Whether you’re a bohemian, modern, or traditional bride, hair accessories instantly elevate your look while tying it all together.A good bridal hair accessory is transformative, especially if you opt for simple jewelry and shoes that won’t be seen from under your dress. And whatever your bridal hairstyle, whether you plan for an elegant updo, beachy waves, or a sleek blowout, your hair accessory can take your ‘do from special occasion to bridal in one fell swoop.Bridal hairstylist, Paul Labrecque of the eponymous Manhattan salon and spa, notes that “updo styles, ponytails, and bangs in particular can easily incorporate a gorgeous hair accessory or two for your big day.” He notes that brides can take inspiration from celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Taylor Swift, who use hair accessories exceptionally well.

To help you find the best bridal hair accessories to complete your look, we researched a variety of options, evaluating each based on type, material, embellishments, and how they complement different bridal hairstyles. We’re particularly loving ultra-feminine options like bows that capture a coquette aesthetic; the romantic style has roots in the Rococo period but is seeing a resurgence on TikTok as of late (and it’s perfect for brides). Ahead, you’ll find plenty of bows, crystals, pearls, and other romantic touches for your hair. Check out these editor-approved hair accessories, which will help you dazzle from head to toe.

We’re swooning over this handsewn piece that captures trending coquette style gorgeously. It’s fashioned from lightweight tulle, which offers “natural, ribbon-like movement,” and features a French barrette clip closure.

Nobody does bows like Jennifer Behr. Lustrous silk-satin gives the piece elegant texture and the French barrette clip closure keeps your ‘do in place. We are fans of the cream shade to complement a variety of muted tones.

The silhouette of this ivory velvet Lele Sadoughi headband, hand-embellished with faux pearls, helps to create a comfortable fit, gently sweeping hair away from the face. We love the pearl detailing, which adds just the right amount of luster to your bridal hairstyle.

Don’t be afraid to dance the night away with this crystal headband—it’s been designed to stay in place comfortably and securely. We love the Swarovski crystal-detailing and the architectural design for extra-dimensional sparkle.

This headband is graceful and simplistic, and features floral accents, faceted with crystals. The fine headband base disappears into the hair.

This padded satin headband features a delicate mesh veil. We love it for an additional look or brides looking to forego the traditional veil. This piece has an heirloom aesthetic while being edgy in conception, and that tension only adds to its spectacular design element.

Classic and delicate, this pin set features pearls of different sizes and shapes, so you can incorporate as many or as few as you'd like into your hairstyle. We love how these work as accent pieces, especially with the unique shape variation.

For a look that serves Aphrodite, this bridal comb combines crystal embellished starfish and fresh water pearls ideal for a destination or beach wedding.

We love the sprays of hand-wired navette crystals to add sparkle to a wide range of bridal hairstyles. This pieces is flexible, so it makes styling extra easy. You can choose from a 14 karat gold or silver plate.

The oversized rosette hair ties are an excellent choice for an easy French twist or low pony styles.

FAQ

  • What is the best hair accessory to use for an updo?

    "I love to use pins to twist hair up and lock it in place. U pins are my favorite," notes Labrecque.

  • What is the best hair accessory to wear with your hair down?

    "The bow trend was huge this year. Wearing one half back is a cool way to hold one side of your hair back. Many celebrities have done this well," says Labrecque. "This was also the year of the wide-knotted headband. It was seen everywhere and gives a great illusion of height to the hair."

  • What hair accessory do you use with bangs?

    "I adore pins in bangs. They keep them where we want the bang to sit and look so fresh," says Labrecque.

  • How do you coordinate your hair accessory with your bridal look?

    When searching for the ideal piece, try to coordinate styles and find something that will beautifully complement your dress. You'll also want to take your wedding venue and overall theme or aesthetic into consideration. For instance, if you're throwing a black-tie affair during winter, sparkling hair pins are more fitting than a flower crown. For classic brides, a headband or tiara with pearls is a timeless choice andpairs nicely with veils of all lengths. Boho lovers should consider hair vines and clips with blossoms or branch motifs, while sculptural pieces in gold or silver suit ultra-modern and minimalist tastes.
