What to Wear for a Wedding: A Guide to Statement Earrings, Ear Cuffs and Bridal Headpieces

You found the dress. You booked the shoes. Now comes the part most people forget until the last minute: what goes on your ears and in your hair.

At Heavenly, every piece is handmade in Dallas, TX. Our statement ear pieces wrap around the ear with no piercing needed, so they are easy to wear, easy to take off after hours of dancing, and a lot more memorable than a regular pair of earrings. Here is how to choose, whether you are the bride, a bridesmaid or a guest.

If you are the bride

Your ear piece should feel like part of the whole look, not an afterthought. Soft whites, ivory, beige and gold work beautifully with a wedding dress and feel naturally regal.

Our Nube Wild Ear Piece is made with fluffy white feathers for a dreamy, romantic finish. The Arena Rose Ear Piece pairs sandy beige roses with clear crystals for a soft, timeless look. The Hielo Crystal Ear Piece brings clear crystal flowers that catch the light. And the Ivory Garden Ear Cuff adds translucent ivory leaves and tiny white beads without overwhelming a simple dress.

Bridal headpieces to match

Want to wear the story from your hair to your ears? These headpieces are made in ivory, off white, beige and gold, and every one is made to order for you:

• Queen Esther Headband, ivory and beige pearls and crystals on a beige headband.
• Paula Headpiece, a hair comb with off white and gold pearls and gold crystals.
• Royale Headband, gold and ivory with a sprinkle of light blush.
• Lola Headband, a thick gold and ivory statement headband.
• Luisa Headband, earth tone pearls with gold details.
• Margie Headpiece, delicate gold details with flowers made of tiny seed beads.
• Jazmin Headband, pearls, flowers and crystals, classy and beautiful.

If you are a bridesmaid

Choose one color that works with your dress and let the ear piece be the only statement. Because our pieces are handmade in small batches or one of a kind, you can coordinate without everyone looking identical.

If you are a wedding guest

This is where you get to have fun. A bold ear piece turns a simple dress into an outfit people ask about. Pick a color that echoes something in your look and keep everything else quiet. Try the Bugambilia Ear Piece in hot pink, the Cobalto Burst Ear Piece in cobalt blue, or the Uva Burst Ear Piece in deep purple.

Headpieces with color

For a guest look with color, these headpieces are all made to order:

• Oia Headband, shades of blue crystals with gold pearls.
• Perissa Headband, coral chip stones, crystals and gold.
• Reina Emerald Headband, emerald green stones.
• Mila Headband, lilac crystals with light silver pearls.
• Julieta Headband, gold pearls with a pop of colored crystals.
• Makarena Headband, black beads with colorful glass seed flowers.

Custom pieces for the bride's party moment

Planning a hora loca, an after party or a big dance floor moment? That is when the bride changes into something bigger, bolder and impossible to miss. We make custom statement pieces for exactly that: larger ear pieces and headpieces designed around your colors, your dress and the mood of your party.

Every custom piece is handmade to order in Dallas, TX. Tell us about your wedding with our custom request form and we will reply with ideas and a quote. Since custom pieces take time to make, reach out as early as you can.

Why statement ear pieces work for weddings

No piercing is needed, so they are comfortable for a long day and night. They are light, so they will not weigh down your ears. And because they are handmade in small batches or one of a kind, you will not see yourself coming and going.

How to wear them

Keep your hair up or tucked behind the ear so the piece is seen. Skip big earrings on the same ear. Let one piece be the moment.
