Wire Art Bridal Hairpiece and Hairstyles

Wire art bridal accessories are a very popular choice among brides and hairstylists, if one prefers something unique, yet still  possesses traditional elements . The great thing about a wire art piece is that they're easy to use, since wire is flexible enough to be fashioned onto hair, depending on your hair style. You can also opt to wear your hairpiece, regardless if your hairstyle is an updos, down, or half- do. 

TYPES OF HAIRSTYLES

1. Updos- This type of hairstyle is most commonly by brides, and the easiest to style using wire art pieces.

2. Down- Brides don't usually wear their hair down for their wedding day, but doing so can be interesting, sophisticated, and glamorous; with the right attitude, and of course, the right accessory.

3. Half Updos-  A compromise between the first two hairstyles. If you want to let your hair down and get the dramatic effect of updos, this is the right style for you.

Head-Wraps and Head Scarves

We've been playing around with our newly found passion for scarves. We had an idea to make head-wraps, and it came about when Tita Mercy, an inspiring and strong-willed woman battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy, and needed an alternative to a wig. In conjunction to this, we have been receiving requests to make "Tarhas" to pair with Abayas, by family and friends based in the Middle East. Thus our affair with head-wraps and head scarves began. 

Our inspiration, Tita Mercy, wearing her head-wrap with customized brooch. We made a two-toned head-wrap which she can wear to work.

The fabric we used for our two toned head-wraps are micro-peach and chiffon.

More two-toned head-wraps.

This one is a triangle scarf, with beading on the edges, which

 can be used as "Tarha" over an Abaya. 

This  scarf collection  is named after my mother, Rosalina. Unlike the Hiraya Scarf-Necklace, the beading is embroidered around the edges of the scarf. This was inspired by the beading techniques of women from Basilan, Philippines.  

Our Hiraya Scarf-Necklace can be used as a head-wrap and necklace at the same time!

Using the Hiraya Scarf-Necklace as a headpiece looks romantic, like a "Juliet" inspired veil. You can have something like this customized for your wedding entourage. Let the girls wear it as a headpiece on your wedding ceremony, and afterwards they can wear it as a scarf-necklace.

Another fun way to wear the scarf as a headpiece is to use it as a headband.

 Braid the rest of the scarf to your hair.

With just one scarf and a little bit of imagination, 

there are many ways to use it as a head accessory.

Here are our favorite videos on head-wraps from MOAMNetwork

Bridal Hair Fix for a Short Hair

Last year during the Philippine Heart Center’s Charity Bazaar we met Liezl, a medical representative and a bride. She was about to get married and was in the process of making the final arrangements for her wedding. She requested us to make a hairpiece for her, but she was oblivious as to what design, and how it should be worn with short hair.  In comparison with her maid of honor, who had very long hair, she kept hers short. Liezl couldn’t imagine what other hairstyles would suffice.  We wanted her day to be extra special through a single hairpiece.

Grecian Leaf Head Piece: Floral Hair-comb by Ginny & Jude

The idea behind the design is based on the Grecian leaf headpiece.  Liezl's hairstylist can fashion the headpiece around her head using hair pins for a queenly look. We used wire art techniques to combine white, chocolate brown and beige acrylic crystals to match the bride's gown.

5. Headbands are the safest way to add flair to a pixie cut. As long as you choose the right design that fits your preferences and wedding theme, you're good to go.
