01 of 29

If you thought veils, flower crowns, and tiaras were the only headpiece options for brides, you're about to get some good news. Women have a number of different accessories to choose from when it comes to dressing up their big-day hairstyles, and the classic headpieces of generations past are far from required. While there are plenty of romantic and boho options out there, we have a soft spot for the trendsetting bride—which is why we've searched high and low for the modern hair accessories she'll want to wear.

Whether you decide to wear a veil or not, your wedding is a time to play with hair accessories like you never have before. And these contemporary pieces are a great way to give a romantic hairstyle a stylish edge or round-out your envelope-pushing wedding attire. Best of all, we tracked down hair accessories in a wide array of price points. If you're not looking to invest in something spendy, check out our gorgeous (and affordable!) picks from Zara, BHLDN, or David's Bridal. But if you have some money left in the budget and want to splurge, take a close look at pieces from designers like Lelet NY, Jennifer Behr, and even Gucci.

No matter what you're looking to spend, there's a cool, modern bridal headpiece out there for you. But what makes these picks fit the contemporary bill? Bold geometric shapes, sleek all-metal (hello chunky yellow gold) designs, and unexpected twists. Take Lelet NY's Trek Metal Halo for example: It's a fierce V-shaped gold piece that's meant for the back of your head, and the result is striking, simple, and ultra-elevated. You can also go slightly over-the-top with an all-metal rosette headband like Mordekai's. No matter which you choose, a sleek, stylish, and modern headpiece is the ultimate way to complete your bridal look. Click through to see our favorite modern hair accessories for brides.
