How To Choose Wedding Accessories
at a&bé, we know that accessories can completely elevate your bridal look and make it one-of-a-kind. accessories are not only a fun way to get creative, but sometimes adding an accessory piece can take an amazing dress to the one because the look feels personalized to you!
there is no right or wrong way to style a wedding dress, but it’s always helpful to keep in mind your personal style along with the feel of your wedding day. want to feel ultra bridal? pair your dress with a long, dreamy veil. planning on having a glamorous day? complete your look with some sparkly statement earrings and a head vine. want to be a boho babe? throw on a quartz belt and crown. there are so many ways you can go, so that’s why we are here to show you styling inspiration from our a&babes and styled shoots.
we provide in-shop styling appointments where you will work with an expert stylist to bring your vision to life. each of our shop locations has an extensive collection of bridal accessories that are exclusive, handmade, and customizable to your vision.
Types of Wedding Accessories
Wedding Veils
when it comes to veils, you can go super simple or add a lot of drama depending on your personal style and veil choice. either route you choose, a veil will add a dreamy element to your look. so many of our brides love to add a veil to their wedding dress because it really gives them the “I’m getting married” feeling - it’s undeniably bridal!
our collection of veils includes different lengths from fingertip to cathedral length veils. we have a range of veil styles from soft, minimal veils, veils covered in pearls, and veils trailing with lace. the options are endless!
Wedding Jewelry
jewelry can be subtle or it can be a statement. we carry modern metal pieces from lia terni, romantic free-spirited looks from untamed petals, statement quartz options from emma katzka, and more classic pieces from sara gabriel.
jewelry pieces are where you can really get creative with your look. most of our accessory designers have multiple different stone and metal options to choose from so you can create exactly what you're looking for. and one of the best parts about bridal jewelry? these are investment pieces that you can wear long after you say your “I do’s!” from wedding dress to little black dress, these accessories can see you through all of your most glamorous moments.
Wedding Dress Belts & Sashes
wedding dress belts and sashes are a great way to accessorize if you are wanting more detail on your dress. sashes like the truvelle raw silk sash can help accentuate your waistline, break up the pattern of a dress, or add the detail of a bow to the back. belts can be sleek and complete your ultra-mod look like the lia terni minimal belt, or they can add some whimsical florals like the madeline vine.
Wedding Hair Accessories
we also love wedding hair accessories. wearing a veil doesn’t feel like you? wear a head vine like the beautiful opal leaf rain vine by untamed petals. plan on wearing a veil but just want to add a little extra something? style your veil with the emerson comb. want two looks for your day? wear your veil with a hairpiece like bowen by untamed petals and after you’re done with your ceremony, take off your veil but keep the comb on for the rest of the night!
When To Shop For Your Wedding Accessories
we can accessorize your look no matter your timeline. most of our accessories take between 2-8 weeks to be produced, though some pieces are ready to ship and most can be rushed for a small fee.
if you bought your dress with us, a great time to order accessories is when you come in for your dress pick-up and styling appointment. otherwise, we’d love to have you in for a veil and accessories appointment to designate a full hour with one of our expert stylists to focus on completing your look. we are here for you every step of the way.
