Nature-lovers and hippy-types aren’t the only ones who can rock a hair wreath made straight from nature. Use thin branches, leaves, flowers and berries. It’ll go perfectly with an outdoor fall wedding.

Then again, if you hate the idea of anything in your hair, whether leaves, flowers, feathers or the traditional veil, you can always forgo it all. Put your hair up in sexy tendrils and keep out the accessories. Let your hair speak for itself!
