Elvish Hair:

• Long and flowing, possibly with intricate braids.

Elvish Headpieces:

• Beaded Headdresses & Hair Jewelry; Headbands (metal or beaded), wreaths of flowers or leaves, delicate (not over the top) tiaras might also work well.

Elvish Veils:

• Think long and flowing, not too poufy!

Hobbitish Hair:

• Curls of any length are wonderful. No overly sophisticated updo’s.

Hobbitish Headpieces/Veils:

• Wreaths of flowers appear to be the best and only choice! (IMHO)
• For veils I don’t know that they are really necessary, but perhaps a small, shoulder-length veil could be attached at the back of the head.

Rohirric Hair:

• Long and flowing, or pulled up (a la Eowyn at Theodred's Funeral).

Rohirric Headpieces/Veils:

• Headbands, wreaths of flowers or leaves, simple, medieval style (not over the top) tiaras might also work well. Natural polished semi-precious stones like Malachite, Lapis, Amber (no bugs inside!), Tiger Eye, Jade and Garnet might work well. Rhinestones don’t work well for a Rohirric wedding!

• For veils, keep it very simple, perhaps in a medieval style of wearing a headband/circlet over a long veil. Perhaps there is no headdress at all, just a veil draped over the head.
