Looking Good as a Bride: How to Accessorize Wedding Gowns

One of the most important things about your wedding is the dress. All women fantasize about it ever since they are little girls and every bride that ever walked down the aisle has wanted it to be perfect. However, just finding the best wedding dress that should suit you will not be enough, since it is really important to combine it with the right amount and type of accessories. This is a part where many brides can go wrong, because accessorizing wedding gowns will not always be an easy task. A lot of things are involved in it: size, color, style, and budget. Below you can find a few important tips about finding the right accessories that can help your gown look stunning.

There are three basic rules and by sticking to them, you can have great success with the bridal gown.

Set up a budget and try hard to stick to it

This is really important, and if you make the accessories part of the wedding gown budget, it will be simple to stick to it. Don’t go over your head trying to choose something really expensive and fancy, always pick the accessories with a price in mind. This doesn’t mean your dress will get the ugliest accessories possible, there are many good taste options within a reasonable price range

If the dress is simple, accessorize heavily

You can even go bold in your choices of jewelry and corsets. A very simple dress will go with chandelier earrings or huge bracelets. The trick here is to be able to remain within the limits of good taste. Wedding gowns experts will tell you that the wisest thing to do is to pick a central piece and focus on that. Having too many large pieces of jewelry will be considered confusing by anyone admiring your outfit. If you go for a large chunky necklace, big earrings and bracelets will not be suitable anymore.

If the gown is loaded with details, stay on the subtle side

Many wedding gowns have beaded details, or lace or they can have really complicated layers. In this case, you really should consider that accessories should stay quite discrete, because the dress needs to remain the central focus point of the attire. Choose a very delicate necklace and small stud earrings as accessories and they will make you look like a princess.

Overall, there are many ways of styling wedding gowns, and it basically all depends on what you choose: you can go for a vintage style, or classic, or you can go sleek or hippy, also depending n the wedding theme you choose. The basic accessories will include corsages, headbands, clutch bags and jewelries.

If you don’t want to wear a traditional bouquet, a corsage is the best and most discrete option, you can wear it attached to the dress or around your wrist. Some brides will wear a corsage in their hair.

Some wedding dresses may be considered incomplete if they are not accompanied by a clutch. Consult a stylist expert and go for a bold statement: attach the corsage to your clutch, this will be considered quite chic.

Many wedding trends include headbands as stylish accessories replacing veils. They can greatly enhance the hair style and can usually complement wedding gowns in an optimal manner. A nice touch would be to replace the veil with a band that has a nice feather extension.

Just remember: accessorizing your wedding attire shouldn’t be a huge thing, but it is very important to make sure all the accessories you choose are a perfect fit for the gown itself.
