Classic veils will always be stunning—but for brides looking to deviate from tradition, a chic hair accessory can seamlessly level up any wedding look. After all, there are times where a long veil isn’t quite the right fit with a dress or gown—especially for small or civil ceremonies. Thankfully, when it comes to crafting your bridal beauty statement, it can often be as easy as a change in accessories.
Whether it’s a hat, headband, or a jaw-dropping pin that will double as an embellishment post-wedding, consider your overall look when styling. Here, 15 unique wedding hair accessories to shop now.
