For nearly two decades, Gisele Del Busto has been one of the guiding forces behind Maria Elena Headpieces and Accessories. With a background in modeling and a lifelong passion for fashion, she has helped shape the brand’s identity, lead its sales and fashion direction, and style thousands of brides around the world. Loved for her warm personality and impeccable eye, Gisele is known for helping brides discover accessories that feel authentic, beautiful, and deeply personal.

Gisele recommends starting with your gown’s design: neckline, texture, embellishment, and overall silhouette. Accessories should enhance these details, not compete with them.
If the gown is ornate, choose something soft and balanced.
If the gown is simple, a more dimensional or bold accessory can elevate the entire look.
Gisele says both choices should work together. Your hairstyle helps guide the shape and style of your accessory, while the accessory can influence how your hair is styled. The goal is harmony and flow.
According to Gisele, absolutely. Mixing gold, silver, and rose gold can look modern and layered when done intentionally. She often ties the metals to tones found in the bouquet or gown for a cohesive finish.
Gisele matches each piece to the bride’s style and comfort level.
Crowns create presence.
Headbands offer timeless versatility.
Combs deliver soft, romantic elegance and work beautifully with updos.
Trying on multiple pieces always helps clarify what feels most “you.”
Gisele’s advice: choose the one that makes you feel something. Bridal accessories are emotional and will live in photos for a lifetime. The piece that brings joy or confidence is always the right choice.
Gisele suggests selecting your accessories soon after choosing your gown. This ensures enough time for handcrafted production, customizations, and hair trials. Accessories should feel thoughtful, never rushed.
To Gisele, styling is about honoring individual beauty. Her philosophy is simple: choose pieces that feel meaningful, highlight your natural features, and bring harmony to your entire bridal look. With her guidance, every bride can step into her wedding day feeling confident, radiant, and completely herself.
