Making a Statement
6 beautiful and bold bridal accessory trends
to consider for your wedding day look
By Jill Jaracz, CTW Features
Your dress is the vocal point of your wedding day look, but the
right accessories can really make it shine.
“When you choose your look for your wedding day, you start
with the gown, but it’s the jewelry that you will wear again and
again, evoking the sentiment of the day you were married,”
says Nina Miner, chief creative officer at Nina Footwear Corp.
Even if you’re not into jewelry, Miner recommends at least
wearing a pair of earrings. “The bride should focus on how her
earrings finish her look, as they will be framing her face in every
close up image,” says Miner.
Also make sure the accessories reflect your true style. “There
are so many style directions for the bride to embrace from a
classic to a bohemian to a vintage look. She should go with the
look that suits her shape, her personality and her venue,” says
Miner.
Consider these modern accessory trends and ideas to take
your bridal ensemble to the next level.
1. GO BIG AND BOLD
Statement jewelry is a great way to add some sparkle, but they
need to complement (not clash) your dress. For a simple dress,
sweetheart neckline or strapless gown, pick something bold
like tassel shoulder duster or chandelier earrings, jewel or fabric
chokers, or a chunky statement necklace.
High necklines or heavily beaded bodices work better with
chandelier earrings as opposed to necklaces, says David Tutera,
wedding and entertaining expert. However, if you dress has a
lot of embellishments or lace embroidery, opt for subtle, “barely
there,” accessories. Don’t go overboard with statement jewelry.
“Go with one statement piece – from a tiara, to statement
necklace to shoulder duster earrings, and make your other
accessories complement your look more discreetly,” says Miner.
