Radiant Communion Headpieces: A Touch of Elegance

First Communion is a special occasion for little girls. It's a day when they make a commitment to their faith, and also a day they want to look their best. The tradition of wearing a white communion dress symbolizes purity, while the veil reflects humility and reverence—traditions rooted in history that make this day even more meaningful.

Once you and your daughter have her dress, a beautiful communion headpiece and veil add the perfect finishing touch. After the day, it serves as a lovely heirloom and a reminder of a meaningful moment in their lives.

The question then is what kind of communion veils and headpieces to choose? To help you decide, we've gathered a few pictures of some of our darling First Communion customers!

Communion Headpiece Styles to Match Her Personality

Some little ones are princesses through and through. So, of course, nothing but a crystal tiara will do! This look is especially charming (and serves Princess Diary vibes) when paired with a timeless updo.

If your angel is also a budding fashionista, a crystal hair vine communion headpiece and dainty veils may be her match! Vines can be statement making, delicate, or with a crystal-centered fabric flower accent, so your little one can choose what's right for her. Plus, they look lovely whether your daughter wants to wear her hair up or down—try weaving them into braids, wrapping them around buns, or shaping them into soft waves.

Some little girls are drawn to classic looks, in which case a sparkling crystal headband is a lovely option. They're also a nice touch if your daughter wants to wear her hair down or in a simple ponytail. We love a crystal headband with some asymmetry and ribbon-edged communion veils to add a little oomph!

Then, of course, there are our free spirits! If your daughter believes fairy wings should be an everyday thing, try a sweet crystal halo. When paired with loose curls or soft braids and a delicately embroidered veil, this communion headpiece adds a touch of bohemian elegance.

Find Your Perfect Communion Headpiece

From communion crowns to halos to headbands, there's hundreds of accessories that match your little girl's personality. The best part is that to find the right one, you get to try them on together!  That shopping experience, and of course the occasion itself, imbues beautiful memories into your chosen piece, making them treasured keepsakes. If you're planning a custom communion headpiece, keep in mind it takes 8–12 weeks to create, so it's never too early to start exploring styles!
