5 Trending Bridal Hair Accessories for 2025

After nailing down your dream dress, the perfect pair of shoes and perhaps a bauble or two, picking out wedding hairstyle accessories might be the last thing you want to do. However, a simple headband or barrette can be the one thing that really takes your look up a notch, and let's be real—this is your wedding day, after all. To keep things simple, we're bringing you a breakdown of the top 5 bridal hair accessory trends to keep on your radar so that polishing off your wedding-day look will be a total breeze.

1. Big Bows

Just when we thought they couldn't get any bigger (in size and popularity), bows continued to make their way down the runways—on dresses, on gloves, on shoes, and yes, in hair. Minimalist brides will love the simple, silky iterations that seamlessly tie around a ponytail, while those looking to make a statement will have plenty of embellished, over-the-top options to reach for. No matter which iteration you choose, this charming trend is sure to add a timeless yet fun touch to any bridal style.

2. Floral Details

While florals may not sound like the most revolutionary bridal hair accessory trend, 2025's iterations are fresher than ever. From bold, oversized rosettes on headbands and barrettes to pearlescent bobby pins designed to be scattered throughout loose strands, next year's brides will be embracing blooms like we've never seen before.

3. Pearls On Pearls

Pearls are a go-to jewelry choice thanks to their timeless elegance, so incorporating them into a sleek wedding-day updo or loose half-up, half-down look simply makes sense. Whether lining a satin headband, clustered on a glistening, heirloom–worthy comb or cascading down a floaty tulle bow, there are endless ways to make the pearl trend your own.

4. Maximalist Voilettes

The headband veil, the birdcage veil, the blusher veil—no matter what you call it, it's safe to say the voilette (French for "face veil") is officially back in business. While few wedding accessories feel more classic than a traditional veil, this vintage-inspired alternative allows for a similar look with a lot less fuss. There's also an iteration to suit every bride, whether that means a barely there headband or a maximalist, floral-adorned option.

5. Double The Diamonds

The more, the merrier. This maximalist trend focuses on sparkling, over-the-top bridal hair accessories that almost feel like an extension of your jewelry, from full-blown tiaras to crystal-embellished combs, clips and more. We have a feeling even the minimalist brides will go for this one, because honestly—what better time to make a statement than on your wedding day?

Hair accessories for your wedding day don't have to be over-the-top. Case in point? The following bridal hair clips and pins. From elevated yet easy claw clips to dainty baubles that add just a hint of sparkle, these picks are the perfect way to subtly play up your bridal hairstyle.

How to Choose Hair Accessories for Your Wedding

When it comes to styling your dream bridal look, choosing the right hair accessories can elevate your overall appearance and make you feel like a true bride. Whether you want to give Hollywood starlet or boho charm on your big day, here are some expert tips to help you choose the best hair accessory for your upcoming nuptials. Prioritize comfort and trust your instincts to select the one that makes you feel confident and beautiful on your special day.

1. You don't need to choose between a veil and a headpiece

Yes, you can wear a wedding veil and a hair accessory on your wedding day. Maria Elena Headpieces, for instance, designs their pieces to be purposefully veil-friendly, allowing brides to achieve their dream bridal look with ease. According to Annia Lopez, "When a Maria Elena bride chooses to wear a crown, the veil can be elegantly positioned either over or under the crown, depending on the bride's personal preference." Similarly, Lopez explains that when you opt for a hair comb, the bridal veil can be worn over or under it, ensuring a seamless and beautiful combination. The brand has even created specialized veil comb covers in response to their brides' requests for a solution to conceal the solid silver comb.

2. Consider your dress style and chosen hairstyle

Del Busto suggests considering your dress style and chosen hairstyle before selecting your hair accessory. "Consider your dress style and chosen hairstyle, and ensure that the metal of your accessories matches that of your jewelry to reflect your personality," she says. The accessory should complement your gown and hairstyle to create a cohesive and harmonious look. Lopez suggests checking out their informative veil guide videos, like this one, available on Maria Elena's TikTok.

3. Pick your hair accessories before your hair trial

Choosing your hair accessories before your hair trial can help you visualize your final bridal look, according to Del Busto. Experiment with different styles, such as wedding tiaras, hair combs, crowns, clips or headbands, to see which one enhances your features and complements your dress.

4. Prioritize comfort and trust your instincts

On your special day, comfort is key. Select a hair accessory that not only looks beautiful but also feels comfortable when worn. "Prioritize comfort and trust your instincts to select the one that makes you feel confident and beautiful on your special day," says Del Busto. Remember, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and your hair accessory should make you shine with main character energy.
