Your headpiece is an essential part of your bridal theme and look. A crown can give you that princess look while the snood sits perfectly on the Updo hairstyle. In this article, the different headpieces are discussed.

Backpiece: A barrette or comb that fastens to the back of the head, to which the veil is then attached. The backpiece is often decorated with flowers, beads, or bows.

Bunwrap: Fairly self-explanatory, the bunwrap is a circular band that encircles a bun or updo.

Comb: As the name implies, this type of headpiece is held to the head with comb teeth for extra security. Can either be attached to a veil and worn on top of the head, or adorned with flowers and beads and used to cap off an upswept hairstyle.

Crown: Different from a tiara, a crown is a full circular piece that sits atop the head and is adorned with stones, gems, or beads.

Half Crown: Smaller than a crown, but greater in height than a tiara, the half crown is a half circle of jewels that sits atop the head.

Headband: A band of varying width that closely follows the shape of the head.

Juliet Cap: A small round cap that fits snugly on top of the head, usually decorated with pearls or semi-precious stones.

Snood: A knitted or openwork net that encases the hair at the back of the head.

Tapered Headband: A half-circle band worn on top of the head, characterized by a wider middle and tapered ends.

Tiara: A tiara is a jeweled or beaded semi-circle worn on top of the head.

Wreath: A romantic, organic look, the wreath -- also known as the "garland"-- features a full circle of flowers, twigs, foliage, and/or ribbon resting on the crown of the head.
