Four headwear options for the modern bride
As a modern bride, you want your wedding outfit to represent exactly who you are. No matter how you’re hoping to celebrate your day, having the perfect headpiece is crucial to look beautiful, make a statement, and feel empowered as you walk down the aisle.
With so many stunning accessories to choose from, picking just one can be tough. To help you make this big decision, we share some of our favourite bridal headwear pieces in this guide.
Statement barrettes
So in love that you want to shout it from the rooftops? Opting to wear a statement barrette is a wonderful way to express your joy and declare your commitment to your spouse-to-be. These wordy hair accessories are becoming increasingly popular among fashionable nearly-weds – choose a clip that spells ‘MRS’ or ‘BRIDE’ for a fun, modern look.
Bohemian flower crown
A flower crown is the perfect accessory for a free-spirited bride, and depending on the style you choose, it works well for both lavish and low-key affairs. For a bohemian feel, choose a crown of dried wildflowers. Not only will preserved flowers feel more rustic, but they’ll also be far more sustainable than fresh flowers. Plus, you’ll be able to keep your everlasting blooms for years to come.
Oversized ribbons and bows
While ribbons and bows are timeless accessories, oversized styles in different colours and fabrics are very in keeping with current trends. Choose a blue bow to make a statement with your ‘something blue’. Or, upcycle your style with second-hand satin or silk as a way to honour generations past – you could even source fabric from a loved one’s bridal outfit, to act as your ‘something borrowed’.
The perfect veil
You don’t have to wear a veil for your wedding ceremony – and many brides choose not to – but choosing to sport this traditional headpiece can help to create an elegant look. Since single-tier veils have become one of the more popular options in modern times, opting instead for a floor-length piece that covers your face will look unique and feel unexpected.
Confident, inspiring and stylish
All brides want to look and feel their best on their wedding day, and choosing an outfit that you love and feels true to your vision is one of the best ways to achieve that. The modern bride is confident, inspiring, and of course, stylish – and each of these qualities should be reflected in her choice of headwear.
For a top tip, remember that being a modern bride is all about breaking the rules (if you want to). Wear just one headpiece, or go all out and wear multiple if you wish. Or, opt for a simple veil, and save the embellished barrettes, bows, or flower crown for your bachelorette party or rehearsal dinner. There are plenty of occasions to wear these stunning pieces – just be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to plan your outfits, so you don’t miss out on wearing all of your dream hair accessories.
