Let Your Personality Shine
Some brides dream of a classic wedding look while others want to stray away from tradition. It's your day so let your personality shine through with a personal touch to your bridal ensemble. From the veil to your shoes, here are 20 unique tips for accessorizing your wedding look:
1. Big Earrings
The rock on your finger doesn’t have to be the only accessory making a statement. It’s your big day and when will you dress up as much as this again? Treat yourself and your look to big beautiful earrings like ornate chandeliers, diamond-crusted hoops, or large shimmering teardrops.
2. Pop Of Color
If you’re doing the traditional white gown or a wedding dress in one color, be a bold bride and accessorize with a pop of color in a contrasting hue. You could add florals to your updo, dangle colored gemstones from your ears, or strap on a vibrant pair of shoes.
3. Touch Of Lace
Lace is often an embellishment on a dress but not often a part of the accessories. Lace is a timeless material that adds elegance to any look. You could tuck a lace clip in your hair, wear a delicate lace choker, or slip your hands into lace gloves.
4. Vintage Gloves
If you’re in love with a vintage look, delicate gloves are a nod to nostalgic romance. Adorning gloves adds a taste of old-time elegance ready for the red carpet. Long silk gloves will make you feel like a queen from the Regency era while short lace gloves will turn you into a bohemian princess.
5. Bridal Capes
Channel your inner superhero and soar down the aisle in a bridal cape. A cape is a touch more dramatic than a veil and gives you the option to adorn a train if your dress doesn’t have one. A bridal cape made from delicate sheer fabric creates an ethereal effect and is a gorgeous alternative to a traditional veil.
6. Rosettes
Roses aren’t just for your bouquet, roses make romantic accessories. Rossette sashes and chokers are one of the latest runway trends, and we love the 90s-inspired accent. A rosette adds elegance and femininity in a unique and eye-catching way.
7. Embroidered Veil
An embroidered veil adds a unique touch to a traditional bride accessory. Embroidery transforms a veil with texture and details that enhance your wedding look. Adorn a veil with white lace patterns or add a splash of color with embroidered flowers in your wedding theme colors.
8. Customized Veil
A customized embroidered veil is as unique as you can get. Express your feelings with words stitched to your veil or personalize it with your names and the wedding date. A customized veil is yours to create, adding a personal touch to a timeless bridal piece.
9. Big Bows
You’re a real-life doll and you want to rock big bows. Tie a flirty hair bow to your crown, drape yourself in a big bow veil, or adorn an oversized bow at the back of your waist. There are several ways you can embellish with a big bow on your wedding day for a cute and chic look.

10. Neck Scarf
A bare neck is beautiful too, but if want a little something extra, accessorize with a neck scarf. Influenced by old Hollywood beauty, a neck scarf gives you your movie star moment as you strut down the aisle. The best part is that you can take it on and off to switch up your style during reception.
11. Plenty Of Pearls
Pearls are classic gems worn by brides for centuries. For a unique twist on tradition, wear accessories embellished with plenty of pearls. Whether you place a chunky pearl headband on your head or put multi-pearl earrings in your lobes, you can never wear too many pearls.
12. Soft Colorful Veil
If you want a soft yet unique look, a sheer veil in a pastel shade may be the look for you. Without straying too far from tradition, a colorful veil will do just that. Keep your look classy and elegant but with a subtle twist in a veil that isn’t white.

13. Bridal Choker
Unleash your inner Egyptian goddess with a chunky choker. There are many gorgeous chokers to choose from that compliment a chest-baring neckline. Embellish your neck with a choker made from strings of pearls or add some sparkle with a crystal or gemstone choker.
14. Bracelet Stack
A single bracelet is beautiful but a stack of bracelets adds to a look with a bolder beauty. Embellish your wrists with multiple bangles or diamond tennis bracelets to add an eye-catching shimmer to your bridal ensemble.
15. Heart Jewelry
You can truly wear your heart on your sleeve with heart jewelry. Whether you wear a bracelet, necklace, or earrings, a heart-shaped pendant is a lovely touch. It’s a day about love after all, so why not express your true love with your accessories?
16. Vintage Accessories
Bring back a look from your favorite decade by accessorizing with jewelry and hair pieces from that time. Whether it's family heirlooms or from your local antique store, ornate vintage jewelry will add a unique touch to your bridal look.
17. Statement Shoes
If you have a separate closet for your shoes, this shoe tip is for you. You love shoes almost as much as your fiancee so why not wear statement shoes to complete your wedding look? Pumps in a vibrant color or strappy heels with rhinestones or ribbons will jazz up your ensemble, especially if you’re wearing a short wedding dress.
18. Statement Headpieces
Whether paired with a veil or solo, add a tantalizing headpiece to your do. Embellish your locks with an ornate hairpin, elaborate headband, or a retro short veil. It’s your day to dress like royalty, so maybe it’s time to adorn a sparkling tiara.

19. Floral Hair Clips
Let your boho dreams shine with long flowing hair embellished with glittering flowers. Scattering dried flowers or floral clips all over your hair adds a whimsical touch of luxury to your locks. The look appears effortless and enchanting and perfect for a bride.
20. Wedding Jacket
If the season calls for layers, a bridal jacket is a unique and practical accessory to consider. A white blazer or leather jacket will add an edgy flair to any wedding dress. If your ceremony is outside or in a barn venue, an embellished denim jacket would add a playful touch to your formal look that echos the atmosphere.
