5 Accessories Tips to Level Up Your Wedding Gown or Bridesmaid Dresses

Lucille B • June 16, 2022

Now that you've picked out the perfect wedding dress, it's time to accessorize. We all know the power of jewelry and how it gives any outfit the extra pizzazz.

Great accessories add an extra personal touch to your wedding dress. Making it uniquely yours.

If you're not sure where to begin, don't worry, Lucille's Bridal is here to help. In this article, we'll take a look at 5 accessories that will take your wedding gown or the bridesmaid dress to the next level.


1.  Necklaces

If your heart is settled for a deep V neck wedding dress, then a necklace is a piece you don't want to miss out on. It frames your neck and collarbone, highlighting them perfectly. With this type of dress, my advice is to go for layered necklaces.


Feel free to skip this accessory if your dress has lace that fully covers your neck and shoulders.


2.  Bracelets

The classic bracelet has never gone out of style. A fabulous bracelet will draw the eye to your wrist and hands. 

Bracelets go perfectly well with short sleeve and sleeveless wedding dresses.


3.  Anklets

An anklet has a sensual and attractive quality to it. This accessory works best with shorter wedding dresses compared to longer ones that sweep the floor.

It's especially perfect for beach weddings where shoes are only an option.


4.  Shoes

A beautiful pair of shoes has the power to change a woman's life, if in doubt, ask Cinderella. Many brides make the mistake of leaving shoe shopping as the last agenda. However, it should come immediately after you select your wedding dress.

As you pick out the shoes for your big day, make sure they check the following:

  • Do they match the dress?
  • Are they comfortable and the perfect fit?
  • Can you stand with them for many hours?

Although some brides opt for sandals (best for beach weddings), comfortable shoes don't have to be flats.


5.  Hair Adornments

Hair adornments are the first noticeable jewelry piece on a bride, making them the most important. Don't hesitate to explore various options because the day is all about you. You're free to wear a princess tiara or even a full crown if you wish.

Flower combs have recently become popular for summer weddings, while pearls are a common sight in winter weddings.


Extra Tips


Bring In Something Borrowed

As the mother of the bride, it's her time to shine. She can lend the beautiful bride to be some jewelry pieces. It might be the veil she got married in, a bracelet that has been passed down for many generations, or even her favorite hairpin.


Don't Forgo Your Style

As much as there's pressure for you to look perfect, your main priority should be comfort. There's no need to bring out huge dangling earrings if you don't like them. 

By selecting jewelry pieces that you're comfortable with, you'll be able to relax, and you'll be free to have the time of your life.


Choosing the Perfect Hairstyle

With so many bridal hairstyle ideas on Pinterest, it's easy to be lost for choice. A tip that works for most brides is to wear your hair based on the neckline of your wedding gown. 


If you've picked out a strapless gown and want to show off your amazing collar bone, tell your stylist to put your hair in an Updo. This hairstyle also applies to backless dresses.


It's easy for accessories to clash, but Lucille's Bride makes sure that this doesn't happen.  Just like a puzzle, we'll help you pick out each piece making sure they complement each other. We also provide tuxedos for rent.
