Location Appropriate Accessories

Indoor: Being able to change your look from ceremony to reception has been very popular, from changing your head piece from a cathedral veil to a headband to finding a gown with a removable keyhole back, the ability to transition is in! Add an element of surprise to your indoor wedding with your accessories!

Outdoor: Nature-inspired jewelry will enhance your outdoor nuptials! Long wood-beaded necklaces, a delicate headband with rhinestone enhanced leaf filigree, rings with earthy tones and stones, are all great ways to incorporate your location with your own unique style! Add a pair of beaded sandals and you’ll be stunning!

Destination: For a beach wedding, our consultants suggest a fingertip or shorter veil with crystal beaded edging for weight. This will prevent your veil from blowing in the ocean breeze! Also, adding a pair of wedge sandals or foot jewelry really add a nice personal touch to the theme of your wedding.
