If you’re not the typical bridal couple, a long veil and a sparkly tiara just may not be for you. But that doesn’t mean you don’t want some kind of hair adornments to perk up your everyday hairstyle. Check out these options here.

BROOCH

Do you have a brooch that your mother, aunt or grandmother used to wear? It’s easy to turn it into a barrette with a few bobby pins! Use it to accessorize a soft up-do, or to decorate your already funky hair.

HATS

A small pillbox hat, or something artfully shaped with mesh, can add a touch of whimsy to your wedding look. Or, for the butch bride, find a hat that fits well with your suit and its time period, as this bride did above.

HEADBANDS

Soft ribbon headbands with some embellishment, such as rhinestones or feathers, are very popular right now and work for half-up, completely down or simple updos. This style on Charlize Theron is naturally messy, making it soft and pretty.

FLOWERS

Putting flowers in your hair has such a romantic feel, whether you’re going for a more natural look, as pictured here, or you want a one simple bud to adorn a shorter, pixie haircut. Use fresh buds or silk—you won’t have to worry about these wilting.
