This versatile accessory is a perfect accent. It can enhance most hairstyles, from classic to ornate. It can be simple, but elegant, depending on how it is decorated, but can also create a less formal look than some other headpieces. Hair combs can also be worn as backpieces, at the back of the head or close to the nape. Secure one under a bunch of upswept curls, around a French twist, or beneath a low-set bun.

Barrettes |
|
|
|
If you want people to focus on your hair and not your headpiece, you can skip the veil altogether and use barrettes or small combs instead. These can be as simple or ornamental as you like, ranging from natural to embellished with flowers, pearls, beads, crystals, or rhinestones. |

Bun Wraps, Halos and Wreaths |
|
|
|
Bun wraps, halos, and wreaths are all ring-shaped headpieces. Wreaths are made of roses or other flowers, while bun wraps and halos consist of rhinestones, crystals, pearls, beading or other adornments. Like most headpieces, you can wear them with or without a veil. Bun wraps surround a bun or a structured updo. Halos can be worn around a bridal updo like the bun wrap, around upswept curls or atop short hair. You can wear a wreath in a similar fashion or even down across your forehead.

Tiaras and Crowns |
|
|
|
Tiaras and crowns are regal and thus appropriate for formal weddings (although they can complement any gown, hairstyle or veil). They range from tiny, delicate pieces meant to surround a small bun, to larger, more ornately decorated items fit for a princess or queen. Simpler tiaras and crowns work well with a veil. When accented with pearls, rhinestones, or crystals, they can stand alone without a veil. A sparkly crown or tiara also helps accent your hairstyle, complement your jewelry, and draw attention to your face. |
