Accessories & Shoes

It’s the Finishing touches that make all the difference. A carefully chosen hat or head dress with jewellery to accessorize can add a touch of class and make you feel like the most beautiful bride in the world, and no matter what your budget, there are stockists that cater for everyone from designers to high street retailers, so don’t worry you will always find what you want with a bit of searching!

Whether you choose accessories that are delicate or ostentatious it doesn’t matter, it is your outward display of style and there are no limits. So you can go as over the top or as simple as you like!

For that touch of difference why not add embroidery, feathers, and lace  to create an individual style. Ruffles, appliqué flowers and diamante sparkles also make the ultimate statement. These can be in the form of earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets and bangles or rings.

Crystal beads and jewelled dresses are also a popular choice as they reflect and break the light, creating effects that are visually stunning. Why not buy something that can be worn in different ways for example a pearl lariat worn as a choker can then double up and be worn as a belt on your Honeymoon.

Matching shoes are a must and many bridal stockists specialise in dying your shoes to exactly the same colours as your dress. Some brides may opt for a stylish bag so they can carry essential items such as handkerchiefs, lip gloss and face powder.

Gloves and wraps are a good accessory for those winter weddings; after all you don’t want to be catching a cold for the Honeymoon and this way warmth and style are achieved in one! On the opposite note, for a summer wedding or wedding abroad a parasol may compliment your outfit and add that finishing touch.

In terms of hair accessories there is a wide variety of choice from Flowers and flower combs, bows and ribbons, to headbands, tiaras and hair pins. Veils are another important accessory for the bride, and equally as important are hats for the Mother of The Bride.

Crystal tiaras add a sense of occasion, and make you feel like a princess. Suppliers have a wide variety to choose from whether it be a replica of the diamond and platinum tiara worn by Princess Diana at her wedding, or a tiara made to spec by a designer. For the more adventurous create your own by attending a 'create your own jewellery' workshop or course, for a truly individual effect!

In terms of accessories for The Bridegroom; Pocket watches tend to be a popular choice to accessorise, along with cuff links which can be personalised or relate to the theme and colours of the wedding.

Just remember whatever you choose whether it be family heirlooms or something that compliments your personality, you will want to feel like a princess and the accessories you choose should do just that!

Weddings-With-Style Tip:
