly designed and created, a feather headpiece can be stunning, a graceful silk flower can adorn the hair, and a vintage lace headpiece with a 20's flair can be exquisite. Just be extremely careful when choosing your headpiece. If you opt for cutting edge, make sure you are purchasing the best quality, style, and beauty, and that you are not just purchasing the latest fad.Something about Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07558588296892908764noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584177005119088949.post-5452958327915321032011-06-29T13:39:00.000-07:002011-07-30T11:59:31.235-07:00Should the Headpiece Match the Bride's Jewelry?<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I like to coordinate the headpiece and jewelry by including certain similar aspects of the designs of each, so that they don't match, but that they blend harmoniously. If it is your style and preference to match everything, then, of course, you should and can, if you utilize a headpiece company that customizes the headpiece and jewelry. Be certain that the pieces will be handmade. A ready made matching jewelry and headpiece set is a sure sign of "cheesey." With the right designer, the matching headpiece and jewelry can be created tastefully and beautifully.<br />
If your look is eclectic, it is pretty hard to accomplish this look for your wedding. I love being eclectic in everyday fashion, however, I would not recommend it for a bride. You really want to look completely pulled together on your wedding, not a mish mosh of looks and designs.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Congratulations for finally having the legal ability to unite two souls in love. Some of the most beautiful weddings going on right now are those of LGBT couples. I have noticed, however, that the one area that has not been showing up as much in LGBT weddings, as I think it should, is the headpiece. Brides and grooms alike can pull out the stops and wear an adornment that signifies the wedding more than any other accessory. It does not have to be a full tiara, although it certainly could be. A beautiful accessory in the hair or on the head, will pull together this most special day of your life, and show everyone that you are the shining stars of your wedding day. My recommendation is to consult with a headpiece designer who can create for you the most perfect headpiece that will signify your personal taste and how you want to reflect yourselves.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At Mary Clary Designs, custom made headpieces are my specialty. I will be more than happy to chat with you about what look you would like to accomplish.

A perfect way to be self expressive on the most important day of your life is via your headpiece. In the modern society of the Western world, most people do not wear a headpiece in daily life.

The placement of an adornment on your head gives it the most prominent position in the bride or groom's ensemble. Why not use this fabulous accessory as the first place to add your own special touch. Search for a headpiece designer who will either customize the headpieces in the line that they carry or someone who will help you design exactly what you want. </span><br />

The only time that it is ok to wear someone else's headpiece is if you truly love the headpiece that is being offered to you, and you would have chosen it for yourself in the first place. You most likely would not even think of using a borrowed gown even if the fit were perfect. For some uncanny reason, the bride often considers the headpiece as an afterthought or unimportant trinket. It should be considered one of the most important elements of your ensemble. After all, it is near your face and hair. It's purpose is to bring forth the bridal glow in your hair and face. Everyone's attention will be drawn to you from head to toe. However, it is in your face that radiates your happiness on your wedding day. Your headpiece should be a very personal decision and it should be chosen with the utmost of care. Therefore, if it is your "borrowed," it might not be the perfect size, style, or fit for your hair and face.<br />

Some headpiece companies offer the prospect of either remaking your headpiece into jewelry that can be worn after the wedding or the possibility of wearing the tiara around the neck after the wedding. I have found that initially many brides find this idea appealing as their practical side takes over. This practicality doesn't usually last long. Most aspects of the wedding are chosen by taste, love, and that once in a lifetime dream fulfillment.<br />
The choosing of the headpiece should be based on all of the above mentioned aspects. If the headpiece of your dreams is a convertible headpiece, that could be good. However, most brides want to keep their headpiece in tact as a cherished memory of their wedding.<br />
If you do go the route of convertible, be sure that the company that reworks your headpiece uses a fine quality clasp and considers your design preferences. Unfortunately, many of the companies that offer this service, simply string the pearls and crystals and finish it with a very ordinary metal clasp. You really have to conside<br />
<br />
r if you would ever wear this reworked piece as jewelry anyway.<br />
The other option is the tiara that is supposed to work as a necklace after the wedding. Usually these pieces are uncomfortable and questionable in taste.<br />
Mary Clary Designs offers both of these options with tasteful, beautiful designs that pay attention to all aspects of detail and quality. If your choice is to wear your headpiece as jewelry after the wedding, we will work with you to make that dream come true.<br />

