How to Accessorise Your Wedding Dress
3D Organza Flower Veil
Your wedding dress is the star of the show on your big day (apart from you of course), but the right accessories can really elevate your look and make it feel complete. With so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming trying to decide on the best accessories for your wedding dress. Here are some tips for how to accessorise your wedding dress:
Start with the dress: Before you start thinking about accessories, it’s important to consider the style and silhouette of your wedding dress. The accessories you choose should complement your dress, rather than competing with it. If your dress has a lot of embellishments, you may want to choose simpler, more understated accessories. On the other hand, if your dress is more minimalistic, you may want to choose bolder, statement accessories.
Choose your veil: The veil is a traditional wedding accessory that can add a touch of glamour and romance to your look. When choosing a veil, consider the length, material, and style that best complements your dress. A shorter veil is perfect for something more modern, understated and is quite manageable, while a longer veil is more traditional and formal. Lace or tulle veils are classic choices, but there are also plenty of other options such as silk, organza or chiffon.
Select your shoes: Your wedding shoes are another important accessory to consider. They should be comfortable enough to wear all day and match the style of your dress. If you’re wearing a traditional, formal gown, a pair of elegant heels might be the way to go. If you’re having a more laid-back, outdoor wedding, you may want to choose a pair of comfortable flats or sandals. Your back and feet will thank you later!
Don’t forget the jewellery: The right jewellery can really make a statement and add some personality to your wedding look. If your dress has a lot of beading or embellishments, you may want to choose simpler, more understated jewellery. If your dress is more minimalistic, you can go bold with statement pieces. Pearl or diamond earrings and a bracelet or bangle are classic choices, but there are also plenty of other options such as crystal or coloured gemstones.
Consider your hair: Your wedding hairstyle is another important factor to consider when accessorising your dress. If you’re wearing a veil, you’ll want to choose a hairstyle that works well with it. If you’re not wearing a veil, you can choose a hairstyle that showcases any hair accessories you’re wearing (if any). A simple updo or half-up, half-down style is a classic choice, but there are also plenty of other options such as a ponytail or loose waves.
Add a belt or sash: A belt or sash can be a great way to add some visual interest to your wedding dress and cinch in your waist. Choose a belt or sash that complements the style and colour of your dress. A simple, narrow belt works well with a more modern, minimalistic dress, while a wider, beaded belt can add some glamour to a more traditional dress.
Think about your makeup: Your wedding day makeup should enhance your natural beauty and complement your dress and accessories. A classic, timeless makeup look is always the best choice in our opinion. You’ll want to engage a professional makeup artist to ensure that your makeup looks flawless on your big day.
