While the dream dress and in-step shoes are often a wedding day priority, the best bridal hair accessories offer a fashionable upgrade to any look. Runways and social feeds offer ample fodder for inspiration, with ribbons, sparkle, and generally whimsical embellishments transforming everyday looks from pretty to downright romantic. If the goal is to take everyone’s breath away, even the most minimalist bride-to-be should consider accessorizing for the big day.
With so many options, finding that perfect piece to complement your bridal look can seem overwhelming—especially as you plan every little detail, from that memorable bouquet to your timeless wedding makeup. But whether you opt for loose, romantic waves, a bouncy blowout, or a soft (or slicked) updo, there’s a special accessory for you.
Those with a penchant for vintage glamour might select a birdcage veil, or opt for a carefully-selected embellished comb to elevate that bridal updo. A satin headband could add an air of sophistication to those leaning into modern elegance, while hair finished in ribbons brings a touch of sweetness. Meanwhile, diamanté or pearl-encrusted barrettes and tiaras help to make any bride feel like royalty. Essentially, a simple bridal hair accessory can transform hair into bridal hair.
Bridal Headbands
Headbands are here to stay, and this simple addition affords any look an air of sophistication. From timeless satin options to those lined with pearls and gemstones, headbands can be a seamless addition to your bridal hair—whether you wear your swept up into a loose updo, down to spill over shoulders, or somewhere in between. Jennifer Behr’s elegant headbands make any bridal look feel a touch more pretty and playful, while Lelet NY’s options bring plenty of sparkle. Plus, headbands serve a practical purpose too by keeping your hair out of your face.
