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.

3. Bridal Turbans

A modern way to inject some exoticism into your bridal look, the turban can be bohemian or glamorous, depending on the type of headpiece you opt for!

4. Hair Jewels

Hair jewels are generally attached to bobby pins and are perfect for the girls who prefer more of a subtle alternative, giving your guests glimpses of sparkle when you turn your head.

8. Flower Garlands

A flower garland is the perfect accessory for the boho-chic bride, especially when fresh flowers are used. They work especially well with flowing dresses and garden or beach-side weddings.
