Three Wedding Dress Accessory Strategies You Should Know About

Do you have a wedding in your future and have already been fortunate enough to find the perfect dress but are still at a loss for how to accessorize on your special day? Because details make a difference, it's important to choose the right embellishments to create the best possible look for when you walk down the aisle. Following are three strategies designed to help future brides develop an accessory plan that doesn't overshadow their dress:

Rethink Traditional Veils

Veils have been a part of classic wedding attire for centuries, but today's brides are increasingly turning away from them in favor of other options because veils often distract from the dress, particularly if they're heavy and cumbersome. If you love the Midsummer Night's Dream look, you can choose to wear a crown of flowers in place of a standard veil. For something more formal, choose a tiara -- tiaras can be as understated or as ornate as you like. Wear a simple silver one with a casual dress or one featuring clusters of sparkling gems with a formal dress. Consider wearing one of these alternatives if you're looking for some deviation from the traditional bridal look but still want to keep it as classy as possible. You can always choose a mini-veil if you want to stick with tradition but would rather avoid the look of a long, flowing veil.

Select a Statement Piece

One of the biggest mistakes brides make when they accessorize is to create a "tossed salad" look by using accessories that all serve as focal points in their own right. For instance, an ornate pair of earring paired with an equally ornate and eye-catching necklace with a dress that features frilly and fussy style elements is complete overkill. That type of jewelry only pairing works well with the plainest of wedding dresses. Play it safe by choosing a statement piece such as a gorgeous necklace or long pair of sparkling earrings, but don't overdo it. 

Accent With Color Sparingly 

Modern wedding dress trends have seen an increasing use of color in recent years, and the all-white dress isn't necessarily standard anymore. However, if you want to stick with traditional white yet still incorporate some modern trends into your wedding look, using a bit of color to provide accents should do the trick. Examples include a few red roses embroidered on your wedding dress or statement necklace in a striking hue.
