While veils are absolutely lovely on everyone else, I just couldn’t find the right one for me. Perhaps it was my dress, but I tried on several, and nothing felt right. Instead, I chose a hair vine from Etsy that I wore on the back of my head to run up the sides of my loosely waved hair.

Whether you’re planning to skip the veil entirely or if you want another accessorized moment after the ceremony ends, here are a few bridal hair pieces that don’t involve long sweeping tulle or lace—from hair vines, pins, headbands and crowns.
