What would a wedding be without a few shiny baubles to add that extra special glow to your extra special day? Every bride wants that little (or big!) added detail that perfects her look and makes her feel like for one shining moment, all is right with the universe. You already have a gorgeous ring, now what? I have always been one to lean towards something a little vintage, a little unique. That doesn't mean you have to; one important thing every bride needs to keep in mind is that she IS unique, and she absolutely should not settle for anything less than perfect. After all, your fiancée slaved over finding the perfect ring, you searched for months for the perfect dress - so don't stop there!
Sites like Etsy, Artfire, and The Find are amazing sites with unique (re: couture) designers with a wide range of styles. We found everything a bride could possibly want, including belts, combs and earrings.
Bridal belts are one of the most popular ways to accessorize and glam up your gown (find the gorgeous little number pictured below at Nyjole Jewellry)
We also recommend KirstenKeuhnDesigns on Etsy.
This designer's handmade creations are vintage inspired, glamorous and feminine. Prices range anywhere from $25 - $485, with plenty of options in between. If you're feeling buttoned into a hole by a uniquely colored gown, you can loosen up and breathe a sigh of relief - many of these designs offer the option to choose the ribbon color of your choice, and all of them offer extra inches as an affordable add on.
Should you choose to go with something like the chic option of a birdcage, or skip the veil entirely, you'll probably be interested in a piece like a comb or a tiara. If you're feeling adventurous and still missing your something blue, chances are this Vintage Blue Clip will make you feel preen worthy.
Or, if you're feeling a little more traditional, perhaps a sweet and simple princess tiara is what you need to complete your sweet and sultry 'do.
Whichever look you choose, you can be sure that you feel beautiful, unique, and that you don't break the bank!
Any bridezilla worth her salt knows that in order to atone for having the perfect fiancée, the perfect dress, the perfect ring, the perfect accessories, and STILL being a (tad?) overbearing in the weeks before the wedding, she must procure a suitable thank your for her ladies in waiting. All will be forgiven for a reasonable fee - just check out Bourdage Pearls for freshwaters pearls in all sizes, shapes and colors. The proprietors are wonderfully versed in Chinese freshwater pearls and will work with your taste and your price point to pick out the perfect gifts or bridesmaids accessories.
After all, whoever said "diamonds are a girls best friend" clearly didn't have the proper entourage.
