Bridal Headpieces and Accessories

Often planning the outfit for a wedding day involves more than a wedding gown. Headwear and accessories can add personal style and disctinction to the bridal ensemble. Veils, tiaras, flowers and hairpins range in variety, size and character. You may only want a subtle detail to complement your dress, or you may be looking to for a special flavor to make the outfit.

There are many options for wedding veils, should you decide to wear one in your ceremony. Not only are there different styles of veils to choose from, the length of the offerings also varies greatly. It's important to do your research and try out your options. If possible, it's convenient to buy your veil at the same time as your dress to make sure the size and style work for you.

Cathedral Veil: the longest option; It extends down from your head, and stretches nine feet or more. This can be a great addition to any wedding dress as long as you feel comfortable wearing it and your wedding is in a location where it won't be a nuisance.

Chapel Veil: also a long veil, this one is slightly easier to manage as it extends only to the floor.

Fingertip Veil: as the name implies, this veil goes to your fingertips.

Elbow Veil: this style drops down to your elbows.

Flyaway Veil: a shoulder-length style veil.

Blusher Veil: a style that drapes just over the face.

You may prefer a tiara over a veil. Tiaras can be small or high enough to extend off the head. Picking out the tiara with your dress, as with the veil, is the easiest way to be certain the style will work for you.

Wearing flowers in your hair can be a simple way to accessorize if you don't want to go the route of a veil or full headdress. Professional hair stylists often have great suggestions for incorporating flowers into the hairstyle you choose. Your florist may also coordinate with your stylist to find something perfect.
