Picking the Perfect Accessories For Your Wedding Day
So you’ve found your dress and hopefully got to pop the confetti at Strike Bridal Bar when you did…but even if you found your perfect dress elsewhere, the next step is choosing the perfect accessories to round out your wedding day look. Depending on your dress, you may need a few finishing touches or you may want to make a bigger statement with your accessories. The dress is a major piece of your wedding day puzzle, but it’s important to choose accessories that reflect your style and complete the wedding day look. Here’s the next question - what will you need to complete your bridal style?
Under the Veil
Choosing whether or not to wear a veil on a wedding day is not the only decision that brides have to make. With different lengths and styles, there’s a variety of veil options to choose from. There’s classic and romantic tulle veils to veils decorated with pearls, sparkle, or fringe. Veils can be short and abrupt, coming only to a bride’s shoulders or fingertips, or they can be long and dramatic, skimming the floor or a cathedral length. Want a veil that only covers your face? You can opt for a birdcage style veil. But beyond the style of the veil, it’s not the only option for topping off your wedding day look. There’s shoulder covering toppers, chic boleros, and stylish capes that need to be considered.
The Joy of Jewelry
It goes without saying that the most important piece of jewelry on your wedding day is your wedding band, but beyond your veil and your dress, you might want some more jewelry to complete your look. Whether your wedding day frosting consists of rhinestones and lots of sparkle, classic pearls, or floral touches, the next question that needs to be answered is what type of jewelry to choose. If you don’t know where to start or what to choose, your dress will help you determine what kind of jewelry you will need. Have a plunging neckline or a low back on your dress? A necklace or a back necklace might be the best choice. Wearing a higher neck or a dress with a lot of detail on the bodice? Opting for a beautiful pair of earrings may be all you need. Need to add some sparkle to your bodice or waist? Add a stylish belt or sash. Finish off your wedding day jewelry with a matching bracelet, or a crown or headpiece to complete your hairstyle.
From Head to Toe
The final piece is picking the perfect pair of shoes to complete your bridal style. There’s so many options to choose from, so selecting a pair that matches your vibe should be easy…if you know what you want. We love a bride in a fabulous pair of pumps, a comfy pair of sneakers, or a stylish pair of sandals. Choosing the right pair of shoes can make or break your day. Not in terms of the style that you choose, but the level of comfort that comes along with it. If there’s one piece of advice we can share, it’s to find a pair of shoes that are comfortable and you will truly enjoy wearing. As a bride, you will be on your feet a lot during the day, and not just when you’re walking down the aisle. You will be moving about taking pictures, greeting guests, and owning the dance floor. Depending on the bride and your plans for your day, maybe two pairs are the perfect pick for your wedding.
