If you’re having trouble finishing off your wedding style, then have no fear! Bridal accessory gurus Bridezillas are here to help you choose the right finishing touches to go with your gorgeous gown.
How do you accessorise a princess-style dress with a lot of sparkle up top?
As tempting as it is to buy a lot of dazzling diamante accessories, less is definitely more. Use your sparkly bodice as the main feature and add a traditional princess-style tiara with lots of sparkle to complement your style of dress. Finish your look with small crystal drop earrings to add a touch of elegance. Leaving the neck bare will avoid an overload of sparkle and won’t detract from the detail on your dress.
What accessories go with a lace bridal gown?
There are many ways of accessorising every dress, it’s simply a case of choosing the right accessories, which are in keeping with your style and overall look. Vintage lace looks fabulous with darker, silver accessories, as they have a more ornate look.
Choose a vintage-style side tiara that incorporates both crystals and pearls. Pearls are an elegant and traditional way of maintaining a vintage look while crystals set on darker silver give a touch of sparkle without being too modern.
When it comes to bracelets, try to avoid a diamante bracelet sat in claws as it may catch on your lovely lace. Instead, wear a beaded crystal and pearl bracelet to match your head piece, or for a really traditional look, choose a gorgeous lace cuff or lace gloves.
What accessories would help create a truly glamorous look?
Glamour depends on the individual, but for everyone a gorgeous pair of Swarovski crystal drop earrings is a great starting point. Wear your hair up and add a tiara with equal amounts of sparkle to match those earrings, it’s the perfect combination for a totally glamorous look.
If your dress is quite plain then a sparkling pendant would finish off the glamorous look nicely, or if your dress has a bit of detail, I would leave the neck bare and wear a glitzy bracelet to add elegance and glamour. Apart from sparkly accessories, nothing screams glamour more than a feather shrug or bolero. Not only does the added volume around your shoulders accentuate or help create an hour glass figure, the soft feathers give a romantic element to the look.
What details should boho brides wear, apart from just floral accessories?
A unique accessory, perfect for boho brides, is a hair vine worn across the forehead. You could incorporate a bit of colour by opting for gold accessories rather than silver. If the wedding is outdoors then take the opportunity to wear a pair of Wellington boots, too – you could even pick the colour of your boots to match your theme!
Delicate jewellery could get lost in the overall look, so a chunky statement bangle is an ideal way to add a bit of glitz without steering too far away from your eccentric style.
