How To Accessorize Short Hair On The Big Day

Love your short hair but stumped about how to accessorize your locks on the Big Day? Although it may seem like wedding headpieces were made for long-haired gals, they look just as great as great on short-haired brides.

Some of the top tips: secure your veil with a headband, and don't be afraid to go big (or vintage) with glam accessories. Watch the video above for more short-hair style advice.
