On her wedding day, a bride deserves accessories that not only complement her look but also leave her feeling stunning. From classic and elegant to trendy and glam, bridal style can incorporate anything a bride wishes, whether it be a family heirloom, something new or blue, or something that speaks to her inner quirkiness. No matter whether you want to have bold or simple accessories, mix and match the finishing touches of your dream wedding style however you wish, and you will surely have all eyes on you, especially your betrothed.
Enjoy these four fun trends to help you decide what to pair with your wedding dress.

It’s All About the Wedding Shoes
We love a sophisticated, closed-toed heel for a stylish bride. Pointy-toed shoes elongate the leg and leave a lot of room to have fun with a strappy design. Look for a pair in a fun color, with studs or sparkles, or opt for a timeless pump that you can re-wear after the wedding to remind you of your special day.
Ways to Add “Something Blue” to Your Wedding Day Look
You know the old saying. We love when brides choose “something blue” for their shoes! A pretty baby blue is always a classic and looks beautiful with a long white gown. Other popular options are to wear blue earrings, have a touch of blue mixed into your bouquet or a blue sash holding it together, or paint your toenails blue for a fun pop of color.

Simple, Elegant Ways to Dress Up Your Wedding Gown
Maybe your dress is intricately detailed, or maybe your style is more subdued. Your accessories don’t have to steal the show. For this look, opt for some stud earrings with a simple, dainty pendant, a choker neckless, a lace veil or belt, or a hair barrette or hair accessory that is a family heirloom. And, consider keeping your jewelry in the same family of either silver, gold or rose gold.
Accessories That Will Make a Statement
Pick an accent piece and own the look! If you choose an updo, you could include a sparkling hair piece or pick a beguiling seasonal blossom to have interwoven into your hair. No matter what you want—from a bright, bold pair of shoes or studded belt to entrancing drop earrings or a cathedral veil—don’t be afraid to make a statement on your wedding day.
