Faux Pearl Headband for Brides

Our Faux Pearl Headband for Brides is built like a small garland, with sprigs of ivory faux pearls wired onto a gold-tone band so it has the loose, botanical outline of a garden wreath rather than a flat strip. Most beads are elongated, rice-shaped faux pearls, mixed with smaller round ones and clear faceted beads.

How the Bridal Headband Is Wired

Each cluster sits on gold-tone wire twisted over a gold-tone band. The volume is greatest at the crown and slims toward the sides, where each end finishes in a small gold-tone wire loop. Those loops are handy: slide a bobby pin through each one and the headband stays put through portraits, hugs and the first dance.

Wearing This Faux Pearl Headband with Hair Down or Up

Our photos show the bride both ways. With hair down, the band sits like a crown and the rice-shaped faux pearls frame the face. With an updo, set it a little further back so the fullest part rests along the top of the bun. For a 1920s-inspired reception we like it with finger waves and drop earrings. The gowns and earrings are styling only. Slimmer and padded styles wait in our pearl headbands collection.

Bridal Headband FAQ

Does the gold-tone band show between the faux pearls?

A little, by design. The warm gold-tone wire peeks between the clusters, which flatters ivory and champagne gowns. If all your jewelry is silver-tone, we would choose a different style.

What are the clear beads?

Small clear faceted beads, placed between the faux pearls to add sparkle when you move. They are decorative beads, not gemstones.

Can bridesmaids wear it as well?

They can, though it is quite full. We usually keep this one for the bride and give bridesmaids a slimmer gold-tone band, so she stands out in group photos.
