No outfit is complete without the right accessories. Whether your wedding style is similar to Carrie Bradshaw's, preferring an elegant understated ivory suit for your nuptials or you have a flair for the dramatic style, like Sofia Vergara's extravagant mermaid wedding gown, the right accessories can provide the perfect finishing touch.
Not sure how to pull together your look? Jane has a few ideas...
In the mood for something colorful? Complement your little black (or white) dress with standout earrings. We know you have at least one pair in your (or your mother's or sister's or best friend's) jewelry box.
If your dream look is a strapless, patterned dress, feel free to play-up the accents. A bold statement necklace can easily highlight each feature you love. Simply select your favorite in a complimentary hue and don’t be afraid to stand out – it's your day after all!
Gowns with jaw-dropping backs require minimal accessories. Let your newly adorned left hand share the spotlight with your open back dress; keep your jewelry elegant and understated. A classic set of pearl and diamond earrings paired with a delicate pendant or bracelet will take care of that. One of our favorite collections is the Tiny Treasures Collection by Roberto Coin. Delicate diamond pieces perfect for your pre-wedding celebrations (and lovely bridesmaids' gifts as well, hint hint).
White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
