1.Veils
Nearly every bride needs a veil. Veils are a timeless classic that, when done right, complement any gown. This is the perfect finish that every bride needs for total, head-to-toe perfection. With so many veils to choose from, youre certain to have more than enough choices to flatter your look.
Theres a new veil in town, and its short and sassy, yet elegant and refined. Its the Bridal Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil. This veil is all the rage among chic fashionistas, as well as the traditional set. Old Hollywood glam meets romantic mystery. Pair it with a flower comb, and youve created a unique look that will turn all eyes on you. Your wedding photographs will thank you for years to come. This is not an awkward trend; its a unique, classic complement.
Die-hard traditional bride? Thats perfectly acceptable. You are the brides that keep the true essence of wedding beauty alive. For you, it must be long, sweeping and ethereal. Choose a stunning cathedral length veil. One tier, which is exactly what most classic brides desire. A beaded metallic edge lends a perfect feel of modernity without compromising the timeless factor.
2.Headpieces
Perhaps youre among the trendsetting brides who are choosing to buck tradition and shun the ubiquitous veil. To that, we say go for it! Sure, its different, but so are you. Fortunately, bridal designers are creating more and more amazing headpieces for brides just like you.
It doesnt get any more unconventional than the Feather Fascinator. It even sounds exotic, doesnt it? It is, and in a most fantastic way. This modern headband features gorgeous accents such as a stately rhinestone center flower and a romantic, Russian tulle blusher. For the topper: a beautiful spray of feathers. A perfect choice for the bride who loves all things modern, deco and unique. Those in the high-fashion set should not overlook this striking accessory.
Going for a sleek, elegant look without the fuss of too much on top? Consider the delightful Pinwheel Feather Flower Clip with Rhinestone Center. An absolute must-have for brides opting for chignon, bobbed or slicked-back dos. Plain hair simply wont do on your wedding day. This clip adds just the right amount of flair without interference.
Not to be overlooked, tiaras are still incredibly popular among brides of all styles. Whether youre a bride desiring a simple, no-frills tiara, or a high-glam style maven who wont settle for anything but the works, theres a tiara out there for you. Style T7539 is a stunning mid tiara that shimmers with just the right amount of pearls and crystals. The pretty floral motif oozes romance without compromising modern style. The rum and ivory pearls lend a unique touch, yet allow it to remain timeless. Need bling? Opt for the Bridal Open Regal Style Tiara with Crystals. This is a total princess tiara, featuring a regal array of shimmering Swarovski rhinestone flowers and multi-size Swarovski accent rhinestones. This is taller tiara thats all about sparkles galore.
3.Wraps
If youre all about accessories, then you mustnt overlook wraps and gloves. These stylish pieces are often forgotten by so many brides, but you know better, dont you?
Lace jackets are growing in popularity among brides in-the-know. If youre going to rock this look, opt for long sleeves for the full effect. Try Style LSLACE, a fitted lace bolero jacket that wont compete with your dress. There are many ways to wear this jacket. When worn during the ceremony, youre sure to achieve that classic, Kennedy-esque look. You can also opt to wear it simply for the reception to add a new look to your ceremony ensemble. If the weather turns chilly, youre set to go. Also, consider taking your photographs with the jacket on and off in different shots to add variety to the shots.
For the true diva, theres nothing finer than the Fur Wrap. This gorgeous, faux fur stole comes in white or ivory to complement your ensemble. If youve always dreamed of walking down the aisle in a white fur stole, but your wedding takes place during the summer, politely suggest that they turn up the air conditioning in the chapel. Sure, your guests might get a bit chilly, but its all about you, dahling. Perhaps reserve this right for brief ceremonies, however. You dont want Aunt Edna turning into an icicle before you say I do.
