Wedding dresses may be the main attraction, but we at Labella Bridal Boutique in Virginia know that the right accessories will enhance your look and add a personal touch. The problem is that there can be a dizzying amount of choices to make when it comes to jewelry, shoes, veils, and other items, so you shouldn't go overboard. Make sure you read our style rules for accessorizing your wedding dress before you buy anything!
Find the right metals
You may not realize this, but the color you choose for your dress can set the tone for your entire wedding day look. Gold works best with ivory dresses because it highlights the creamy color of the fabric. For a pure white dress, choose accent colors in silver or platinum or with pearl detailing — gold may clash with a brighter white hue! If you went with a diamond-white gown — this barely off-white color looks amazing with yellow gold, rose gold, silver or pearls. You can let the color of your accessories be dictated by the beadwork on your dress. For example, if your gown has gold beading, pick a necklace, bracelet or earrings with a gold base.
Consider your veil options
Bridal veils are iconic bridal accessories! First of all, you should ensure that your veil matches the color of your gown. You should also choose a style that won't steal the spotlight if your dress features a lot of detail. A sheer veil over a veil with two layers of tulle is a viable option if you want to show off the back of your dress!
Opt for a headpiece
Not into veils? That's totally ok! There are lots of ways to complete your look. If you're wearing your hair down, choose an accessory that goes with that hairstyle. For example, if you have loose hair, an updo will be most secure for you to wear a flower crown! You can also find other accessories that are easy to put into hair; barrettes or clips work great with easy styles. Most importantly, make sure whatever you pick feels secure and comfortable for you during the ceremony!
Find the right shoes

No outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes! You'll want a killer pair to go with that gorgeous dress, but comfort should be key. Don't forget: You'll be standing for long periods of time and you don't want to be cringing in pain before you've even hit the dance floor. When shopping, consider the height of the heel, the type of straps and the material. Your feet need to be well supported. Look for high-quality natural materials. They're infinitely more comfortable than synthetic ones, are a lot more durable and will encourage you to wear them again and again.
Your wedding day is a special occasion, but don't stray too far from your usual style. On your wedding day, the goal is to look and feel like the best, most beautiful version of yourself!
