Bridal hair accessories are one of the most enjoyable elements to choose in your wedding day ensemble. Whereas finding the perfect dress can be a little stressful for some, after that task is done, it's on to the fun stuff!
Hair accessories, bridal jewellery, and other treats such as bridal belts, garters and bridesmaid gifts are the finishing touches which allow you to express your personal style and tastes to a tee.
Whether you're a boho bride, a classic bride, a vintage-inspired bride or a contemporary bride, there is a bridal hairstyle and plenty of bridal hair accessories to suit.
Here we curate the best examples of each bridal style, and illustrate which styles of bridal hair accessories make the best match.
1. The Boho Bride
Relaxed, romantic whimsy describe your chosen bridal style! Whether you're set to tie the knot in a beautiful countryside idyll, or you're bare-footed on the sand, you'll want a soft and flowing bridal hairstyle with a light and delicate bridal hair accessory to match! Lightly wired bridal hair pins, and delicate hair combs with crystals and freshwater pearls are your go-to's.

2. The Classic Bride -
Elegance and class describe the bridal style of a classic bride. Not one to make a daring fashion statement on your wedding day, your bridal ensemble is more traditional than trendy. Chic upstyles, and polished downstyles are the hallmarks of a classic bride. Look for medium-sized bridal hair accessories with a slight vintage twist, and clean lines.

3. Vintage-Inspired Bride -
The vintage-inspired bride loves the feel of yesteryear, whether that's the 40's, the Art Deco period or earlier! Intricate lace dresses, beautifully delicate beading and ornate bridal jewellery are the hallmarks of the more vintage bride. More recent vintage brides opt for the look of old Hollywood, with luscious fingerwaves and dazzling earrings offset with corseted bodices and a shiny red lip.

4. Modern & Contemporary Brides -
Modern and contemporary brides tend to a less-is-more approach to bridal wear and bridal accessories. Favouring gowns in clean silk or satin, the modern bride does away with beads, crystals, lace and other embellishments. For her bridal jewellery and bridal hair accessories, modern brides love simple, unadorned pearls, sparkling cubic zirconias and metallic finishes.
