So, you want to choose the perfect accessories for your wedding dress. You definitely don't want the accessories to take away from the dress, but rather complement it. It all comes down to your personal choice and what the dress is like. Does your dress already have a lot of embellishments, or is it on the simpler side? Is it low cut, or does it have a higher neckline? Is it ivory, white, or more of a champagne color? Will you be wearing your hair up or down?
Match Your Metals
There are some general rules to follow when choosing a color for your accessories. Ivory and gold pair very well together -- the gold brings out the ivory tone. If your dress is pure white, try silver accessories. These tones mesh better together, as gold tends to clash. If your dress is embellished, choose accessories based on what pairs best with it. Again, it's your day -- if you feel that gold washes you out and silver looks best with your ivory gown, go for it!
Keep it Simple
A lot of the time, less is more. If your dress is covered head to toe in embellishments, you might consider forgoing the heavy jewelry. A simple pair of earrings and your smile might be all you need. A pair of drop earrings complements your gown much more than any necklace could, especially if your dress has a detailed neckline. If your gown is on the simpler side, a necklace might be for you.
Sash it Up
Jewelry and a lot of bling may not be your style, but what about a sash or a belt? A beautiful sash or belt can say a lot on a dress. You can work with your salon to create a custom one, tailored to your style.
At the end of the day, it's your wedding, your dress, and your day. Work with your salon and try on all of the accessories you want. Your bridal consultants will be more than happy to help you choose what works best for you and your gown.
