From sparkling tiaras to boho headbands, hair accessories are one of the easiest ways to personalize your wedding look. Here's a simple bridal hair accessories guide to help you choose.
Tiara: timeless and elegant
A tiara sits toward the front of the head and suits classic and ballgown styles. It works beautifully with sleek updos, half-up styles and soft waves.
Crown: full-circle statement
A crown is taller and goes all the way around, giving a regal, fairytale look. Crowns are also a favorite for flower girls.
Headband: modern and easy
Jeweled headbands are comfortable, easy to wear all day and perfect for loose hair, short hair or a relaxed, modern wedding.
For boho, garden or woodland weddings, a gold branch-style headband adds a natural touch.
Which accessory suits your hairstyle?
- High bun or chignon: tiara.
- Half-up, half-down: tiara or headband.
- Loose waves: headband or delicate crown.
- Short hair: headband.
How to keep it secure all day
- Bring your accessory to your hair trial.
- Ask your stylist to add a small braid or bobby-pin "anchor" where the accessory sits.
- Use pins that match your hair color through the side loops.
- Do a quick "dance test" before you leave.
Matching the bridal party
Choose a coordinated look: a tiara for the bride, simple headbands for bridesmaids and mini crowns for flower girls.
FAQ
Can I wear a tiara with a veil?
Yes. Place the veil comb behind the tiara so both stay visible.
Should my hair accessory match my jewelry?
Keep the same metal tone and similar stones for a cohesive look.
Are headbands comfortable for a long day?
Most are. Choose a flexible band and try it on for an hour before the wedding.
