Making a Statement

Ladies, you may have found the perfect gown, but your ensemble is not complete until you find the perfect accessories to compliment that gown. Like everything about your wedding you want your accessories to be a reflection of you and your personality. Here are some really fun trends that I see happening right now.

Interesting Hair Pieces: It seems that the tiara and traditional veil have taken a backseat to some new and exciting hair pieces. One of the most popular trends in weddings today is the birdcage veil. This is a very short piece of netting attached to some kind of headband or clip that typically is no longer than a brides ear. Speaking of headbands, they are everywhere, and they have lace, netting, feathers and more attached.

Fun shoes: We’ve discussed this before, but the days of simple and white or ivory shoes are over. Brides are making statements with their shoes, everything from wearing bright colors, unique styles to a rise in wearing closed toe shoes. Just be sure to let those toes peek out for your guests, and photographer, to see.

Glamorous: It seems our blushing brides today are looking for glamour and elegance on their wedding day, think “Old Hollywood”. Very beautiful statement pieces of jewelry are being donned on the collarbones, wrists and earlobes of these gorgeous ladies. While the pieces are gorgeous, they are not flashy or the “bling bling” sparkle we have seen in the past. They do not overwhelm the dress or, more importantly, the beauty of the bride.

Have fun when looking for your wedding day accessories. Take some time to think about what pieces will really finish your look. Before you head to the store visit mom, grandma, aunts, etc. and see what they have that you might be able to borrow for your big day, wearing a piece that belongs to your family always makes it more special.
