Cool-girl alternatives to traditional veils

Despite what you might think, headbands continue to reign supreme in the eyes of those most fashionable, even on their big day. This particular crochet Prada option is dreamier than ever and would make the perfect accessory for any bride-to-be who is thinking of tying the knot somewhere sunny or on the beach.

Feeling like a queen on your big day is obviously a no-brainer, making this dainty flower and pearl-beaded crown an absolute must. This would look ultra chic with a set of dainty pearl earrings and a dress with minimal pearl accents.

Worn by our February cover star at her London Civil Ceremony, the Ribbon Bow Veil from Gigi & Olive is a cool-girl twist on the traditional veil. Handmade in London from soft tulle and adorned with a statement satin bow, this short veil option is as elegant as it it gets. 

In my humble opinion, you can never have enough bows, especially on your wedding day. This pearl-adorned beret from Jennifer Behr is a bold statement without being overbearing, however, if you're that way inclined you could add multiple to really add emphasis.

The perfect blend between chic and eclectic, this ruffled fishnet face veil tiara is a nod to 1890s bridal fashion with a fun modern twist. Style with your hair pinned back in a bun or with a sleek cut short bob and enjoy the touch of mystery.

The pillbox hat is synonymous with 50s and 60s style and was made fashion famous by the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy. Though a statement silhouette in its own right, wearing a pillbox hat to your wedding might just be the coolest thing you can do, especially when it's adorned with white beading and a giant satin bow. I'm imagining this particular option with a sleek suiting look.

As far as alternative veil options go, this Pucci double hair clip with multiple dangling silver chains is amongst the elite. Subtle yet overly cool, this jewellery accent would make for the most amazing accompaniment to any bride wanting something cool-girl-approved. 

Oversized scrunchies in all forms have flooded the hair accessory world in recent months, with famed faces and cool girls alike adopting the "bigger is better" statement. Thankfully, just because it's your wedding day it doesn't mean you need to be without your emotional support scrunchie. This structured square silk organza style will offer a statement finish to an up-do.

Embellished with dainty flower appliques in navy blue, this ethereal tulle head scarf is the ultimate addition to any colour-loving bride's look. I imagine it tied under the neck just like Audrey Hepburn in Charade and paired with a set of cat eye sunglasses for in between the ceremony and reception. 

If you're set to walk down the aisle in the near future and the last thing on your priority list is your hair, a simple ponytail cuff or barrette in a dreamy metal finish might be for you. Think of it as a simple statement that won't take away from your dress or makeup.
