Affordable Ways to Accessorize on your Wedding Day

By posted February 18, 2010, 10:58 am | Comments: 3

How you choose to accessorize on your wedding day is just as important as choosing the dress. Whether you’re looking to make a statement with each piece of jewelry or looking for subtle ways to complete the look, accessorizing is key to any bride’s ensemble.


For some, accessorizing means draping yourself in diamonds complements of Harry Winston. For others, it means delicate vintage pieces to refine the look. But for those who cannot afford to be bejeweled by priceless gems or classic vintage pieces, do not fret. Put your classic pearls aside, because I’ve found some affordable statement-making accessories to adorn you on the Big Day.


Necklaces


Whether your necklace is old, borrowed, new or blue, choosing a necklace is a big decision. With an endless selection of modest, sparkly, classic and vintage necklaces, be sure to pick one that adds that certain “je ne sais quoi” to complete your look for the Big Day.

Bracelets


When it comes to wedding photography, you’ll have many pictures of your bouquet, your ring, and holding hands with your new groom, and as such, your bracelet will surely be noticed. Therefore, it’s important to select a bracelet or even a watch that complements your ensemble.

Earrings


You should never underestimate the importance of earrings, especially when it comes to your wedding. Earrings are the proverbial “icing on the cake.” Simple studs can polish off a classic look while a pair of chandelier earrings adds a dramatic effect. Either way, earrings are meant to create balance and enhance your overall appearance. Look for a pair that suits you best considering what you’ve chosen for the rest of your wardrobe.

Pins
