What is wreath?
First, it's nice to explain what is wreath, in fact. Despite being always on the “mouth of the people” and, mainly, of brides, few people know its characteristics, functions and meanings.
Explaining in a basic way, the wreath is any accessory used in the bride's hairstyle. We can mention the main ones: tiara, crown, sash, clip, clip, point of light, among others.
Tiaras and crowns are among the most used models of wreaths, as well as sought after by brides. They are the most traditional, recalling the look of princesses and duchesses.
The British muse Kate Middleton, for example, got married with a beautiful crown in addition to the veil. And one of the wreath's functions is to actually "hold" the veil or mantilla.
The coolest thing is that there are wreaths for all types of brides, with the most different styles of hair and hairstyles. The important thing is that this piece matches the rest of the look, leaving it completely harmonious.
According to experts, there is no reason for the bride to wear a wreath that she thinks is wonderful if it does not fit her personality and does not match her dress, shoes, jewelry or hairstyle. Everything must 'talk'.
What are wreaths made of? There is no standard material that should be used. There are models made with loose jewelry by specialized professionals. There are also handmade ones, embroidered by hand.
Lace, rhinestones, rhinestones, natural or glass pearls, plated metals, ribbons and bows and flowers are among the main materials used to make wreaths for brides.

Veil and garland
This is a classic. And although nowadays it has lost some of its essential meaning related to religion, which is purity, it is still remembered by many brides.
The veil guarantees a very delicate look before, during and after the ceremony. The photos are lush with this accessory, especially when attached to the wreaths.
The most voluminous and long ones are excellent for those who are going to get married in a lush and large church. Short ones are good for daytime weddings. Mantillas, in turn, are more romantic alternatives and can favor the look to get married on the beach or in the countryside.
Wreaths are available to complement. It could be a crown or tiara, a clasp on the back, or two on the sides.

Loose hair with crown
It's super trendy to resort to simple hairstyles that don't need a lot of work to make them. Loose ones, for example, can even be made by the brides themselves, without the help of a professional.
Short and long hair can be free and gain details according to the bride's desire. There's how to make curls, waves, apply mousse and pomade to leave them in 'place', make small braids just to give a special touch… in short, many options.
The wreath also comes in as a very strong element in the case of brides who will wear loose hair. Even the most casual ones have beautiful options that can harmonize this look.
Tiaras are among the models that best match loose hair. They can be structured, fabric, embroidered, metal, etc. Unlike crowns, they sit more closely on the head and can be worn not only on top, but also draped over the forehead or even the back.
In daytime or outdoor weddings, it is common to resort to flower tiaras. When the hair is short, it is better that they are small flowers. Evening weddings, however, call for a bright wreath, even if the hair is loose.
There are several loose hairstyles using crowns to know about. Stay on top of the inspiring images we brought:
simple wreath
Do you prefer to finish your hairstyle with a simple accessory? A delicate wreath might be the best way out. There are many styles that go with something without a lot of fussy details.
Stripped, minimalist brides who value a natural look, usually like to give a simple finish to the hairstyle. And don't go thinking that simple means ugly or 'poor'.
On the contrary. Most of the time, resorting to simplicity guarantees the bride's look an unparalleled sophistication. And it is also much easier to combine with the rest of the composition.
That is, a simple wreath goes well with a dress with a lot of shine or other details, as they will not “fight” visually. It will not overload production.
It is also excellent for accessorizing with equally simple dresses, with a clean cut and fit. Modern brides tend to be quite fond of this type of wreath.

Low bun with crown
We can also talk about the low bun which is a hairstyle finished with the crown.
As the name implies, it is a bun made on the underside of the head. Instead of the hair being raised, it is just pulled towards the back and rests at the nape of the neck.
Low buns are known for exuding romance and femininity. They are in great demand to create more relaxed looks for weddings with a vintage, beach, country, registry office or other environment, usually held during the day.
A crown that looks great in this type of hairstyle is the comb. They are pinned normally where the bun is attached, hiding the elastic/clip.
