Dreaming of an enchanted forest wedding straight out of a fairy tale? You’ll love these ethereal accessories fit for a woodland nymph! The right hair accessories and jewellery can instantly transform you from traditional bride to spellbinding fairy queen - after all, a magical woodland setting deserves a magical bridal look! Here's my pick of the best bridal accessories for an enchanted forest fairy wedding. 

Floral Crowns and Headbands

Floral crowns are the quintessential accessory for a fairytale bride. For an enchanted forest fairy wedding choose an intricate floral or leafy crown made from crystals or metallics that will catch the sunlight streaming through the trees and sparkle and shine in the magical glow of fairy lights and candles as the sun sets.

 

Choose natural forms to fit with the setting and add delicate touches of colour for an extra element of forest fairy magic.

Coraline crown

A sparkling crystal headpiece like my Coraline crown will create a beautiful fairy queen look while the minimal leafy styling of the Amelia crown with its delicate tendrils and simple gold or silver plated sculpted vines add a delicate woodland nymph look with a modern contemporary edge.

Hair Pins

If you prefer subtle styling, hair pins are an excellent choice. These small accessories can be strategically placed in a loose, romantic updo or scattered throughout soft waves or plaits to add a touch of sparkle or simple shine.

Libby hair pins worn with Amelia crown

From simple crystal star hair pins to floral or leafy styles, hair pins are a versatile way to create your own unique hair accessory style and can be used to add a simple, natural element to your look, as if you’ve been showered with flowers or stardust.

Star hair pins

Choose from sparkling crystals or the subtle glow of delicate carved mother of pearl flowers or freshwater pearls depending on your bridal and personal style.

Daisy hair pins

For a more delicate elfin look the Libby leafy hair pins will add a magical finishing touch.

Leafy Hair Vines and Twigs

For a truly forest-inspired look, consider incorporating accessories inspired by botanical leafy vines or twigs.

A delicate gold or silver vine winding over or through your hair will add a natural, whimsical forest fairy element to your hair and is suitable for any style from long loose waves to a pixie cut, from braids to a half up half down hair style or romantic updo.

Sylvie hair vine

Twig or branch-inspired crowns will also add a more minimal or rustic element to your forest fairy look.

Celestial Headpieces and Earrings

Channel the magic of the starry night sky by incorporating celestial hair accessories or earrings into your enchanted forest wedding look.

Larissa hair vine

From constellation inspired earrings, hairpins and vines to crowns and tiaras, a star-encrusted accessory will mimic the sparkle of the night sky to create a dreamy, otherworldly vibe which is perfect for an evening ceremony or party.

Nature-Inspired Earrings

Your earrings should complement your hair accessories without overpowering them.

Neve earrings

Delicate dangling earrings with nature-inspired leaf, floral or celestial elements will add a whimsical woodland touch - or a statement set of earrings can be an alternative to a headpiece or can create a new look for an evening celebration.

Pearls will reflect the soft, ethereal light of your enchanted forest setting and long drops or slim delicate hoops add to the whimsical style.

Delicate Necklace

If you have a low neckline or strapless gown, a necklace can be a great finishing touch. If you’re wearing a headpiece you’ll probably want to choose a simple delicate necklace that complements any other jewellery you’re wearing like earrings or a headpiece. A delicate chain with a simple pearl is a classic and natural addition to your look. You could even layer necklaces with charms or sentimental pendant pieces for a more care-free look.

If your dress has a high neckline or is heavily embellished, you might want to skip the necklace altogether and let your other accessories shine. However, for simpler dresses, a well-chosen necklace can be the perfect finishing touch.

Ethereal Veil or Cape

A veil or cape made from the softest, lightest tulle will complete your fairy bride aesthetic. A simple sheer veil or cape will finish off your look subtly, while a veil, cape or sleeves embroidered or decorated with cutout leaves, flowers, stars or even some beautiful symbolic or meaningful words will add an extra fairytale element. A flowing cape attached to your shoulders can create the illusion of ethereal fairy wings for a truly enchanted forest wedding vibe.

Acheiving Your Enchanted Forest Fairy Look

A well-chosen hair accessory can be integral to creating a fairy tale vibe and ensuring your look works with and reflects your enchanted forest setting. Whether you choose a crown, hair pins, hair vine or some nature inspired jewellery the key is to pick pieces that work with your setting, outfit and your unique personal style. Whether that’s a super-sparkling crown or subtle minimal hair pins, the accessories you select will help to create a cohesive look to make you feel like you’ve just stepped out of the pages of a magical forest fairytale.
