I am not one for rules, and definitely not on your wedding day. Bows are and have been having a moment for some time. If you have the confidence to go for a bow then you should damn well style it however you like!


The bridal bow trend as a veil


First up we have the overisized bow veil, an alternative to your traditional veil where the long ties of the bow hang down as a veil would. Go big or go home I say. This one is a showstopper

If an oversized bow veil is not for you then why not go for more of a tulle bow option, which has more of a bow as an accessory vibe to it, less of a veil. Perfect for city weddings and smaller ceremonies and elopments too. This one looks wicked with a short dress

Birdcage veils and the bridal bow trend


For a really vintage look an oversized bow on a birdcage veil is just perfection. This delicate birdcage veil and silk handmade bow goes the extra mile with a beautiful vintage floral centre. Perfect again for city and registry office weddings, and short dresses. Just want the bow? No problem this comes in 2options

Bridal bows of course come in all shapes and sizes and this flat grosgrain bow birdcage veil headband is perfect for a more subtle timeless nod to the trend if that is more your cup of tea

Don't want a veil. but still love bows?


Of course the bridal bow trend and veils do not have to go hand in hand. A beautiful oversized satin handmade bow can be the perfect compliment to any look inparticular an evening reception look

And if a tiny nod to the bridal bow trend is all you want and hair accessories are not your thing, what about a pair of handmade quirky bow earrings instead? These can be worn again and again too
