Better together: a bridal headpiece over a foldover veil looks stunning. Choose a headpiece that reflects your personality—bling or beads or metallic details—and pair it up with just about any circle cut veil. This elegant combo complements the incredible beauty of the ocean with a bit of your own boho-chic charm.

HEADPIECE ONLY

So you don’t want to wear a veil. No problem! A pretty headpiece will definitely say “bride” and make you feel absolutely gorgeous. If you’re the carefree type, check out a soft flower comb or delicately bejeweled halo. For the more formal future Mrs., a beaded headband or pearl hair vine offers a swanky touch of elegance.

THE ULTRA-LONG VEIL

Nothing makes our hearts flutter more than a gorgeous cathedral veil. Get in the spirit of beauty and romance wearing a long, dramatic design! Whether you choose a light cut edge or lace details, this style is sure to look lovely blowing back in the breeze.

VEIL & HEADPIECE

Combine a pretty veil and the headpiece of your choice for a flawless, put-together bridal ensemble. You can wear the veil for your bridal portraits and ceremony, and then party all night wearing an eye-catching headpiece! This picture-perfect pairing personalizes a traditional look.

FOLDOVER VEIL

There’s something so dreamy about a bride wearing a sheer tulle veil over her face. A classic blusher is usually worn by a bride as she is walking down the aisle, and it is lifted before the kiss. You can achieve the same fairy-tale beauty with a circle cut veil or a two-tier design.

We love the versatility and beauty of bridal belts. Available in a variety of shapes and colors with gorgeously constructed beading and sparkling rhinestones, a bridal belt adds unique beauty to your wedding day ensemble. Here are our top five reasons you should wear one.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Okay, so you scouted Pinterest, Google images, your favorite bridal magazines, and a plethora of blogs for the perfect gown… but you do realize that hundreds of other brides will be wearing the exact same one? Make your wedding feel extra special and give the dress your own personality by adding a belt. This transforms your bridal look with a new style that is completely your own.

WAIST DEFINITION 

Some gowns are almost perfect… but could use a little bit of help. Maybe the dress feels snug in one spot, but needs to be taken in or let out in other places—which makes sense, as no two brides will be exactly the same fit! One way to make a gown flatter your silhouette is by wearing a belt, which adds a point of reference for the eye and gives your waist slimming definition.

SPARKLE, SPARKLE, SPARKLE 

If you have a simple gown or find yourself getting lost in lace, a bit of sparkle can help! Many belts feature intricate beading or pretty shimmer that helps to glam up your look. Belts can also beautifully complement the details on your dress or match a lovely headpiece.

BOW BACK

A dramatic sash can add a pop of color to your entire ensemble. A romantic bow back dresses up your pics with even more bridal beauty. This look is feminine, retro, and totally chic.

BALANCE IS BEAUTIFUL

If you’re wearing a dramatic veil, headpiece, or shoes, consider adding a belt to complete your wedding wardrobe. A pretty belt draws the eye and will help tie together your other accessories for a coordinated, balanced look.

Pretty in Pearls

Did you know that in some cultures brides are afraid to wear pearls? The shape of these beautiful, natural gems is said to represent a tear.
We think pearls must represent tears of joy—pearl accents look especially gorgeous in bridal ensembles! Lace gowns and dresses with embellished backs are particularly stunning with pearls, which give your outfit a delicate, feminine glow. In fact, many gown designers incorporate either real or imitation pearls (made from crystal) into beaded and embroidered dresses. Check out our most popular pearl headpieces, veils, and jewelry to enhance your special day.

Wind a lovely pearl or crystal vine through your bridal locks or wear it as a boho-chic halo; tuck a pretty pearl comb into your updo; or flaunt a pearl and rhinestone headband for a sweet touch of vintage-inspired style. So many options for one day—choose more than one so you have a bridal accessory to wear for your engagement party, bridal shower, reception, and honeymoon!
