These 6 Bridal Accessories Will Make You the Coolest Bride of 2019
When it comes to weddings, inevitably, a lot of emphasis is put on the dress, but no wedding look is complete without the right accessories. Whatever your style—be it minimalist, boho, or classic—it’s the extra embellishments that take your look to next-level chic.
With Bridal Fashion Week coming to a close last month, we were able to take a deeper dive into the accessories that ruled the runways. Alongside the spring 2020 dress trends (which included wedding suits with trains, high-low hemlines, minidresses, and even shorts!), the accessories were equally as striking. From bold headbands, eye-catching earrings, and waist-cinching belts, below we’re sharing some of the coolest accessories that are reigning supreme right now to get you inspired. If you're getting married in the next year or two, these are sure to add the most striking accent to your look on the big day.
Detachable Belts
While we're used to the delicate embellished thin sashes that are commonly used as a gorgeous finishing touch, this year we're seeing bold and wide belts, cinched at the waist that make a cool fashion statement. Luckily, most are detachable for the utmost versatility.
Shop belts:
Bold Headbands
Headbands have been huge this year with the fashion crowd, and we're excited to hear that the chic accessory is making its way down the aisle. Thanks to beautiful details such as pearl embellishments, floral appliqués, and diamonds—they're positively perfect for the big day. Moreover, they'll make any wedding hairstyle look undeniably cool.
Shop headbands:
Pretty Hair Clips
Headbands weren't the only hair accessory trend to make its marks this year. Chic barrettes and hair clips (another big trend among the fashion set) were seen adorning the most beautiful hairstyles during fashion week. Opt for pearls, beads, and sparkly diamanté clips for the most gorgeous finishing touch to your wedding look. They'll undoubtedly look stunning in your photos too.
Shop hair clips:
Capes
Capes lend drama and glamor to every bridal look. They may have been in the spotlight for the past few years, but this year we're seeing breathtaking super long and sheer iterations that take the place of veils.
Shop capes:
Sunglasses
Sunglasses have become more and more popular for brides and their bridal parties—especially for those looking for a super-fun and cool photo opp. Your wedding look will most certainly be a memorable one.
Shop sunglasses:
Eye-Catching Earrings
From larger-than-life pearl hoops to minimal delicate drop earrings and floral-embellished beauties, bold and striking earrings are taking center stage this year.
