What pieces would you recommend to a bride? When it comes to accessorising as a bride, it very much depends on the theme of your wedding day, as well as the type of dress you’re wearing. For instance, if your dress is traditional and simple you’ll have a lot more scope to jazz things up with necklaces, hoops and bracelets adorned in diamonds or pearls. On the other hand, if your dress is bold and busy, you may feel that simple studs and a bangle work. Additionally, say you’ve opted for a rustic-themed wedding, you’ll want everything to tie in nicely with this aesthetic; opals and leaf-like pieces will work beautifully with a boho-style gown. Or you may decide on traditional, meaning a light lustre of diamonds over drop earrings to complement your up do is the ideal option. No matter your wedding plans, you’ll want your accessories to complement your theming and overall appearance. That’s our top tip.
