What headpieces make Chinese wedding gown attire more outstanding?
When a bride wears a Chinese wedding gown, it may be one of the rare occasions in her life where she dresses in such a traditional and "Chinese-style" manner. Apart from wearing appropriate gold jewellery, what can make the bride even more concerned is her makeup and hairstyle.
Generally, to complement the solemnity of the Chinese wedding gown, brides often style their hair in an updo and accessorise it with hair ornaments. Unlike when wearing a wedding gown with a veil that covers the hair, when wearing a Chinese wedding gown without a veil, the choice of headpiece becomes crucial. So, which headpieces can make the Chinese wedding gown attire more outstanding?
Fresh Flowers
Fresh flowers are the most convenient choice. When the florist prepares the bridal bouquet and corsages, there are usually leftover flowers that can be put to good use. However, it is important to note that fresh flowers have a limited lifespan, and light-colored flowers will show signs of wilting more prominently. Additionally, if the hair is not voluminous enough to support the weight of the fresh flowers, there is a risk of them falling off.
Ribbons and Artificial Headpieces
The most common option is artificial headpieces or tying a bow with ribbons. Artificial headpieces come in various styles, with many resembling flowers, symbolising prosperity and abundance. Tying a bow with ribbons, on the other hand, adds a youthful touch and creates a lively and cute look. It is important to note that artificial headpieces are often made of plastic or synthetic fibers, making them prone to damage. The bows may also come undone easily, so it's advisable for accompanying bridesmaids to check them regularly.
Gold Hair Adornment
Gold hair adornment can be considered the most luxurious choice for headpieces. Larger gold hair adornment can be adorned above the updo, sparkling and exuding an air of nobility and luxury. Even smaller gold hair adornment, when placed on the left or right side of the temples, can serve as eye-catching embellishments, capturing the attention of onlookers. Chow Sang Sang's gold hair adornment draw inspiration from ginkgo leaves, symbolising happiness and longevity.
