Tiaras are the perfect accessory for both long and short hair and come in a huge choice of styles and colours. They also work equally well whether you have your hair up or leave it down. Tiaras that are shaped to the head are often easier to wear, but get some hairgrips ready to keep your tiara in place all day.
If you're going to wear your hair up, hairpins and coronets are a pretty alternative. An elegant chignon will look glam dressed up with some diamanté hairpins, while a coronet looks best when the hair is gathered up and the coronet is around it.
Fresh flowers always look beautiful in your hair, but you do need to choose your blooms carefully. It's going to be a long day and, particularly in hot weather, some flowers wilt more quickly than others. One option is to wear fresh flowers in your hair during the wedding ceremony then switch to a clip-in fake flower afterwards. Ask your florist for advice on what to choose.
For a more contemporary look, it's worth thinking about hats and fascinators. A white hat in any style will look great with a trouser suit or high-collar wedding dress. Feather fascinators - somewhere between a tiara and a headdress - are a great look for brides who want something chic but different.
