Bridal Accessories
After you decide on the wedding gown, you have to start choosing the bridal accessories next. Among the most important are the wedding shoes, headpieces and jewelry.
Wedding Shoes Buying Guide
The shoes have to be appropriate for the occasion. Sandals are all right for beach weddings, but closed toed shoes are more suited for formal weddings.
For a coordinated look, choose shoes with fabrics similar to your wedding dress. For example, satin shoes are best for satin gowns. For silk chiffon gowns, crepe shoes will look great. But most important, pick shoes that are comfortable. You should be able to stand in it comfortably for at least an hour.
Wedding Veils Buying Guide
Veils are among the most important bridal accessories in many weddings. If you want the veil in the reception pictures, use a clip to connect it to the headpiece. This way you can take it off and on.
The veil should complement the look of your face. For long faces, pick a veil that produces width; for a round face, choose one that conceals the face’s sides. Wear a simple veil if your gown is elaborate. On the other hand, an ornate veil works well with a simple dress.
Bridal Headpieces Buying Guide
Bridal headpieces include tiaras and headbands. Use these to enhance and anchor the veil. They can also be used in lieu of the veil altogether. A couple of barrettes or a jeweled comb will work well. For hair up, put on a bun wrap over the barrette. The veil should be attached to it.
Don’t choose a tiara that’s too high. And don’t pick a gemstone color that isn’t complementary with the other jewelry you use. Tiaras look great on women with short hair, while the bun wraps are perfect for long hair.
Bridal Jewelry Buying Guide
Choose only a few colors (two at most), so the gemstones don’t clash. You can use your birthstone or other types, but don’t mix and match too many. The gemstones and jewelry should match your gown and other accessories.
Remember, it’s not the cost, but the look that matters. If you can’t decide, go for pearls or diamonds; these never go out of style. Antique or heirloom jewelries are always good options especially for formal weddings.
Ultimately, the choice of what bridal accessories to buy is up to you. To make choosing easier, pick those that best match your wedding gown.
