There are a lot of guides and trends on how you should wear your hair on your wedding day. Depending on the dress design, you need to think about hair accessories.
Here it is also important to consider the message you want to send. For example, veils are often seen as a traditional hair accessory, while natural flowers or tiaras as the new wave of wedding accessories.
When you think of a bride’s veil, you might visualize a long white and simple veil, but nowadays their design has become more elaborate.
Now, you can choose from short, medium, long, and extra-long veils that can come with embroidery, sequins, diamonds, or precious stones. And there are also cage or blusher veils that can help you create a vintage or romantic look. The latest trend in veils is embroidery that sends a message, such as Hailey’s Bieber “Till death do us part” veil.
Of course, you do not need to wear a veil to feel like a bride. If you are looking for a more natural and boho-chic look, then you can opt for natural flowers. This is better to be discussed with your florist, to make sure that the natural flowers will look perfect all the wedding day.
There are a lot of other options you can choose from to accessorize your hair. There are crystal combs, tiaras, hairpins, barrettes, and many more that can help you create the look you want and complete your wedding dress, according to research from Pinterest.
Bridal Wraps
Even though your wedding day is during the summer, you could not forget that on some summer evenings the weather can get chilly. And if your wedding day is planned during the fall, winter, or summer, the bridal wrap can be an essential accessory to complete your outfit.
Some brides think that if they add a bridal wrap, their look will be compromised. This is not true, as many bridal wraps options can add the touch of personality your wedding dress needs. And it also protects you from the cold and chilly evenings. Bridal jackets are best suited for weddings that take place during the winter or late fall, while bridal shawls and capelets are for spring and summer weddings.
Bridal Jewellery
The jewellery you choose to complement your dress is very important, as it can help you create the look you want. There are bold accessories, such as chandelier earrings that create a stunning and glamorous look, while feather earrings create a more boho chic, natural, and a vintage one.
Of course, you need to decide upon the jewellery you will be going to wear on your wedding day, apart from the wedding ring, that best fits your look. “Keep in mind that if not chosen carefully, the jewellery can ruin your look. For example, necklaces do not fit every wedding dress design, and instead, they go best with strapless necklines”, says Brandy Hale, the social media expert at a magazine for brides.
The same is valid for bracelets. Be careful not to overcrowd your look. Go for a simple, yet sexy, stunning, and romantic look completed by a limited amount of jewellery that can make the difference.
Shoes
The shoes are very important for a bride. Your wedding day will be full of ceremonies, activities, and in the end, the reception where you party with all your guests.
A long day ahead requires some comfortable shoes that complete your wedding dress at the same time. Even though your shoes will not be visible most of the time, if your dress is long, you could go for a pair of elegant shoes that are appropriate for the wedding venues too.
Bridal Garter
Your look would not be complete without your bridal garter. It is one of the most important days of your life, so you can create the look you desire and deserve. There are a lot of wedding games and traditions you might want to follow, such as tossing the bridal garter.
Apart from these, the bridal garter adds a touch of sexiness to your look. The best thing about this accessory is that you can personalize it however you want.
