How to Accessorize Your Wedding Gown for a Complete Look

At WildBride, we believe that your wedding dress is a beautiful reflection of your personality and love story. Just like one bride’s personality and love story isn’t the same as the next, we want your dress to encapsulate all that is bound to make your Wedding Day a special one.

The perfect wedding outfit is all about keeping things simple. After all, you want the focus to be solely on you, the bride. But just because you’ve found a wedding dress that speaks to your unique personality, doesn’t mean your outfit journey ends there.

For the bride who dares to defy tradition, accessories are an extension of her personal style. It’s the tool she uses to express her unbridled spirit and daring nature. But, for the wild bride looking to elevate her style on her big day while staying true to her nature, what does she wear? How does she choose?

We’re here to guide you in selecting those vital components, ensuring each one complements your unique spirit.

Wedding Veils

A big question we get from our free-spirited brides is whether they should wear a veil. While this is often seen as a more traditional aspect of a wedding outfit, there are still ways you can merge traditional elements with non-traditional desires.

Deciding which veil to choose will depend on the style and neckline of your dress. For example, a slip wedding dress is clean and simple, so you want a veil that will complement this clean look. Our elegant 100” Wide Chapel with Gather is a stunning way to add a touch of drama while beautifully contrasting your simple, yet sophisticated, slip wedding dress.

In contrast, a birdcage veil provides a unique look for brides eager to add a vintage-inspired touch to their non-traditional gown. Off-the-shoulder or strapless gowns work well, as your exposed shoulders and neck allow the birdcage veil to take centre stage, beautifully framing your face and reflecting your free-spirited essence.

Floral Crowns and Headband

Add a touch of whimsy and magic to your wedding day outfit with a gorgeous headband from WildBride’s elegant collection. So, whether you opt for a fine headband that nearly disappears into your luscious tressels while Swarovski crystals delicately float in your hair, or a handmade piece that you can rock as a crown, there’s something for every daring bride.

If you’re really looking to show off your carefree spirit, why not consider a floral crown? These pieces have a wonderful way of adding a bit of romance and natural beauty to your look, and are perfect for a bride looking to showcase her creativity, love for nature, and a sense of individuality on her wedding day.

Footwear That Stands Out

What’s that famous Marilyn Monroe quote? “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” The same could be said for your wedding day. Your shoes are a wonderful canvas to showcase your unique personality and style, helping you express your quirks, love and passion.

At WildBride, we’ve curated a selection of wedding shoes that cater to the diverse tastes of our wild brides. This careful curation ensures that every pair of shoe embodies all that makes you unique; and more importantly, ensures you remain comfortable.

Here are a few of our tips to keep in mind when selecting the shoe of your dreams:

• Consider the Venue: Opt for shoes that work on uneven terrain.
• Break Them In: Avoid blisters or discomfort by making sure you break in your shoes before the big day.
• Support Matters: Choose a shoe with good arch support. You’ll be standing and dancing all day!
• Think About The Dress: Make sure you match your shoe with your dress’ style.
• Add a Pop of Color: Don’t be afraid to choose a non traditional color. Soft pastels, earthy tones, or even metallics can make a statement.

Our experienced team is always ready to provide you with personalized guidance and support in finding the perfect she that resonates with your style.

Additional Accessories: Earrings & Bracelets

Jewelry can be the perfect way to elevate your look while making it uniquely you. Even a simple gown can transform into something magical with the right earrings or bracelet. You’ll need to keep in mind the balance: bold earrings might call for a bare neckline, while a statement necklace loves the simplicity of a strapless gown.

If your dress has a high neckline, then opt for something simple like studs or delicate drop styles to ensure your earrings aren’t competing with your neckline. Open backs and off-the-shoulder sleeves look mesmerising with long drop earrings or chandelier styles. These kinds of pieces have the ability to draw the gaze downward, stretching your silhouette into something statuesque and fluid.

Bracelets are another accessory that breathes life into your overall look, a soulful way to weave your own magic and story into your big day. Think thin chains with heirloom pieces, charm bracelets or something textured that represents your wild heart. Combined, these additions can be poetry for your wrists and frame your face beautifully.
