Headpiece

Why Choose It: Many women don’t feel fully bridal without a veil, a tiara, or some other adornment.

What to Consider: If you go the veil route, try on a variety of lengths and shapes with your gown to see what complements it best. (In general, longer veils are considered more formal and shorter ones have a slightly retro feel.) At www.veilshop.com, you can design your own veil in three clicks. Just choose your desired style, length, and trim. Tiaras, silk flowers, vintage combs, or pearl and crystal hairpins can also add a special touch. Find options at www.perfectdetails.com.
