How to make a statement with accessories on your big day

While some people prefer having the limelight more than others, your wedding day is one of the few times in your life that you’ll be the subject of your guest’s undivided attention. With everyone’s eyes on you and your groom, it is important to dress the part, no matter what your style.

One of the best ways to ensure this is with your accessories, which can make or break any outfit. With that in mind, here are our top tips on how to make a statement with accessories on your big day.

The jewellery 

When choosing the jewellery for your wedding day, the most important thing to keep in mind is that its job is to be a finishing touch, not take centre stage. Sometimes less is more, and if you will be wearing a traditional white dress, then a quite minimal matching necklace and earring set, such as this this one from Swarovski, will make a sophisticated statement without being overbearing. Alternatively, jewellery is a great way of expressing your personality, and choosing a non-traditional stone such as ruby or emerald can make a stunning statement when done right. 

The hairpiece 

There aren’t many women who wear a hairpiece as part of their day-to-day wardrobe, so when it comes to their wedding day, they often overlook this crucial part of the ensemble. Whether you choose to release your inner-princess with a tiara or go classic with a flowing white veil, a hairpiece is the perfect way to add a touch of elegance to your bridal outfit.

If you want to dress things up while keeping it contemporary, go for understated glamour with a hair comb. This ruby crystal and pearl hair comb from notonthehighstreet.com will bring a touch of class to your wedding outfit without overshadowing the rest of the components, and will go just as well with a classic white dress as it will something a bit less traditional. 

The shoes

While your wedding day is the perfect chance to put on a glamourous pair of stilettos, for those unaccustomed to wearing heels, it is a great idea to bring along a pair of flats to change into after the ceremony and photographs. These gorgeous ballet pumps from Van Dal Marina come in white, and will keep you feeling elegant if you choose to swap your heels for something a bit more comfortable. 

Keep these tips in mind when you are planning your wedding outfit and you are sure to look your stunning best as you walk down the aisle.
