1. Shoes
Shoes are the most important accessory for your wedding. If you’re looking to add a quirk to your big-day ensemble, your shoes are the best place to start. Match your wedding dress with a cream or white lacey peep toes or make your outfit pop with metallic heels or textured laser-cut heels. A bold color like flaming red or cobalt blue can help to build a statement look.
2. Hair Accessory
A gorgeous hair accessory can a hefty dose of style to your overall outfit. You can choose from a variety of options- tiara, crystal headbands to flower crowns and simple hairpins, the options are limitless. If you’re opting for a traditional veil, you may pick an extravagant hair accessory whereas if you’re opting for a birdcage or a blusher veil you can keep your accessory fairly simple. It’s all about finding the right balance between your accessory and the overall look.

3. Earrings and Necklace
Customary bridal jewelry includes the engagement ring and the wedding band. However, if you’re going for a modern look, try adding a delicate neckpiece or elegant earrings to stand out from the crowd. Consider the neckline of your dress and play with the sizes of your jewelry. However, remember to stick to only one accessory at a time as an over-the-top combination can draw attention away from your face and ball gown.
4. Outerwear
If you’re getting married in the chillier months, enjoy the magic of the season with a wrap, shawl or any form of outerwear to keep you warm while also serving as a standout accessory. A faux fur coat is equal parts romantic, glam, and warm. You can also opt for a bolero or shawl to match your gown. It will work as an extra coverage especially if you’re getting married in a place of worship.
