What Accessories to Wear to a Wedding

Assembling your accessories for the big day is just as important as picking your outfit, shoes and lipstick shade. If you’re stuck for ideas, we’ve got you covered from head to toe. See below for our favourite accessories for brides, guests and everyone in between.

Hair accessories are big news for weddings. Hair clips, head bands, fascinators – you name it, there’s a style for everyone to slide into their hair. Position your hair brooch on one side to bring the perfect amount of sparkle to a ponytail or messy bun. If an updo isn’t on the cards, the all-time favourite fascinator is a classic wedding accessory that’ll upgrade your blowdry to match your lavish lace dress.

No outfit is complete without dainty details, from baroque pearls to earrings in every colour, shape and style. A chunky necklace will distract the eye from deep V necks, while injecting a contemporary touch to dresses with a round neckline. If your outfit has cropped sleeves, a charm bracelet looks delicate on the wrist. Don’t overdo it on the jewellery, choosing one or the other. If you’re the bride, a pair of elegant pearl earrings will suffice.

Carry those big day essentials (lip gloss, eyeliner and tissues) in a chic bag. When it comes to weddings, the smaller the bag the better. Cue the micro bag: cute, lightweight and the gateway to organisation. A baby bag will bring charm
to your wedding day outfit. Cut through the colour with a black bag that will never go out of style. Not only is black easy to wear, it’s cool enough to carry post wedding, whether you opt for a box bag or clutch.

We’re calling it first: the pashima is a wedding day winner. It’s light, practical and can be worn by bridesmaids, plus ones and mother of the brides. Swap up the styling options depending on the season – it will add another layer to your outfit. Look to lightweight fabrics like silk and gauze that are simply sweet and demure.
