A crown can make any bride feel like royalty on her wedding day. From classic tiaras to modern headpieces, wearing one of these big-day accessories is an easy way to customize and elevate your bridal look. For starters, we love how the right tiara can add a pop of color and texture to your ensemble. Just take this bride, for example. Her Emma Katzka Bridal crown's mix of diamond-and-gold flowers added dimension to her soft, feminine makeup. A headpiece can be purposeful, too. If you are looking for a stylish way to keep your hairstyle or veil in place, a headband-like iteration will do the trick.

If you love the look of a crown, you'll be pleased to know that there as so many different types to choose from—so you can find one to complement your big-day look, whatever your style may be. From a bohemian-inspired crystal crown that offers earthy, natural flair to a dreamier Grecian accessory made of silver leaves, the options are endless. You can even wear a plexiglass version with a colorless finish that matches just about any contemporary look. Each option is guaranteed to add a regal finishing touch to any bride's ensemble.

Whether you wish to tie your wedding day's vibe into your outfit or upgrade your hairstyle with some sparkle and shine, a statement-making tiara or crown is the way to go. To that end, we've curated plenty of inspiration to help you decide which look is best for your celebration. After seeing how fashionable each newlywed looked on her big day, you'll want to walk down the aisle in your own dazzling headpiece.
