Five Veil Alternatives to Elevate Your Bridal Look

If a veil isn’t for you, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve gathered together our top alternatives from the UK’s best small brands.

Do you have to wear a veil at your wedding?

Of course you don’t! What you wear at your wedding is completely your choice. These days there are so many alternative hair accessories that will be just as impactful as veils. And, we just know that whatever you pick will be beautiful.

Five veil alternatives we love

1. Tiaras

If you want to feel like royalty on your big day, a tiara will help you to achieve that regal look. From colourful crystals to gold-plated garlands, we’ve got designs to suit everyone. After all, who doesn’t love wearing a bit of sparkle?

2. Flowers

Floral headpieces are a great option if you’re going for more of a rustic feel. Choose from floral headcrowns or pins with either faux or dried flowers. We love this alternative idea of a porcelain headband from small brand, Petal & Pearl Accessories. Stunning.

3. A cape or scarf

If you want to create some volume, a cape is a really striking alternative to a veil. Scarves can also be a great choice – especially if you’re planning an autumn or winter wedding. And, if you pick this beautiful silk scarf, it could even be your ‘something blue’.

4. Hair comb or clips

For a more subtle touch, try hair combs, pins or clips. These will be a really lovely close-up detail – especially for your wedding photos! You could even create a celestial vibe with a set of moon and star clips.

5. Bows

Bows might be trending right now but they’re a classic for a reason. And, that makes them a really timeless choice, as they never go out of style. Keep it traditional with a satin bow or make a statement with an oversized floral bow from small brand, Becci's Bridal Designs.
