The veil is very much a significant part of every bride's total outfit ensemble for the wedding day. So too are hair accessories that hold the veil in place or sometimes even replace the veil as the hair adornment of choice.

In most instances, brides-to-be can make use of the hair accessories provided by the makeup and hairstylist. However, many are now also opting to purchase tiaras, pins and the like, as after the wedding, these accessories become sentimental keepsakes as well as heirlooms for future generations. Other than the makeup and hair stylists, couples can also visit specialty and department stores that stock a range of such items. Of late, small scale artisans have also taken to designing and locally producing hair accessories using imported raw materials.

A couple of tips :

• Your choice of hair accessory should match and complement your bridal gown. An intricate tiara may be suited to a simpler gown whereas an elaborate gown is best enhanced by a simpler headpiece.
  
• Request that your hairstylist perform a trial hairdo using the accessory you have selected to see the effect.
  
• Some pieces will be more costly than others. Most importantly, ensure that you do not compromise on quality as it is after all one of the biggest days of your life.
