How to Add the Finishing Touches to your Wedding Gown with Accessories How to Add the Finishing Touches to your Wedding Gown with Accessories
by Gary Carranza

Even after searching high and low to find the perfect wedding gown, your job is still not over. After selecting your dress, you need to add the perfect accessories for the finishing touch.

Accessories need to enhance the dress, not detract from it. They are the pieces that can highlight a feature of the dress or draw the eyes of onlookers to a particular area. Yes, people will remember you floating up the aisle in a white dress, but when they get closer, they will see the detail you have put into your look.

Headpieces and Veils

There are a few notable new trends in headpieces these days, starting with birdcage veils. Remember the stiff dark netting that draped over a woman's face? You probably saw women wearing them in an old black and white movie. They were a symbol of old Hollywood elegance and mystery. Well, that same style has been modified for today's brides.

· One of the simpler styles is the Russian Tulle Blusher with crystals scattered across the netting. Available in white or ivory, this veil is just 9 inches long. It is anchored by a comb and can be worn alone or with a veil. In some versions, the veil is detachable, so after the service, you can lose the veil, but leave in the flower and not disrupt your hair-do.

· If you want a fuller veil, consider the Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil. This stiff netting falls evenly around your face, dropping as low as your chin. After the wedding ceremony, the blusher veil is removed or flipped back.

· For a more elaborate style, check out the Feather Fascinator. A simple, but beautiful headband is used to hold a 5½-inch flower with a rhinestone center, sprays of feathers and a Russian tulle blusher. It comes in white and ivory.

· Another new trend features black headpieces, like the black Russian tulle blusher. A 4¼-inch black flower with a crystal center is the anchor for the 11-inch black veil. Depending on which side you anchor the flower is where the veil drops down over the eye. It's a very dramatic look. For a simpler version of this look, try a black embellished headband with a black flower and just a 4-inch spray of black tulle.

Jewelry

As opposed to the Hollywood stars that walk the red carpet before the Academy Awards, your jewelry does not have to break the bank. What you want are pieces that will add to your dress and bring a sparkle or shine to your look.

· Earrings can be drops, posts or linear dangles. Golden Pearl Cluster earrings combine classic pearls, set in a modern cluster design. There is a necklace that coordinates with the earrings for a perfect look. For a more elegant look, consider Graduated Linear Crystal earrings. These drop earrings add sparkle and shine and would look great if you are planning an up-do.

· If you are wearing a strapless dress, consider covering your neckline with a sparkling mini-bib necklace. A mini-bib is a necklace features two or three strands of crystals or pearls. Many necklaces come with matching earrings, making these sets something of a bargain.

· Bracelets can be as simple as a double row of pearls or as sparkling as a triple row of crystals set in a zig-zag shape.

Shoes

Shoes need to be in step with your overall look. If you are going for an elegant look, then look for a strappy high-heeled sandal, embellished with strands of crystals. If you are wearing a fairytale ball gown, stick with a simple slipper or an elegant peep toe. If your look is strictly modern, then by all means, try some of the new metallic shoes out there – like the Metallic Leopard Print peep-toe, high-heel platform. Remember, with any shoe you select, be sure you have worn them gently before your big day. This is not a day you want blisters getting in the way of fun.

Handbags

While people will be willing to get you want you need, you still need a purse to carry your lipstick, tissues and other personal items. Today's brides have a wide selection of purses that can work with the other accessories.

· Remember those metallic leopard shoes? There is a matching Metallic Leopard Print brocade wristlet. It's just big enough to hold the few essentials you will need.

· Want something more fantastical? Choose a bouquet bag like the Ribbon Rose clutch with silver trim. It is covered in ribbon roses, has a rhinestone kiss-lock and a chain link strap that you can use or tuck inside the bag.

· If you're going for a traditional look, choose something simple like the Embroidered Sequin clutch. This sweet clutch has rows of intricate beading and embroidery. It snaps shut with a kiss-lock closure.

For the perfect look on your wedding day, don't forget to add the final accessories. Discover your bridal extras now!
