The accessories you choose to wear on your wedding day can really make or break the look you want to create and have. For example, if you’re wearing a super decorated wedding gown with a long train (we love this for you) you’ll probably want to keep your veil and jewelry simple so you won’t distract from the dress.
One of the first things you must take into consideration when choosing your veil is the size and scale of the veil compared to your dress. A veil should complement you, not overwhelm you.
With jewelry, in my opinion, simple is always better. Between a gown that has some bold characteristics to it and something fancy on your head, you may want to keep your jewelry to a minimum. If you wear a lot of rings on your hands, I suggest that for your wedding day, you wear only your wedding set. You also definitely don’t want to wear your Apple watch.
When deciding about wearing a necklace think about the neckline of your dress. Do keep in mind, that the neck lines of many gowns are beautifully cut and detailed. Therefore, wearing a necklace would just distract from the beauty of the dress.
When it comes to earrings, my general guideline is that the earring should not be larger than the tip of your thumb. Stick with an earring that is stable, not one that dangles and moves when you walk. This activity around your ears could be distracting to look at. The color of the earrings you choose should complement your dress. Pearls and diamonds are always an excellent choice. Remember: you want the focus to be on the face, not the earrings you choose to wear!
Shoes are perhaps one of the most important purchases you will make. You’re going to be on your feet practically all day, so invest in a pair shoes that will be comfortable for hours! However, do keep in mind, if your dress is detailed and eye-catching, you’ll want to stick with a simple styled shoe. Conversely, if you’re wearing a simpler dress, you can go with a more elaborate shoe. Remind bridesmaids to keep the same advice in mind when selecting their shoe. And don’t forget to break them in or bring another flat pair for the dance floor!
When you shop for accessories, make sure that you will have a chance to see your selections as a finished package. So when you go buy shoes or earrings: take the dress with you. Or make sure you have the option of returning items if they don’t look quite right when you try them on at home. It is very important that your entire ensemble looks good together cause girl, you will probably get a photo taken of you every 30 seconds on your wedding day. No joke.
