Adding texture to a bridal updo or half up hairstyle is a great way to incject thickness into thin hair.

When Should I Buy My Bridal Hair Accessories?
We would recommend that you buy your bridal hair piece in time for your hair trial. This will help you to see your chosen hair accessory as it will look on the big day and help your hairdresser to know what they’ll be doing on the actual day, too!
The type of style and design you choose will also depend on your wedding dress and veil. For example, a brow band might not work with the type of wedding veil you choose. Similarly, a hair vine might not be visible beneath your veil. Because of this, we’d recommend purchasing your bridal hair piece once you’ve made those final decisions and get it in time for your wedding dress fitting to help you see how it will look on your wedding day.
Bespoke bridal hair pieces may take longer to reach you, so it’s important to give yourself plenty of time. At Lace & Favour, we endeavor to be transparent with our lead times for wedding accessories, with information regarding delivery times featuring in most of our product listings. If you require a product sooner, please contact us. We will try and accommodate shorter turnaround times where we can.
Whether you're looking to wear your bridal hair up or down, with a veil or without, I'm hoping this article has given you lots of ideas and inspiration for your wedding hairstyle. Love Amy x
