This is a collaborative post: You have picked the venue, set the date and picked your perfect dress. With everything there is to book and plan, you might forget about the little details that go towards making your wedding day special and unique. Do not let the small things pass you by, here is some inspiration for the perfect accessories to complete your bridal look.
Bracelet
A beautiful piece of jewellery to enhance your wedding look is a bracelet. Consider these diamond and tennis bracelets and pick out something simple and elegant that goes with your dress. This is a perfect option if you do not want to go too over the top with your jewellery and invest in something that is going to dominate your outfit.
Earrings
Earrings are a simple and subtle way to add a little sparkle. Traditionally a bride would wear pearl studs, which are timeless and elegant, but if you want to kick it up a notch you can opt for diamond earrings or a pair of dangly statement earrings – whatever matches your style and theme. If you are wearing other items of jewellery, then consider how these pieces all come together and work with your dress.
Crown
A flower crown is a beautiful accessory for any bride. It is a particularly popular choice for boho themed weddings but with the various options that are out there, you can find the perfect crown for you. Alternatively, you can try a subtle but sparkly crown to accompany your veil and add a bit of pizzazz to a more plainly decorated gown.
Garter
The origin of the garter is that wedding dresses were considered to bring good luck and so to avoid the guest ripping pieces off to take home, the bride would wear a garter that could be given to one of the attendees. The garter toss is an old wedding tradition that has started to decrease in popularity a little over the years but if you decide to give it a miss, that does not mean you have to forgo the garter completely! A beautiful garter can help boost your confidence and make you feel sexy, as well as being a little treat for your husband on the wedding night!
Hair accessories
1920s-style headbands and hairpieces have become more popular and are a great option if you want to add something to your hair, possibly in lieu of a veil. For something a little more subtle or if you have decided on a classic updo, you can opt for a few elegant hairpins.
Shoes
Possibly the most important accessory for your big day is your shoes. Make sure you consider this early on as your gown may need to be hemmed to fit them perfectly. You should also consider comfort – will you be wearing these shoes all day, or do you want to bring a change of shoes for the reception? Consider the wedding venue and whether you will be spending a lot of time outside.
