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!

Pregnant Bride? Take a Lesson from Halle Berry

When X-Men star Halle Berry married French actor Olivier Martinez last weekend, the bride looked beautiful in her long white gown. Although the details are still being kept quiet, one person present at the wedding said that it featured a plunging backline. Many are speculating that the gown was an empire waist design with crystal accents by Jenny Packham.

If you’re a pregnant bride to be, there are plenty of dress styles that are perfect for your big day. Whether you want to flaunt your figure or hide your bump, you can still look gorgeous for your wedding.

To show off your bump, look for fitted styles such as trumpet or mermaid cuts. To downplay it, choose a looser gown with an empire waist.

Of course, the key to finding the perfect gown as a pregnant bride is to look for something comfortable. Pay attention to the temperature, and choose something that you’ll be able to wear with comfortable shoes.
