Alternatives To The Veil

Increasingly brides are choosing to veer away from the traditional veiled white wedding, and instead pick unusual and striking headpieces and hair clips. Perhaps we're being more frugal, investing in accessories we can use again, rather than just for the special day, or maybe it's the desire to make your wedding day more memorable. Whatever the reason, here are some great alternatives to inspire your choice;

Add something blue to your wedding day with these dainty peacock eye clips, they're colourful but not overbearing and will keep you look remaining elegant. They are available at LucyohLucy on Etsy.

For a natural or outdoor wedding, try wearing a garland of flowers from StudioWedByMirela . Also perfect for festival weddings and a hippy vibe.

Vintage weddings look no further than a 20's style flapper hairband, crystal and feathers always look glamourous but when placed on a headband don't look overly glitzy. You can purchase this band at YJDesign on Etsy

For the alternative bride, look to Janie Basil retro headpiece designer extraordinaire, she embroiders all her headpieces herself, and can even incorporate your loved ones name.
