Otherwise, we would make a head-
piece that goes with many different
style gowns."
Pulver has witnessed several head-
piece trends. Formerly, the headpiece
was worn on the top of the head and
pushed forward to the front. Head-
pieces had short veils. Mantillas were
very popular. Some were attached to
a comb, others to a little frame. Long,
lacy veils were attached to the man-
tillas. More recently, hats had their
heyday, as did headpieces with an
abundance of sequins and glitter and
dangling beads.
Now, many headpieces are de-
signed to be worn on the back of the
head. Why? "Because hairstyles
change. Brides these days love to show
off their hair. They also do a lot with
makeup and they want to show off
their faces." Mantillas are no longer
popular. Neither are the glittery head-
pieces with the dangling beads.
"They're made for the runway and for
ads but they really don't sell. It's what
I call a gaudy style," Pulver says.
So what is popular? Headpieces
with beads and sequins on lace. Bands
across the forehead although, as he
points out, "it takes a pretty face, a
tiny nose, a nice hairline and a fairly
high forehead to wear that type of
headpiece." Hand-made lace flowers
attached to a half-moon frame, with
combs on either side to hold it in the
hair.
Attached to the flowers' frame are
two veils: a pouf veil and a longer veil.
"The pouf veil is small, like a bubble
that comes over the back of the head.
It's very popular because it goes with
a lot of hairstyles and girls think it
looks like a cloud framing their faces,
which it does. The lace flowers are
popular because they go with a lot of
hairstyles and they're very comfort-
able," he says.
Pulver doesn't see any headpiece
preferences based on age of the bride
or season of the year. Regional dif-
ferences are long gone. "Years ago,
there were places where hats were big
and places where you couldn't sell
hats; places where mantillas were
popular and places where they
