Accessory blunders - what to avoid?

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Accessorising is such a fun part of the journey, and getting it just right can truly elevate your bridal look. Here are a few key things to avoid:

• Less is More – Avoid overloading on accessories; you want them to complement your dress, not compete with it. If you have a detailed gown, opt for subtle, elegant pieces. If your dress is minimalist, a statement piece can work beautifully.
• Too Many Layers – Stick to one bracelet, a necklace (only if it complements your neckline), and earrings that match your dress’s style. Mixing too many pieces can look cluttered.
• Competing Headpieces – Choose one: veil, tiara, or decorative hairpins—picking too many can create a mismatched effect. Select the one that best suits your dress and wedding theme.
• Clashing Colours & Metals – Ensure your accessories harmonise with your gown and bridal party. A single pop of colour (e.g., shoes or a statement jewellery piece) works well, but too many competing tones can be distracting. Sticking to one metal (gold, silver, rose gold) keeps things cohesive.
• Forgetting to Tie It Together – Consider small details that subtly match your groom’s look, bridesmaids' dresses, or wedding theme for a polished and intentional aesthetic.

Above all, wear what makes you feel confident and beautiful! Accessories should enhance you and your dress, not overpower them.

Happy styling!!

Congratulations on finding your wedding dress! It's such an exciting time for you. When it comes to accessorising, there are definitely some 'don'ts' to keep in mind to ensure your overall look is elegant and cohesive.

Firstly, consider the neckline of your dress. If you have a dress with intricate detailing or a high neckline, you might want to opt for simpler jewellery to avoid overwhelming the look. On the other hand, if your dress has a simpler neckline, you can experiment with statement necklaces or earrings to add a touch of glamour (check out our most popular 'Walk the Aisle' earrings!).

Another important consideration is to avoid over-accessorising. It's tempting to wear every piece of jewellery you love, but remember that less is often more. Choose a few key pieces that complement each other and your dress without overshadowing it.

Also, consider the overall style and theme of your wedding. Your accessories should complement the aesthetic you've chosen, whether it's vintage, modern, bohemian, or classic.

Finally, I highly recommend looking at our website and Instagram page to explore the styles of real-life brides who have worn and loved our jewellery!
