3 ideas for wearing Marais hairpins - white, rose or ivory pearls
Looking for a modern and delicate bridal hairstyle? Marais hairpins are the signature accessory for bohemian, classic, and chic brides.
Handmade in Paris, they combine gold leaves with natural white pearls, rose pearls, or ivory pearls — to match your dress, your complexion, and your style.
Discover 3 wedding hairstyle ideas and our tips for choosing the right pearl color. Share this guide with your hairdresser to prepare for your special day together.
1. Bridal low bun hairstyle with gold hairpins
Perfect for: classic wedding, château ceremony, minimalist backless dress.
The low bun is a wedding hairstyle classic—elegant, timeless, and the ideal playground for Marais hairpins.
Place 3 to 5 hairpins around the bun, tilting them slightly, like foliage following the curve of the hairstyle. The effect is refined, botanical, timeless.
For this style, we recommend the set of 3, which allows you to create a beautiful composition around the bun.

2. Half-up bohemian bridal hairstyle with gold accessory
Perfect for: outdoor wedding, flowing dress, wavy or curly hair.
For a boho bridal hairstyle that leaves hair free, a half-updo is perfect.
Slide a few hairpins at the base of the updo, or on each side to frame the face. The pearls catch the light without weighing down the hairstyle — an airy effect, ideal for an outdoor or rustic wedding.
For this style, we recommend the set of 3 or the set of 5 depending on the desired effect:
The set of 3 is enough for a discreet and refined golden touch — perfect if you are already wearing other prominent accessories (earrings, intricate veil) or if you prefer a minimalist look.
The set of 5 obviously adds more volume and creates a true floral composition around the attachment — ideal for long or thick hair, and for brides who want the hairpins to be the main jewel of the hairstyle.

3. Bridal hairstyle with veil and golden hairpins
Perfect for: classic or religious wedding, church ceremony, traditional dress, a bride who wants a bohemian-chic look while still wearing a veil.
The wedding veil remains the iconic accessory for the big day — and Marais hairpins complement it beautifully.
Place a few hairpins just in front of or around the veil comb, adding a touch of gold and sparkle.
The secret: once the veil is removed, the hairpins continue to enhance the hairstyle. One accessory, two looks for the day.
For this style, we recommend the set of 3 or the set of 5 depending on the desired effect:
For this use, the set of 3 is often the most appropriate choice: the veil remains the main accessory, and 3 well-placed hairpins provide just the right amount of light without competing with it.
The set of 5 makes perfect sense for brides who remove their veil in the evening — it ensures that the hairstyle retains its sparkle all on its own, without needing to add accessories between the ceremony and the party.
To achieve this look, opt for a high bun rather than a low bun: it creates a better anchor for the veil comb and remains fully showcased when the veil is removed for the evening.

White, rose or ivory pearls: how to choose the color of your hairpins
Marais hairpins are available in 3 natural pearl variants—each for a different style. Here's how to choose according to your dress and overall look:
Our haircare tip: the odd numbers rule
Bridal hair jewelry is best showcased in odd-numbered groups - 3, 5, or 7 hairpins rather than a single isolated one.
It's no coincidence that we offer Marais hairpins in sets of 3 and 5: these are the compositions that look best in a hairstyle.
Space them irregularly and vary the depths to create your own floral arrangement.
Why choose hairpins handmade in Paris?
Marais hairpins are handmade in Paris, with gold leaves and natural pearls - white, rose or ivory.
Each hairpin is unique, designed for brides who want a modern, delicate and truly bespoke hair accessory.
Available individually, in sets of 3 and sets of 5, to suit all hairstyles.
