8 GORGEOUS ALTERNATIVES TO A BRIDAL VEIL

if you’re not one for keeping to traditions and the thought of a veil makes you cringe, then we’ve compiled eight gorgeous alternatives that are straight from runways around the world.

1. Hair Chain

Whether it’s the very glam, jewel encrusted head chains or those with a stone in the centre for a more bohemian look, hair chains are the latest trend in bridal headwear. Curls or waves work well with this stunning accessory.

2. Crowns

If you’re going for the princess look than a crown or a tiara is an absolute must. They are both versatile accessories that can be worn with hair up or down and will make you feel like royalty.
