Bridal accessories

Dear readers,

As you probably know, accessories pull a whole look together. Even a stunning gown doesn't make a look complete without some embellishments. Which is why we shall discuss the essential accessories for a bride!

1. Jewellery

Beautiful earrings are a must, especially if your hair is up. It really completes your polished look, and makes you shine. If your ears aren't pierced, they can now make fake earrings that don't look cheap like the ones you played with when you were 8.

If your dress is strapless or has a low neckline, I also recommend a necklace that works with your earrings. Experiment while shopping for different looks, textures, even colours! I suggest you keep to light colours, so you don't pull focus from the dress.

Some girls like to wear tiaras, to feel even more like princesses on their big day. If it suits you, why not?

Here are some great ideas for bridal jewellery:

This one is from Isabelle Lehoux's wedding collection, I apoligize for the poor quality of the photo, but it's really beautiful stuff, and not costly. Visit her website: http://www.isabellelehouxmontreal.com/fr/produits/occasions-speciales/index.html

This website also has very nice jewellery: http://www.glamourjewellery.com/main/Bridal_Jewellery.php

2. Undergarments

You will have to shop for special undergarments. You don't want to wear your wednesday panties for such a special day! Shop for comfortable and beautiful underwear. However, if you already own a great strapless bra, in white or beige, I don't think you need to buy another one. I had originally thought about buying a sort of corset and was surprised when the saleslady told me it could show through the dress. Like if the corset stops at your belly-button, then you will see a line through the material of the dress. So I opted for a strapless bra.

3. The garter

This was the first item I bought for my wedding. I was shopping at La Vie en Rose and came across the cutest garters, very simple with white lace and a blue ribbon, for only 8$. It also counted as my "something blue"!
Here are some addresses to shop online: http://www.weddingfavours.ca/c/GRT/Garters.html

This one is quite cute in my opinion, and comes from this website: http://www.theshoppingchannel.com/Cathys-Concepts/Accessory-Collections/Bridal-I-Do-Wedding-Garter/pages/productdetails?nav=R:620743
