Wedding accessories are small details that can easily be forgotten. Without them, your wedding look can fall flat, incomplete, or lackluster. But, with the addition of the right veil, rings, or earrings, your outfit can take on its full life. Here are some wedding day accessories for the bride you may not want to skip out on.
The Ring
The bride is the lady of the hour. It only makes sense that she has an accessory that deciphers her from everyone else. Okay, this one is a no-brainer. But it’s important to note because it’s the most important wedding day accessory of them all! Without the wedding band, the ceremony will be missing a vital piece.
Note for the grooms: Make sure you purchase your wedding ring at least two to three months out from the big day!
Veil
The veil is a moment all on its own! It comes in different shapes, lengths, and even textures. You can have a regal moment and have a cathedral-length veil that stretches for miles. Or you can opt for a subtle and vintage moment with a birdcage veil that just falls past your cheek.
Next, you’ll have to decide how you’re going to wear your veil. Will you want to leave some mystery and have it cover your face as you walk down the aisle, or will you want a modern look and have it sitting low in your updo? The choices are all yours! Etsy has a great selection of handmade, affordable veils for all tastes.
Earrings
There are so many different ways you can go about wearing earrings on your wedding day. If you’re the more subtle bride, wearing small studs or pears will be just enough to let your dress take center stage. If subtle isn’t your style, a pair of statement earrings will be perfect for you. The August Sisters handmake one-of-a-kind accessories and their earring selection is the pop of color you need. If you fall somewhere in the middle, go for a pair of chandelier earrings.
Necklace
When choosing a necklace, you want to follow similar guides to the earrings. For the simple bride, choose a necklace with a single small pendant. If it matches your earrings, even better! For a statement moment, go for a bigger necklace. These tend to work best with more simple dresses because they won’t be competing to create a moment. Jonesy Wood has plenty of timeless, elegant necklaces that will tie in well to your dress’s neckline.
A Crown or Tiara
There are rare moments in a person’s life where they get to play princess or queen, and a wedding is one of those. Of course, crowns and tiaras aren’t a must, but if you want to wear one, you’ll definitely make it clear who the lady of the hour is. Take advantage of the occasion and go all out!
Headband + Hair Accessories
If a crown isn’t your taste, consider different hair accessories. Those include headbands and hair clips. They come in all shapes, materials, and really anything you can imagine to bring your wedding day aesthetic to life.
Garter Belt
So here’s the thing. The idea of garter tosses is becoming less of a tradition. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t still wear one. It can be an addition to your look if you’re wearing a high slit in your dress. Or if you’d like to be more subtle, you can have it under your dress and leave it as a surprise for later after the wedding. It’s all up to you!
