Baubles Galore

We all know that a wedding is grounds for the most elegant, most extravagant, most enchanting looks. After all, it's your Big Day, and the chance to create what could be one of the most memorable days of your life. Each stylistic choice is a reflection of your personality and sets the tone of the wedding, including your hair. Wedding hairstyles range from updos, curls, waves, afros, and short cuts, and a beautiful hairpiece or accessory can complement your hair and personal style. We looked to Instagram to find stunning inspirational photos.

Combs

A comb is a pretty way to create a clustered, intricate design. It’s a nice match for low buns swooped towards the back of your head or nestled in a half up, half down do. Not only is it a pretty accessory, but it can also help secure the hairstyle.

Clips

If your taste falls more into the retro category, an oversized hair clip may be the perfect nod to nostalgia, and if you find one studded with pearls or rhinestones it will keep the accessory elegant and fun. Those of us with mid-length hair know how essential a good clip is, so if you’re rocking a loose bun or want to sweep your hair in one direction, this is a good choice for you.

Pearls

Pearls are the unofficial sign of class and elegance. They are a timeless jewel that elevates any look instantly. If you are more of an avant-garde type of person, these clip-in pearl strands are a stunning way to mix "something old with something new." This caged look of multiple strands amplifies a simple ponytail.

Pins

Pins are an endless supply of sophisticated, creative designs. The decorative end can feature flowers, butterflies, pearls, hearts, initials — anything you can think of that speaks to your taste. What's even better is that pins can be worked into a wide variety of hairstyles and lengths.

Headbands

If simplicity is your style, a headband can do all of the heavy lifting that glamour requires. You can keep the look of it as low-key as you want, or go for an extravagant statement piece. Headbands are an opportunity to add texture, as they can be made with a chic fabric like velvet, artisanally beaded, or layered with hair chains.

Flowers

You can never go wrong with flowers, a decidedly soft and natural accessory. If you want to revamp the traditional take on having flowers at your wedding, consider weaving them through your hair. As a bonus, you can coordinate the flowers in your hair with your floral arrangements.

Glitter

For those who enjoy the spice in life, glitter is always an option for fun, magical looks, and the sparkles create a whimsical feeling. If you have a winter wedding, you can use glitter to mimic the look of a dusting of snow. Glitter can be used to accent parts of the hairstyle, such as the gathering of a ponytail or an intricate braiding pattern.

Fascinator

If you relish being the center of attention, fascinators are a dramatic, regal hairpiece that demand attention. They are typically a royal accessory, so you’ll definitely have a crown-like effect, especially since signature parts of fascinators are the asymmetrical design, veils and long feathers.

Bows

Another simple option are bows and ribbons, which are also a chance to explore the texture of different fabrics like silk, tulle or velvet. Half up, half down styles and updos are perfect choices for this accessory, and if your flower girls are wearing bows, then it would be super cute to match with them!
