These Hair Accessories Will Make Any Wedding Outfit Look So Much Better

Hair accessories, like floral garments, have cemented their place within the occasionwear realm. Remember the plush-velvet-headband trend in 2019? Or the oversized pearl hair clip? They’ve now firmly settled into the wedding guest market.

Once your wedding outfit is finalised, it’s all about the finer details, and hair accessories work well to add intrigue and exuberance. The small (albeit mighty) accessory has the power to pull an outfit together. Long gone are the days when fascinators were the singular accessory choice for weddings. Now there’s something for all, whether you’re looking for an accessory to integrate into your hairstyle or you want something to be the star feature.

Unlike many other styles of dressing, occasionwear is overtly intentional. You’ll want the light to beckon each jewelled shimmer and headwear to be over-pronounced and bold. If you’re fashioning a braided style, you may opt for clips, and if your style is free-flowing, pinned tresses always look elegant on long and short hair. This is the time to go all out, so wear a floral garland or a padded crown.

There’s no better way to prettify an outfit (not that wedding guest attire much needs prettifying), but it’s all in the subtle but deliberate details. Keep scrolling for some beautiful hair accessories. 

FABRIC HAIR BOWS

The deep-rose hue and velvet fabrication will juxtapose neutral-coloured slip dresses in the most magical way.

The free-flowing ribbon calls for a high ponytail or bun.

The bigger the bow, the better.

Frame your fringe hair around your face, and pull the rest of your hair back with this gorgeous olive hair tie.

PEARL SLIDES

This long hair slide will keep a parted hairstyle in place. It's also lovely on short hair.

Pearl clips look wonderful stacked on top of one another.

This chunky pearl barrette-style clip is beautiful. I can't see a look it wouldn't suit.

Perfect if you're wearing your hair down. Even better in pairs.

CELESTIAL HAIR COMBS

Pearls and stars make the best combination.

This comb also works on top of a low bun.

HAIRPINS

An organic accessory that works in unison with updos.

Perfect for wearing your hair half-up, half-down.

FLORAL HAIRPINS

Whimsical dressing is always a nod to romance.

Real dried flowers! You can't get much more romantic.

JEWELLED CROWNS

RESIN BARRETTES

This works equally well with relaxed or polished hairstyles.

A marbled resin slide will go with most outfit styles.

CLAW CLIPS

I have this clip, and it goes with everything from occasions to beach days.

Simplicity works wonders with a pared-back outfit.

PADDED HEADBANDS

Olive green looks great with pearls and gold jewellery.

This plaited crown is striking against all hair types.

This looks just as stunning in real life. Wear your hair back, and let the ruching do all of the talking.

This works for brides and guests alike. The champagne hue will make any hair colour pop.

RUFFLED SCRUNCHIES

Malleable scrunchies made from fabric remnants are best for keeping thick hair in place on the day.

There's no more appropriate time for organza than wedding season.
