Your wedding-day look is almost complete, but it's just missing a certain finishing touch. We may be able to help. What about a gorgeous hair accessory? These little guys are known to give a major upgrade to any given hairstyle, not to mention they serve multiple purposes.
Aside from being totally beautiful, a chic hairpin (or comb) can keep loose strands tucked away from your face from ceremony to reception, which is something especially important for the long-haired brides out there. We totally understand that flowing waves are utterly gorgeous, but constantly flicking strands away is not. Are you rocking a shorter 'do? These little wonders can still add that something special to your overall look. Bohemian brides, try a detailed hair chain. For the romantics, an embellished floral hairpin will make guests swoon. And, for our minimalist brides, a tiny accessory can add major style.
Ready to find the perfect hair embellishment to fit your bridal style? Take a look through some of our favorite hair accessories fit for any bride and hairdo.

A humble ribbon can do so much for a bridal look. This pop of black adds a Parisian flair to the ensemble.
Play with the fabric, colors, and texture of your ribbon to custom-tailor it to your décor and style. A contrasting color can provide brightness, or you can opt to maintain a chic monochromatic look instead. Leather brings in edgy, runway-ready feels while burlap can tie in a rustic aesthetic.
