The traditional bride
When the bride wears the dimija, the traditional Albanian bridal dress, the hair is far from a small detail. It has to carry the headpiece, hold through hours of dancing and sit in harmony with the outfit. We build these hairstyles with the care they ask for.
The dimija is not only an outfit, it is a whole tradition that the hair should complete rather than fight. That is why a hairstyle for the dimija follows rules a modern one does not: the weight of the headpiece, the harmony with the embroidery and a hold that lasts a long evening.
Many brides in Kosovo have more than one look on the wedding day: the dimija for part of the ceremony and a modern hairstyle for the rest. We plan both so the change is calm and the timing works. For the modern looks, see the bridal hairstyles page.
With the dimija the trial matters even more, because the headpiece and jewellery have to be tried on the real hairstyle, not imagined. Besire sees how your hair holds under the true weight of the outfit and adjusts it before the big day, so nothing takes you by surprise.
The bridal hairstyle costs 100 €, with the trial included. It pairs naturally with bridal makeup and with skincare before the wedding. For the summer season, when the diaspora comes home and weddings follow one after another, write to us early.
