ACCESSORY BUYING GUIDE : 6 TOP TIPS

It’s time to pick the finishing pieces for the most important day of your life – no pressure! We’ve got you covered with insider advice.

The accessories you choose can make or break your bridal look, so here’s how to avoid the pitfalls and embrace the possibilities to nail your style for your wedding day. As accessory experts, here are our top industry tips for a stress free buying experience.

1. KEEP IT PERSONAL

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you have to pick certain pieces to ‘fit in’ to the usual idea of a bridal look. Keep an open mind about colour tone as brides are often surprised to find gold accessories suit them better than traditional silver, but be true to yourself and only pick what you’re comfortable with.

Pick pieces that reflect your personal style, and fit the scene, and you can’t go wrong.

2. LESS IS MORE

Avoid going full bling. If you want a headpiece and jewellery make sure your look is balanced. So if picking a necklace, earrings and bracelet, go for a subtle headpiece, or pick one statement piece of jewellery or a tiara, (don’t be dripping with crystals).

If on a budget a few quality items is better than lots of cheaper accessories and will give a designer, luxury feel.

3. WHATS YOUR STYLE?

Think about your hairstyle before buying. Some pieces are versatile and some will only work with one type of styling. Have a hair trial to be sure of your favourite look, then buy the headpiece to match.

Be sure to consider your venue. Pick the best vibe for the day ; boho for a barn wedding, classic picks for a castle, relaxed pearls for the beach (you don’t want to look or feel out of step with your surroundings).

4. EMBRACE THE TIARA

Don’t be scared away from a tiara. We know it’s not something you wear every day so it can feel a bit odd, but be bold and you won’t regret it!

This is the only day you can wear a crown so embrace the chance. It doesn’t have to be old school, you can pick formal, but there are Modern and boho tiaras on offer so channel your inner princess and enjoy!

5. LET YOUR HAIR DOWN

Struggling to pick a look for your day? We’ve got you covered… why not have a classic daytime look and change to relaxed glam styling in the evening?

Stick with the same dress and jewellery but simply remove your tiara or headpiece, take your hair down and add an easy to wear clip (they are simply clipped on to even fine hair with no need for a hairdresser). You’ll get two looks for your day and feel you’re styled for more relaxed evening celebrations.
