Tips for Accessorising Your Wedding Dress for the Big Day

Accessorising your wedding dress can be just as important as choosing the dress itself. The right accessories can help to complete your overall bridal look, and make you feel truly special on your big day. In this blog post, we'll be sharing some of our top tips for accessorizing your wedding dress, to help you look and feel your best on your special day.


Start with the basics

Every bride needs a good pair of shoes, a veil or headpiece, and some jewelry. When choosing your shoes, make sure they are comfortable, as you'll be standing and dancing in them for most of the day. A simple pair of white or ivory heels will complement most wedding dresses, but if you want something a little more unique, consider a pair of metallic or embellished shoes. For your veil or headpiece, choose something that complements the style of your dress and hairstyle. A simple, delicate veil can be a beautiful option for a traditional bride, while a statement headpiece can add a modern touch.


Layer your jewelry

Choosing the right jewelry can be tricky, but layering can help to create a unique and interesting look. A simple pair of stud earrings or a delicate necklace can be the perfect finishing touch for a classic bride. For a more modern look, try layering multiple necklaces or bracelets. Adding a pair of statement earrings can also add a touch of glamour and sparkle.


Don't forget the details

Small details can make a big impact on your overall look. A pair of delicate gloves can add a touch of elegance, while a beaded belt can help to define your waist. A brooch or pin can be used to add a touch of sparkle to your hair or dress. And consider adding a touch of color with a pair of colored shoes or a colorful bouquet.


Think about practicality

Your accessories should not only look great but also serve a practical purpose. For example, a shawl or wrap can be a great option for an outdoor wedding, keeping you warm during the ceremony. A pair of sunglasses can be a lifesaver on a sunny day. And a clutch can be a convenient place to keep all of your essentials, such as your lipstick, tissues, and cell phone.


Have fun with it

Remember that this is your special day, and you should have fun with your accessories. Don't be afraid to add a touch of your personality to your look. If you love bold colors, consider a colorful bouquet or a pair of bright shoes. If you're a fan of vintage styles, try adding a pair of vintage earrings or a vintage-inspired headpiece.

In conclusion, accessorizing your wedding dress can be a fun and exciting part of the wedding planning process.
