Finding the perfect wedding dress can be a challenging task. You will probably need to visit multiple stores before finding a dress that you absolutely love. However, a wedding gown is not complete without bridal accessories. On your wedding day, you will be the centre of attention, and all eyes will be on you. Therefore, you need to look the part and accessorize accordingly. Here are some essential accessories every bride needs on her wedding day.
Your wedding band will be the most important piece of jewellery you will wear on your big day. However, you will probably want to wear additional jewellery to compliment your lovely gown. It would be best to wear just one or two carefully chosen pieces of jewellery instead of wearing too many pieces and risk it looking too much.
Whether you choose to wear your hair up, down, or in a side bun, you will need a few hair accessories such as veils, hairpins, or flowers to complete your bridal look. If you are looking for something more glam, you could opt for a crystal headband, tiara, comb, hairpins, or clips. Another great option would be a floral headband made of real or faux flowers with greenery.
Undergarments are an important yet overlooked accessory for a bride on her wedding day. After you have chosen your wedding dress, ask the personnel at the bridal salon whether they think you need to purchase additional shapewear or seamless underwear to help your gown look picture-perfect. You don’t want to keep having to pull up your bra during the day or have your panty line showing under your dress.
If you are getting married in the chilly winter months or your wedding day celebrations will go on ’til late, you will need something to keep you warm. A faux fur stole or a lace bolero in the colour of your gown would also make you look fashionable as you say, “I do.” If you are around Georgia, you can explore an atlanta bridal shop for some trendy recommendations. Ensure you mix and match well to get that nice look on your big day!
You need to figure out what shoes you want to wear on your wedding day so that your wedding gown can be hemmed perfectly. It would be best to select comfortable shoes as you will be wearing them for many hours. If you will be having a garden wedding, steer clear of stilettoes to avoid poking holes in the grass as you walk.
The garter tradition came about because people believed that having a piece of the bride’s garment would bring good luck. If you choose to follow this tradition, you could incorporate some family heirlooms in your garter or personalize them with your wedding colours. A garter is also the perfect way to add “something blue” to your wedding look.
In the few days before your wedding day, do a final sweep of your checklist to ascertain there is nothing you have left out. Your accessories will take your bridal look to the next level and bring your look together on your wedding day.
