7 Ways to Personalize Your Bridal Look
Yay! You found your perfect wedding gown and are ready to add a personal touch to your look! Incorporating accessories is one of the most fun ways to make your bridal look uniquely yours! From hair pins to gloves, accessories complement your gown and help you showcase your unique personality and style!
1. Style Your Hair with Accessories
Hair accessories are so much fun and can add an extra touch of elegance or sparkle! We recently held a trunk show event with accessory designer Luna and Stone, who offer stunning handmade hair pieces, including hair clips and hair vines, that can elevate any bridal look. These beautifully crafted pieces are handmade in Canada and can even be customized to suit your feel!
2. Accentuate Your Look with a Veil
A veil is the ultimate bridal statement and one of the most traditional pieces in the bridal ensemble. These gorgeous head coverings can be traced back to Ancient Greece when brides would cover their faces as they walked down the aisle. Today, many brides opt out of covering their faces but still incorporate veils to add a sparkle detail or to highlight their gown’s dramatic train.
3. Enhance Your Gown with a Bridal Sash
A bridal sash is the perfect way to complement your beautiful gown! From clean, satin sashes to sparkling, beaded accents, these sashes will help accentuate your waist and add interest to your gown.
4. Incorporate a Bridal Jacket
If your wedding is going to be a little chilly or you want to add an extra detail to your gown, a bridal jacket might be perfect for you! Whether you’re drawn to a bridal jacket’s lace sleeves or perfect neckline, these accessories can help finish your look!
5. Elevate Your Look with Gloves
Elegant and graceful, a pair of bridal gloves is one way to make a statement! Bridal gloves come in a variety of feels including tulle, satin, and beaded gloves. Whether you’re a bride who loves pearls or sparkles, bridal gloves have a classic feel that elevates any gown!
6. Introduce a Cape to Add a Dramatic Touch
If you’re looking for a more modern alternative to a classic wedding veil, a cape might be just what you need! Capes can add a romantic feel or bring show-stopping drama to enhance your wedding gown. Capes come in a variety of fabrics that can pair perfectly with any gown!
7. Complete Your Ensemble with an Overskirt
A bridal gown overskirt is a detachable piece of fabric worn over the wedding gown to add volume, dimension, and uniqueness. Because overskirts are detachable, they can be removed after the ceremony to create a second look for the reception! Overskirts also offer comfort and mobility because they are lightweight and easy to move in! You can walk and dance in your overskirt or remove it after the reception.
Accessory Appointments
If you already found your perfect gown but don’t want the fun to end, scheduling an accessory appointment is a great way to continue celebrating! Accessory appointments are so much fun and the perfect time to explore all the additional details that help complete your wedding day look! Whether you are looking for a veil, cape, or sash, an accessory appointment will give you dedicated time with your stylists to explore all the options!
