You’ve got the dress. Now it’s time to accessorize. Whether you’re going for a stripped-back, minimalist look, fancy an all-out ensemble with lace, sparkle, puffy sleeves and extravagant trains, or simply something in between, your individual bridal style can be found in the details. And alongside something old, borrowed, and blue, finesse your dress with the right accessories for that magic touch.
We’ve curated a standout selection of extra-special shoes, bags and hair accessories to punctuate your bridal look. And unlike the dress, you can keep on wearing these after the big day is over, from the honeymoon to date night and beyond…
Wedding shoes
Sky-scraping stilettos, or functional but fabulous flats? The choice is abundant when it comes to your wedding shoes so there is something to suit every style and preference. For brides looking for showstopping killer heels, look to the likes of Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin; while those after something chic as it is comfortable for dancing all night long, turn to Manolo Blahnik or Valentino Garavani flats. With a choice of low or high heels, cut from glossy patent leather or lustrous satin, finished with bows, crystal embellishments or a touch of something blue, the options are infinite.
Wedding headbands and hair accessories
Whether you're planning a classic up-do, loose waves or a half up, half down hairstyle, don't ditch accessories for your tresses without consulting this edit first. For many modern brides, headbands, hairpieces or hats can easily replace a veil. From Jennifer Behr's elegant pearl hair clip to Simone Rocha's romantic crystal-adorned headband, dress from head-to-toe in style.
Wedding bags
Keep your essentials close while oozing bridal charm with a stylish wedding bag. Whip it out at your reception to avoid being caught short, thanks to your evening accessory helpfully holding your favourite lipstick and tissues for those inevitable emotional moments. For beaded or pearl embellished designs, look to Reformation and Jimmy Choo, or for something more sleek and satin, Ellie Saab and Aquazzura are always a good option.
