Veil
-
The veil is the most common and traditional form of a bridal headpiece. A veil, however, can still mean many different things. Veils come in a variety of styles, colors and designs. A cathedral length veil cascades to the floor and trails behind the bride in a dramatic and classic presentation, while a blusher has a vintage look and only covers the top of the face of the bride. There are also varieties of veils that are in between. Veils can cover to the shoulders or to the center of the back as well, depending on the brides preference. The veil can be attached to a comb, a clip or even a hat. Beading, rhinestones or even lace could also adorn the veil, for an added touch of glitz or for a hint of vintage.
Tiara
-
A tiara gives a glamorous touch that befits the look of a princess style bride. The tiara is worn typically on the crown of the head and can be as simple or elaborate as the bride desires. Most tiaras are adorned with sparkling crystals; however, colored gemstones can also add a burst of color and elegance. The tiara can be worn in addition to the veil or it can stand alone.

Flowers
-
Flowers can offer an exotic look, a vintage look or even a look of innocence and purity, depending on the style. Large, tropical style flowers will be suitable for a bride having a beach wedding or an island themed wedding while a simple flower, such as a daisy, can give the bride a look of simple girlish innocence. A simple rose in the bride's hair can give her a vintage look, especially when combined with a blusher veil or fitted cap. The flowers can be attached to a comb, a clip or even a headband.
Hat
-
Small fitted hats or caps offer a chic and vintage look to the bridal ensemble. These hats, similar in style to pillbox hats, can also often have a blusher style veil attached to them, which adds to their vintage appeal. The hat is typically made out of a white fabric that coordinates with the color of the veil as well as the dress.
