Whether you’re styling your dream bridal updo or keeping things loose and romantic, your hair accessory is the finishing touch that pulls the whole look together. But with so many bridal hair accessories to choose from—combs, clips, pins, tiaras, headbands—it can be hard to know which one is right for you.
In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of bridal hair accessories, what suits each wedding style and hairstyle, and how to choose the perfect piece to complete your look.
Types of Bridal Hair Accessories
Tiaras
Tiaras add instant royalty. Whether you’re going full princess or just want a hint of sparkle, they bring height and elegance to any look.
Best for: Classic, fairytale, formal or traditional weddings
Suits: Pretty much everything—hair up, down, or half up
Tip: Pair with simple drop earrings to balance the sparkle without overpowering your look.
Sparkly Headbands
These beaded or embellished styles sit flat to the head like a traditional headband but deliver the same glitz as a tiara—just in a sleeker profile.
Best for: Modern or minimalist brides who still want some shimmer
Suits: All hairstyles—updos, loose curls, Hollywood waves
Tip: Great for short hair too, or anyone who wants subtle structure with sparkle.
Padded Fabric Headbands
A trendier, fashion-forward option, padded headbands add volume and a couture feel, especially in luxe satins or textured fabrics.
Best for: Chic city weddings, modern bridal looks, civil ceremonies
Suits: Sleek styles—low buns, polished waves, smooth ponytails
Tip: Let the headband be the statement and keep jewellery minimal.
Hair Combs
Bridal combs are one of the most versatile options and come in all styles—from dainty to dramatic.
Best for: Romantic, boho, classic, or vintage-inspired weddings
Suits: Hair up or half-up styles; needs structure to slot in securely
Tip: Part your hair and secure the comb on one side for soft glamour, or tuck it into an updo.
Hair Clips
Often overlooked, clips are actually one of the easiest accessories to place—and they grip well in all hair types.
Best for: Modern, minimal, or vintage themes depending on the design
Suits: Hair down or side-swept waves, especially with crocodile-style clips
Tip: Choose a set of two and wear one on each side for balance, or stack them for impact.
Hair Pins
Pins can be scattered delicately through a bun or styled as a cluster—making them ideal for building a soft, romantic look.
Best for: Soft, whimsical, romantic, or garden weddings
Suits: Hair up or half-up styles; needs some structure to anchor the pins
Tip: Use multiples for more impact and a floral-like effect.
Hair Vines
Hair vines are flexible and can be worn in multiple ways: across the top like a headband, twisted into braids, or wrapped around a bun.
Best for: Boho, romantic, or vintage vibes
Suits: Almost everything—braids, updos, down styles
Tip: Want two looks in one day? Wear it as a headband for your ceremony, then wrap it around your bun for the evening.
