Wedding Gown Accessories

If you watch fashion shows and if you read a lot of style tips, you will find a recurrent motif wherever you are and whatever “fashion and style gurus” you normally follow: accessorizing is everything.

Of course, your wedding day is absolutely no exception from this rule. Accessorizing your wedding gown properly can make it (and you!) shine. It can make simple dresses become true pieces of art. It can transform everything, indeed!

Because accessories are so important, here are some tips you may want to consider when choosing them for your wedding gown:

• The veil: this is one of the most commonly encountered wedding dress accessories, but it is not an absolute “must” these days. You are free to choose whatever length and design you desire, but make sure it will not be uncomfortable if you plan on dancing while wearing it. Even more than that, you can skip this altogether.
• The tiara: some brides choose to wear a tiara. You can wear it with your veil or as a stand-alone piece as well. Also, you can choose whatever design you feel most comfortable with, but make sure it matches with your other pieces of jewelry as well.
• The jewelry: you can have whatever jewelry you like. If your dress is very revealing in the front, a necklace will look gorgeous. Also, make sure you match the necklace and the earrings and that they don’t make you look too “busy” (that means that a very large necklace may not go excellently with a very large pair of earrings, for example).
• The shoes: generally, this is an area where brides get creative. Matching the shoes with those of your bridesmaids or going for very bright colors seems to be a popular choice. Furthermore, you can always choose to have your wedding shoes custom dyed if you are keen on a particular color!

Victoria Beckham’s Wedding Tiara to be Auctioned

If you can still remember Victoria and David Beckham’s wedding back in 1999, it was a beautiful event that made everyone swoon. Of course, the Spice Girls singer wore a magical Vera Wang wedding gown that was all the more accentuated by a gold and diamond tiara. If you can still remember that tiara, you’ll be excited to know that the tiara is set for auctioning next month!

Designed by jeweler Slim Barrett, the famed tiara is scheduled for auctioning at Bonhams on December 5. If that’s good news for you, you might regret getting excited on that because the tiara is said to cost anywhere between £18,000 and £25,000.

The crown-style tiara was made from 18-carat latticed yellow gold. There are large brilliant cut diamonds as well as some suspended diamonds droppings that made the tiara look exquisite. According to the jeweler, the tiara was made to order and was never remade.

If you’re a big fan of the couple and you’re about to get married, this tiara might be something to consider. Well, if you had that much money that is. Another option is to check out our selection of designer bridal gowns so you can find one for your big day!
