15) Headband Adornments

Headbands and floral accessories gave brides a pop of color and matched the groomsmen's corsages of the era.

All decoration that was missing on the dress would go onto the veil and headpiece. Brides would always wore a long single layer net veil which was usually attached to the head using a small pillbox hat. A headband of seasonal flowers was another popular piece, with or without a veil.

Headband flowers matched the very large bouquet and brides and grooms corsage. Common flowers were pink or white carnations, gladiolas, roses and real or fake greenery. Orchids were also very popular corsage flowers.
