We've all been there at a wedding: You're touching up your makeup in the bathroom mirror or sweating it out on the dance floor, and as your perfectly tousled mermaid waves or pin-straight strands fall in your face, you think, "Where the hell is an elastic when I need one?" Unfortunately, black elastics--or worse, painful rubber bands--wrapped around your wrist aren't exactly chic when it comes to wedding day accessories. The solution? Kitsch hair accessories, soft and stylish hair ties and headbands designed to be "kind on your hair yet charming on your wrist."

Kitsch's hair accessories come in pretty colors and prints to match your ivory lace sheath, blush ball gown, or floral bridesmaids' frocks. Their budget-friendly price tag makes them great bridal party gifts, too. For brides, bridesmaids, and flower girls, we like the Blushing Bride hair tie set, which includes five ties in ballet pink, lace print, white glitter, antique white, and silver, and the I Do headband set, which features five headbands in silver, snow glitter, ballet pink, silver glitter, and ivory.

Snatch up a set (or two) of Kitsch hair accessories at JMR Chalk Garden or Nordstrom City Creek in Salt Lake City, and at Flight Boutique or Olive & Tweed in Park City.
