There’s something undeniably enchanting about vintage bridal fashion. The intricate beading, the dreamy silhouettes, and the romance of another era—these details hold a powerful sway over modern brides searching for a style that transcends fleeting trends. Among the most evocative ways to incorporate this nostalgic charm into a wedding ensemble is through vintage hair accessories and statement bridal hats. Whether you're drawn to the sophistication of Grace Kelly or the allure of Audrey Hepburn, the right accessory can transport you—and your guests—into a bygone era of glamour.
At Imperial Lola, vintage-inspired elegance isn’t just an aesthetic—it’s our signature.

With the upcoming launch of our exclusive Light Summer Collection, available only through our WhatsApp Business this July, we’re inviting brides-to-be and vintage fashion lovers to experience a curated collection of refined accessories that honor Old Hollywood charm.
Below, we’ll explore how you can achieve vintage glamour on your big day through expert advice and give you an inside look at what makes Imperial Lola a one-of-a-kind bridal accessories brand that’s rewriting luxury for the modern romantic.
✨ Achieve Vintage Glamour With Bridal Accessories
In a recent expert insight shared via Featured.com, industry thought leader Georgi Petrov, CMO and entrepreneur at AIG MARKETER, offered this timeless styling advice:
“Incorporating Old Hollywood or vintage elegance into a wedding look with embellished hair accessories or statement hats is a fantastic way to add a timeless, glamorous touch to the bride's overall appearance. As a stylist, I always recommend starting with pieces that evoke classic styles, like vintage-inspired tiaras, pearl-encrusted headbands, or feathered hair clips. These can add instant sophistication and connect with the glamorous style of icons like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly.
Statement hats are also a wonderful way to channel Old Hollywood glamour, especially when styled with a sleek updo or soft waves. Think of wide-brimmed hats adorned with lace, silk flowers, or veils that evoke the romantic and refined style of vintage bridal fashion. The key is to strike a balance--while the hat or accessory should stand out, it shouldn't overwhelm the bride's features or compete with her gown.
For a retro-glam look, I advise pairing these accessories with a gown that has clean lines or vintage-inspired details, like lace or satin. Keep the makeup and hair complementary, with bold lips and soft, voluminous waves or a chic chignon, to further elevate the look. Timelessness is achieved when all the elements come together to tell a story of vintage charm without feeling overdone.”
This expert insight beautifully captures what we at Imperial Lola believe: that accessories are not an afterthought—they are the statement.
The Art of Embellishment: Imperial Lola’s Approach to Old Hollywood Bridal Glam
Founded by Grace, a fashion visionary and vintage romantic, Imperial Lola was born out of a desire to merge craftsmanship, femininity, and classic glamor in the world of bridal accessories. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, with a nod to eras gone by—from Edwardian elegance to 1950s screen sirens.
"As a brand owner curating vintage-inspired bridal accessories at Imperial Lola, I'm passionate about helping modern brides bring the opulence of Old Hollywood to life through timeless design and intricate embellishments. Our pieces are more than accessories—they're heirlooms in the making." — Grace, Founder of Imperial Lola
From jeweled barrettes inspired by antique brooches to wide-brimmed veiled hats that mirror the sophistication of classic cinema weddings, every Imperial Lola design tells a story. We hand-select luxurious materials—think soft feathers, glimmering rhinestones, and intricate lacework—to bring that magical vintage feeling into every bridal moment.
Statement Bridal Hats: Bold, Beautiful, and Retro-Chic
A growing number of brides are skipping the veil and opting for statement hats to add a dramatic flair to their bridal look. These headpieces work especially well for outdoor ceremonies, vintage-themed weddings, and elopements.
At Imperial Lola, we’ve redefined the bridal hat with our signature aesthetic. Imagine a sculpted ivory fascinator, embellished with blush-toned crystals and finished with a soft lace birdcage veil. Or a summer-ready, wide-brimmed straw hat, adorned with handcrafted silk florals and pearls—light enough for a beach wedding, elegant enough for the grandest affair.
Our bridal hats are inspired by archival fashion photography, vintage Hollywood premieres, and the kind of weddings where glamour meets intimacy. These aren’t your grandmother’s wedding hats—they’re handmade treasures meant to turn heads and spark admiration.
Hair Accessories That Tell a Story
Imperial Lola’s embellished hair accessories range from minimalist pearl pins to dramatic statement combs. These pieces are designed to complement vintage-style gowns, from satin sheaths to tea-length lace dresses.
Key pieces from past collections have included:
The “Vivien” Hair Comb – with crystal sprays reminiscent of Art Deco chandeliers.
The “Marlene” Velvet Bow Clip – a nod to mid-century elegance with bold, structured drama.
The “Grace” Pearl Crown – inspired by the wedding tiara worn by Grace Kelly, updated for modern wear.
Each accessory is designed to work with a range of bridal hairstyles: from soft updos to cascading waves. We always encourage brides to mix and match elements—a vintage veil paired with a floral hairpin, or a satin ribbon wrapped around a low bun with a side clip—for a personalized retro look.

Styling Tips for the Retro Bride
Styling a vintage bridal look is about creating harmony between the past and the present. Here are five practical tips from both our design team and stylists who love working with vintage aesthetics:
1. Match Your Era
Are you drawn to the 1920s, 1940s, or 1950s? Define your decade of inspiration and let that guide your accessories. For instance:
1920s: Art Deco combs, jeweled headbands, short veils.
1940s: Hair rolls, ribboned clips, floral fascinators.
1950s: Structured hats, pearls, tulle veils.
2. Balance the Bold
If your hairpiece is a standout, keep your jewelry minimal. Let your hat or embellished clip be the conversation piece. Vintage glamour is all about effortless drama.
3. Lean into Textures
Use lace, feathers, silk, and velvet to evoke retro luxury. These textures photograph beautifully and resonate with vintage design.
4. Consider the Hair Style
Retro looks often feature:
Soft, voluminous curls.
Sleek buns or chignons.
Half-updos with barrette accents.
Imperial Lola accessories are crafted to enhance these classic hairstyles without overwhelming them.
5. Own Your Look
Whether you're the bride or a bridal party member, wear your vintage accessory with confidence. You’re not replicating history—you’re rewriting it with your unique touch.