The short answer to the question as to whether purchasing a headpiece from a website is acceptable is definitely YES given the right set of circumstances. The following conditions should apply to your online headpiece purchase.<br />
<br />
1. First try on headpieces in bridal salons to know what style is right for you.<br />
2. Find a headpiece website that has similar styles and the ability to design and custom order.<br />
3. Be certain that the headpiece website has a 100% guarantee policy in case the headpiece is not exactly right.<br />
4. Order your headpiece with enough time allowance to return it and make revisions if necessary.<br />
5. Compare pricing between bridal salons and websites. There should be at least a 50% savings for the same or better quality.<br />
<br />
The beauty of purchasing your headpiece online is that if you purchase from the right website, such as <a href="http://maryclary.com/"><b><span style="color: #5588aa;">maryclarydesign.etsy.com</span></b></a>, you will be able to have the headpiece of your dreams at a very affordable price. The bridal salons mark up headpieces in a huge way. You will be paying much less for a much better, and if desired custom designed headpiece. However, as always, "buyer beware". You must be very careful that you choose a reputable website.<br />

Yes or NoAbout 10 years ago, brides were using a lot of color in their headpiece. Often they would pick up the colors in their wedding color scheme. Sometimes they would pick up the color in the trimmings of their gown. Some brides would even try to accentuate their eye color via their headpiece color.<br />
This trend abruptly changed to almost exclusively all white , ivory or pure crystal headpieces. Personally, I think an extremely subtle amount of color can be gorgeous. The color has to come from very high quality sources. Either the tiniest perfect peridot, acquamarine, rose quartz, or other gemstone, the tiniest of Swarovski crystals can add a very pretty depth of interest to a headpiece.<br />
In general, color is still rarely chosen by brides. Because trends are cyclical, I believe we are on the cusp of a return to color. However, for the bride completely disinterested in the trends, a splash of the most subtle color might be just perfect for her headpiece.<br />
As always, you as the bride, dictate your taste preferences. Always choose what you want and love as your look on your wedding day.Something about Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07558588296892908764noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584177005119088949.post-51817576206225682122011-06-06T13:29:00.000-07:002011-06-11T09:06:13.583-07:00Are Handmade Headpieces Better Than Mass Produced?<span style="font-family: verdana;">Handmade does not always indicate unique or better quality. There are many crafters and sellers in the headpiece industry who think that stringing some pearls and crystals on a comb or gluing a feather to a clip constitutes a headpiece. Surely, you wouldn't want Aunt Harriett gathering some flowers from her garden to make your wedding bouquet. In the same way, you wouldn't want her to create your headpiece. I have found that the best handmade headpieces are created by people with jewelry making, fashion, and hair accessory experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Handmade headpieces have more flexibility regarding the components used to make the headpiece. You need to be particulary careful that the designer uses the best quality ingredients. It is highly preferrable that they use jewelry grade such as sterling silver, 14kt gold or gold filled, freshwater pearls, gemstones, and Swarovski crystals. There is a huge difference in the look of a headpiece using inferior materials. The sparkle from Swarovski crystals is a brilliant sparkle, whereas other crystals don't reflect the light in nearly the same capacity. Many sellers of handmade headpieces say they use Swarovski, but in fact, don't. Some use plastic "crystals" that really don't sparkle. The same is true for pearls. There are some high quality faux pearls that are fitting to certain pieces. But, often, fake pearls are just plastic with a paint covering and have a very cheap look. You certainly wouldn't wear a necklace or earrings of such inferior quality. The headpiece should be considered as "hair jewelry" since it is an accessory worn near your face meant to enhance your appearance. You need to consider the design and quality of the headpiece before you purchase. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Quality control with a quality headpiece designer is more obtainable than with mass produced, machine made headpieces. Often, the machine made pieces have glued components that fall out very shortly after purchase. The last thing you want is a headpiece missing some of its parts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;">If your desire is to express yourself in a unique way, then handmade can help. If you are working with a reputable designer, the creation can be uniquely yours. On the downside, some designers will not accept returns when the piece has been custom made.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;">Another very important aspect of handmade that can be crucial for some brides is the fit. If you have very thin or thick hair or a very large or small head, certain styles can work better than others. You can request your headpiece on a very fine toothed comb or on a small clip or even on bobby pins. A tiara can be sized either larger or smaller. Handmade has the versatility to accommodate special sizing requests. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">No one will dispute the fact that a woman's wedding day is one of the most special days in her life. For most women, being the focal point of a social event of this magnitude, only occurs on her wedding day. Since you are reading this blog, you obviously are either a bride to be or somehow involved in the wedding planning process. You know the enormous amount of effort involved in having everything from head to toe as perfect as possible. Certainly, the gown is the most obvious important element of the "look". From the starting point of the gown, there is a definite need for a bride to accessorize. For some brides, their lifelong dream was to be a princess on their wedding day. It is without question that these women will wear a tiara. For other brides, the idea of even a tiny bit of sparkle in the hair seems too girly girl. At Mary Clary Designs, we believe that certainly everyone has a different view of themselves as a bride, and we try to work with the bride to accommodate each individual. Of course, we adore adorning the head in some way. </span>Something about Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07558588296892908764noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584177005119088949.post-3723018167818365172011-06-01T19:00:00.000-07:002011-06-02T08:30:20.999-07:00"I am not completely happy with the headpiece my aunt gave me to wear" If you were given a headpiece that is truly beautiful and you love it, but it is missing some stones, and just needs a tweek here and there, you can have a headpiece designer fix it for you. If the designer is experienced and good, she or he can replace stones, and straighten out any imperfection. <br />
If you were given a headpiece or found a vintage piece that you love in certain ways, but you would prefer the components redesigned, a competent headpiece designer can also accomplish that for you. The key word here is "competent". You want someone who really knows what they are doing to rework your headpiece. <br />
If you have just one component from a previously used headpiece that you love and would like to incorporate just the component into your headpiece, it can definitely be accomplished by using a headpiece designer who specializes in custom work.<br />
I love to design new headpieces and to work on older ones to bring them up to perfection. Some of the most interesting unique and beautiful pieces are comprised of the foundation being the "given" headpiece with embellishments from many other sources.Something about Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07558588296892908764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584177005119088949.post-29742076509889888752011-05-31T09:29:00.000-07:002011-07-30T12:12:58.338-07:00Finding the Right Headpiece for Fine Hair<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

