Weddings are huge events.  Every hour of from makeup application to cutting the cake is documented by photographs.  Look back on your wedding day and the photographic proof feeling confident that you looked your best.  If your wedding is in the planning stages then we have some must have bridal accessories to choose from. 

Modern Veil- Long train veils are a thing of the past.  Lose the extra weight on your wedding day with a contemporary veil.  Netting covering only to the chin line and a thin layer of tulle are great substitutes.  Retro and vintage accessories are in style for weddings and make for interesting accents.  A vintage wedding hat with a netting veil could be the perfect pairing combination for your stylish ceremony.

Crystal Headband- Tiaras are out unless you are planning a princess themed wedding.  They give off a dated and imaginary vibe. But if you really like the idea of accenting your “crown” with sparkle and bling, consider a crystal accented headband.  Many accessories purchased at a bridal store can be extremely overpriced.  Shop around at your favorite stores to find a headband at a fraction of the cost.  You may always add a layer of lace or tulle to the underside of the headband to create a veil.

Hair Accessories- Due to the duration and activity involved in most weddings many brides opt for fancy updos.  Hair pinned up will hold style and volume longer than even the most heavily sprayed hair style alternative.  Incorporate a gorgeous accessory into your stylized hair such as a flower or crystal accent.  Feathers accessories are very trendy this year.  If you don't find an affordable feather clip, then you may choose make your own.  Add white goose feathers, craft feathers or most popular, ostrich feathers to your store-bought accessory to make a stunningly dreamy piece.

Bracelet/Necklace- You may have heard the wedding saying “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue?” Jewelry is a great way to incorporate these items.  A family heirloom necklace or a newly purchased diamond collar given to you on your wedding day from your fiancé can be meaningful accessories that will add to the sentiment of your special day.

Broach- If you were on a budget, like most brides, when you went dress shopping, you likely had to compromise between your ideal dress and which dress you could afford.  There will be a few opportunities to try on your dress before your big day for fitting purposes or to reveal it to your closest relatives and you may find it lacking in the style department.  If it seems to be too plain for your big day, go shopping for a spectacular crystal broach.  Apply it to your dress where many wedding dresses have embellishments: belt line, off center or just under the center of the breast line.  Get a few opinions before you make pin holes in your dress, but this inexpensive update is sure to make your dress unique.
