1. Remember your own styleYou want to feel like a more beautiful version yourself on your wedding day so make sure that you pick a style that you will be confident wearing. Try to choose styles that you know will suit you as your wedding photos will last forever. Use our helpful style guide for guidance After you have narrowed your choice of accessories down to your favourite two or three ask a friend to help you pick the one that they think will suit you the best.
2. Know the optionsThere are so many options when it comes to wedding accessories, styles that you will not have worn before such as a tiara, and some that you may not have even heard of such as a hair vine.
A hair vine is the perfect choice for a bride who wants to add sparkle to the back of the hair or to wear something other than a tiara. Hair vines are perfect for weddings and are suited to long or short hair styles. They can either wrap around or be pinned into the hair.They can be placed around a bun or woven into a plait. They can even be worn as a headband by attaching a ribbon to the loops at each end and tied at the back of your head under your hair line. There are several photos of how to wear hair vines on our website.
Take the time to look at all the different options – you may think that you want one particular style and then be drawn to something totally different, go with what ever you like the most and don’t be restricted by tradition.
3. Consider the details of your dressConsider the details of the dress to help you select the right wedding accessories. As a general rule a more detailed gown works well with simpler jewellery, while a plainer gown suits more decorative pieces. Look at the embellishment on your dress. Crystals, pearls, beads and diamantes can all be used in your jewellery to co-ordinate you look. Strapless dresses are suited to all styles of jewellery; a sweetheart neckline can be accentuated with a drop style necklace, dresses with thicker straps or one asymmetric strap would suit statement earrings instead of a necklace.
4. Consider your hair styleHaving a good idea of a hairstyle will usually help in deciding on the right hair accessories. One of the most popular looks right now is the romantic half up - half down hair style. This style works well with tiaras, combs, pins, hair flowers and barrettes.
For short wedding hair consider a headband, a cluster of hair pins or a hair vine tied with ribbon.
Many of our designs are versatile enough to work with different hairstyles. Unlike mass produced tiaras, all of the bands that we use for our handmade tiaras and headbands are flexible enough for your hairdresser to shape to your own head and will be very comfortable to wear.
5. Something old, something newFor sentimental reasons brides often like to wear a necklace from their Mother or Grandmother for sentimental reasons. If you are doing this why not have earrings made to match? We offer a bespoke design service usually at no extra cost. Having something made ensures that it matches pieces that you already have whilst bringing some of your own style to your look.
6. Ask if the company can customise designs for you.
To get the wedding accessories of your dreams why not commission a piece or have something customised? Many companies including our own offer this service and you can have as little or as much input as you like. Incorporating crystals in you favourite colour or the colour of your birthstone is a nice way to make a design more personal to you. We have made everything from bespoke crowns and brow bands to the simplest earrings for customers who had an idea that we were able to design and make for them. When your guests ask about your accessories you will be able to tell them that you helped to design them your self!

7. Use celebrity inspirationIf there is a celebrity whose style you admire think about replicating that in your wedding look. The type of chandelier earrings that Beyonce favours would add a touch of glamour to your look. The Mama Mia movie has created a big bridal trend for floral hair accessories which can be used in your own wedding style, or why not look closer to home? Denise Van Outen wore a beautiful headband in her recent wedding. Our Eternity hair vine has been a favourite with brides since it was launched last year and can be worn with a ribbon tie for a similar look.
8. Remember that pieces can be worn again Remember when buying your wedding jewellery that many pieces can be worn again – you don’t get the opportunity to wear a tiara everyday, but necklaces and earrings can be worn on your honeymoon and anniversaries. Even ornate hair combs that are worn on top of or to the back of your hair for your wedding day can be worn again tucked into the side a neat chignon hair style for future formal events.
There is a vast array of wedding jewellery available to choose from which is all made from a variety of materials. By ensuring that you choose accessories that are made of good quality materials they will last the test of time and won't let you down on the day.