If your hair is very thin and/or fine, and a comb or hairpin would just slide out, there are ways to get around this. Instead of a hairpin or comb, a beautiful vintage or modern sparkly design on a bobby pin or tiny clip will work better for you. The secret is to make the design very light and airy. If you have your heart set on a comb, be sure that the comb has very fine teeth that can be anchored with additional bobby pins. If you have always wanted to wear a tiara on your wedding day, I recommend a tight fitting headband instead. It can have the same feeling as a tiara, but will hold better if your hair is very fine. I love to work with you to create exactly what you need and want.

The <i>destination wedding</i>, in particular, the beach wedding, has become a popular venue. Many brides are wearing headpieces to reflect the setting of their wedding. In so doing, they often end up looking like they put the whole beach on their head.<br />
<br />
It is not necessary to overly dramatize the fact that your are being married at the beach. It will be apparent. As a bride, you will want to exhibit your exquisite taste and beauty. You will probably not be wearing beach attire, so why wear a beach headpiece? You will want to choose your headpiece with the same thought that you would put into purchasing an important piece of jewelry for the most important event of your life. You don't want to look as though you are wearing a costume in any way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, if your fantasy is to be a "mermaid princess" on your wedding, you can still accomplish this by subtly including tiny seashells, freshwater coin pearls, and perhaps a touch of aquamarines into the design of your headpiece. At Mary Clary Designs we will work with you to create the "<i>Beach Wedding</i>" headpiece of your dreams whether that includes elements of the beach or not.</div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee;">Opinions vary as to the best time for the headpiece purchase. Some bridal manuals suggest that the headpiece should be purchased at the time of the gown purchase. Of course, the bridal salons will encourage you to do your "one stop" purchasing at their salon. This is not necessarily the best idea. The bridal salon may have spectacular gowns, but not all have equally beautiful headpieces. They all, however, will definitely overcharge you in a huge way, for your headpiece. My recommendation, is to first purchase your gown. Secondly, have your hair consultation. Once you know the style of your gown and hair, you can decide on the style of your headpiece.</span><br />
<span style="color: #eeeeee;">You should ask your consultants at the bridal salon and at the hair salon, what style they would recommend for your gown, hairstyle, and hair type. Once you have the basic information, use your good taste to find your perfect headpiece.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><em><br /></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><em>Vintage</em> is currenty very trendy for brides. Many brides are choosing gowns and <em>headpieces</em> that are either truly <em>vintage</em> or have a <em>vintage</em> quality (vintagesque). There is a huge quality differential in the category "<em>vintage</em>." <em>Vintage</em> simply means something that is at least 20 years old. So, if the <em>vintage headpiece</em> was poor quality and in bad taste 20 years ago, it probably still is, but it is now old on top of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Therefore, you have to use your discerning eye, and really look at the <em>headpiece</em> for it's intrinsic qualities. Do you love it because it is beautiful and well made, or do you just love the fact that it has a quality from a different era?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">You really don't have to be hung up on whether the <em>headpiece </em>you have chosen is authentically <em>vintage</em>. If it has the look that goes with the rest of your ensemble and is excellent quality, then being authentically old shouldn't really matter.</span><br />
