Accessorize
in Style
Found your dress? Now it’s
time for the fun part: adding
accessories you love. Here, the
comprehensive guide to pulling
off a totally personalized look.
BY SHELLEY BROWN
CLASSIC
Simplicity is key to nailing
timeless bridal style. For
sparkle that won’t clash
with a classic gown, invest in
understated jewelry like pearl
drop earrings, diamond studs
or a thin tennis bracelet you’ll
want to wear long after your
wedding day. To make a more
dramatic statement, consider
crystal-encrusted or pearl hair
clips, or a long, sheer veil with
lace edging that matches the
fabric of your gown. Looking
to infuse a pop of color into
your streamlined ensemble?
Give a nod to the “something
blue” tradition with a pair of
baby-blue heels or a sapphire
pendant. Another thought:
Pair a black-velvet sash
with your dress. It’s a bold
accessory that creates
a sophisticated contrast
and accentuates your waist.
