Once you have found the perfect bridal gown, the next step is to find all of the accessories that will complete your look to its fullest potential.
Naturally, the gown itself will lead you towards certain types of bridal jewelry sets and headpieces, but many dresses can be taken in different styles, depending on which accessories you choose.
Whether your personal taste is classic, glamorous, or eclectic, find you wedding gown accessory inspiration here.
Classic.
The classic bride is all about timeless elegance.
As such, your accessories should be ladylike and somewhat understated.
Pearl bridal jewelry sets are a favorite with classic brides.
Instead of a tiara, wear a pretty pearl double headband to coordinate with the bridal jewelry.
A ribbon edge veil will suit your style wonderfully.
Choose darling shoes, such as a silk flat with a tailored bow or a sweet pair of pale pink or baby blue silk slingbacks for a hint of color.
Glamorous.
You love drama! The glamorous bride needs loads of sparkle in her accessories.
Chunky rhinestone pendants or large crystal necklaces with teardrop briolette drops will be your cup of tea.
The ideal bridal jewelry sets for the glamorous bride have drop earrings and one, if not two, bracelets to coordinate with the necklace.
Pin a sparkly brooch to the handle of your bouquet wrap for even more glamor.
Your shoes will need to be red carpet-worthy, so look at designer styles such as high heel sandals...
perhaps with a few more crystals or rhinestones on them to complete the effect.
Earthy.
The bride with an earthy sensibility will prefer accessories which are natural in form.
Look for details such as necklaces made with unique keshi pearls.
The irregular shape of each pearl will suit your taste for organic shapes.
Another idea for an earthy bride is to pick accessories in warm colors, rather than pure white.
Pearls or crystals in colors like amber and bronze may be more your style than the traditional bridal white.
Bring in textures, as well, such as a mohair crocheted wrap to toss over your shoulders for a chilly autumn wedding.
It would be an elegant alternative to a more structured wrap like a bolero.
Minimalist.
Being a minimalist does not mean that you do not like to have any accessories or details, just that you prefer your accents to be well-edited.
Opt for a restrained luxury in your wedding jewelry and other accessories.
Try a pair of stiletto earrings in crystal or pearl, paired with a slender drop pendant.
This would be a gorgeous accent for a sleek contemporary bridal gown.
Choose a very long, unembellished veil and wear a small cluster of hairpins in a low knotted bun at the nape your neck.
It is the perfect way to look polished on your wedding day, while still staying true to your un-fussy aesthetic.
Trendy.
The trendy bride is the one who can always been seen wearing the hottest wedding gown just off the runway.
If this sounds like you, your bridal jewelry definitely needs to be just as high fashion and current as your gown.
Try a tangle of layered necklaces made from pearls, crystals, and silver or gold instead of the traditional demure strand of pearls.
Or choose a stand out motif for your wedding jewelry, such as a crystal butterfly.
Select a headpiece to complement your bridal jewelry set, like a crystal brooch worn on one side of an asymmetrical hairstyle.
Your finished bridal ensemble will look like it stepped from the pages of the most current bridal magazine - sheer perfection!
