Not every bride wants a traditional wedding veil. On the contrary, many are going with nontraditional options and choosing beautiful alternatives. Alternate options can be designed to match the floral color scheme, or they can be designed from metal and crystals that will coordinate any color or formal style. No matter the choice, the bride does not have to follow tradition. Some of the most beautiful weddings include nontraditional styles and accessories. Consider these alternatives to a traditional wedding veil, and wear what you want instead of a customary shroud of white tulle.
I recently began saving creative wedding ideas and sharing my favorites on Pinterest. Although I do not have current marriage plans, I enjoy looking and dreaming of what I want to wear when my boyfriend and I decide to get married. I have thought of a number of beautiful alternatives to a traditional wedding veil. They are ideal for absolutely anyone. It does not matter if a bride has been married before. The present is what matters the most, and any bride should be able to choose what she wants to wear on her special day.
Wear a Twisted Floral Crown Instead of a Traditional Veil
Some of the most beautiful alternatives to a traditional wedding veil can be found on Etsy. It is a site where crafters can display and sell their unique creations. When searching for alternatives to a traditional wedding veil, I found a beautiful floral crown that appears to be made of paper twist. As the first photo shows, it is beautifully embellished with faux pearls on wire stems and dusty blue blooms. It is one of my favorite alternatives to a traditional wedding veil, and it would be my first choice as a bride.
Jeweled Tiaras are Beautiful Alternatives
Another one of the most beautiful alternatives to a traditional wedding veil is a jeweled tiara. Before deciding that a tiara would look tacky and childish, take a look at the second photo. Narrow it down to dainty styles that include genuine Austrian crystals rather than cheap glass gems. Do not consider anything but quality materials when seeking alternatives to a traditional wedding veil. Accessories that are low in quality will likely appear cheap. Some of the most delicate tiaras are also the most eye catching and beautiful.
Wear a Floral Comb or Clips Instead of a Traditional Wedding Veil
When looking for striking alternatives to a traditional wedding veil, search for a floral comb like the one in the third photo. Floral clips are also an excellent choice. A skilled hairdresser can create a beautiful hairstyle that includes a floral comb or clip of your choice. A comb is lovely when used to gently pull the hair back on one or both sides. Clips can be used on the sides or in the back as the fourth photo shows.
Visit the photographer’s Etsy store for other options and ideas. A traditional veil is not expected or required. Like many others, I am not a fan of tradition, but I am an admirer of handmade items. Etsy is full of options for brides that want stunning alternatives to customary headgear.
