Dare we say it’s our favorite week of the entire year? What’s not to love about getting to fawn over some truly gorgeous gowns, and getting a sneak peek at all of the upcoming wedding dress trends brides will surely be rocking in 2020. But there’s more than just dream dress inspiration walking the runways at Bridal Fashion Week.

This season, we also got a preview of the wedding hair accessory trends that’ll be everywhere in 2020.

If your date is set for next year, listen up brides! These new wedding hair accessory trends are just the place to start when it comes to choosing your wedding hairstyle for the big day. We spied gauzy Juliet veils at Reem Acra and bold, floppy hats at Willowby by Watters. And just like the dainty floral appliqués that have been trending on wedding dresses, 3-D floral hair accessories seem to be very in this season.

Ready to see all of our favorite wedding hair accessory trends from Spring 2020’s Bridal Fashion Week? Maybe one of these will be the finishing touch to your very own wedding day look!

Big, Bold Headbands

Calling Blair Waldorf! These big, bold headbands are wholly bridal thanks to glamorous details like pearl embellishments and shiny studs. They can instantly elevate any wedding hairstyle into something unmistakably cool and unforgettable.

3-D Florals

Like the 3-D floral appliqués cascading down the skirts of wedding dresses, 3-D florals were also adorning the tresses of the models walking the runways at Bridal Fashion Week. Fresh and fun, these hair accessories just scream springtime. Willowby by Watters featured these funky florals on kitschy headbands, while the new Blush by Hayley Paige collection showed them freely floating through hair. Either way, consider these the new flower crowns!

Barrettes

Barrettes for brides? Yes, please! The ’90s hair accessory staple has gotten a wedding-worthy makeover, thanks to a dose of sparkle and delicate detailing. These little baubles are just the thing to hold your hair out of your face for that perfect half-up, half-down wedding hairstyle.

Hats

Hats off to this trend! While it may seem like an unexpected hair accessory for a wedding, we’re obsessed with this fashion-forward look. Try a wide-brimmed straw hat for nuptials inspired by the French countryside, or a floppy black hat for an indie boho/rock star look.

Circlets

With a whimsical, Renaissance-esque vibe, circlets are also capturing brides’ attention. We love them for a summer woodland wedding—or perhaps even a Game of Thrones–inspired bash!
