Hair Pins: Why They Are Such a Chic Part of a Bride’s UK Bridal Hair Accessories
We've often heard the phrase "everything old is new again”. That phrase is particularly apt when one considers bridal hair accessories. With so many UK weddings tending toward a vintage look, many wedding bridal accessories are designed to create a feeling of days long ago. The hair styles chosen by the bride and bridesmaids also replicate that classic experience through wedding hair pins, wedding hair clips and wedding hair combs. Hair pins are particularly important wedding hair accessories for styles with a yesteryear feeling. Let’s explore further into turning hairpins into bridal party accessories.
Bridal Hair Accessories -Hairpins Over the Ages
Hair pins have been used throughout the years by many ancient peoples, like the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Ladies of the time, just like in the modern day, used them to fasten their hair onto the top or back of their twisted hair. Hair pins were often embellished with gemstones like lapis lazuli and turquoise. In some societies, these pins were set aside for special events, as were bridal tiaras and wedding hair combs.
Hair Pin Designs
There are essentially two forms of the hair pin. The first category is the straight pin of about 3” or 4”. The second type is an elongated U-shaped design in which the "legs" can be straight or wavy. Although many hair pins are embellished, there are others that are fine and thin and designed to become virtually invisible when inserted into the hair. Over time, bridal hair pins have turned into essential wear. Regardless of whether they are decorated with freshwater pearls or Swarovski crystals, hair pins are as basic and essential as wedding hair clips, bridal headpieces, as well as pearl and crystal bridal hair accessories.
Ideas for Designs on Hair Pins
Assuming you will wear pins, try to go with attractive groupings. It's also smart to coordinate your other bridal accessories along with the hairpins for a truly unified appearance. Hair pins often are available in colour to compliment your wedding's colour scheme. The most charming pins are the ones made to order. Such pins let you add special touches, such as butterflies, blossoms or leaves.

Rubbery robots no threat to R2-D2 (KSAT)
Not long ago, a pair of Harvard scientists hit on an "aha" moment in the most
unexpected place: while waiting in line at a post office. Robert Shepherd and
Filip Ilievski were trying to help the rest of their research team create a
new generation of bendable rubbery robots called soft robots. They already had
a design that allowed their bendy robot to undulate, or move in a wavy motion.
But they were looking for a design that offered more movement. "We knew that
nature already has a lot of quadrupeds walking around, and we already had this
undulator design," Shepherd said. "We thought, oh, we could just map one onto
the other and we would have an undulator and a quadrupedal crawler."
Unprepared for their moment of inspiration at the post office, Shepherd and
Ilievski were forced to jot down their ideas on an envelope. They unveiled
their creation in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Their
team, headed by George Whitesides, has dubbed the invention the multigait soft
robot. Soft robotics, experts say, is the cutting edge of robot design and
holds unimaginable promise for several reasons. First, let's point ...
