Weddings are not just about exchanging vows and celebrating love; they're also a perfect opportunity to showcase personal style and elegance through accessories. Whether you're the blushing bride or an esteemed guest, accessorizing appropriately can elevate your ensemble and add a touch of sophistication to the festivities. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the art of accessorizing for weddings, offering tips and ideas for both brides and guests to shine on the big day.

1 // FOR BRIDES

Bridal Jewelry: The choice of jewelry can significantly enhance the bridal look. Opt for pieces that complement your gown and personal style. Classic options like pearl or diamond earrings and necklaces are timeless choices that add a touch of elegance.

Hair Accessories: From delicate floral crowns to sparkling hairpins, the right hair accessory can complete your bridal ensemble. Consider incorporating elements that match your bouquet or wedding theme for a cohesive look.

We love this hairpiece from Jennifer Behr. The mix of pearl and crystals compliment almost every bridal look. 

Veils and Headpieces: Veils remain a popular choice for many brides, adding a traditional yet ethereal touch to the overall appearance. Alternatively, opt for intricate headpieces or tiaras for a more modern flair.

Shoes: While comfort is key, don't compromise on style when it comes to bridal footwear. Whether you choose classic pumps, strappy sandals, or embellished flats, ensure your shoes complement your gown and allow you to dance the night away.

We love these "Simpre Vive" shoes from She is Cheval as they are stylish and a modern take on a traditional bridal shoe. Best thing, is they can definitely be worn after your wedding day.

2 // FOR GUESTS

Statement Jewelry: As a wedding guest, seize the opportunity to showcase your personality with statement jewelry pieces. Bold earrings, chunky necklaces, or stacked bracelets can add flair to your outfit without overshadowing the bride.

Clutches and Handbags: A chic clutch or handbag is not only practical for carrying essentials but also serves as a stylish accessory. Opt for a design that complements your attire and adds a pop of color or texture.

Hats and Fascinators: For daytime weddings or outdoor ceremonies, hats and fascinators are excellent accessory choices. Choose styles that suit your face shape and coordinate with your outfit for a polished look. Create a modern look with a black or metallic birdcage.

Scarves and Shawls: In cooler weather or for evening affairs, consider accessorizing with a stylish scarf or shawl. Not only do they provide warmth, but they also add an extra layer of sophistication to your ensemble.
