Stop Wearing Gold Hoops on Your Wedding Day

It’s not that gold hoops aren’t gorgeous. They’re timeless classics. But your wedding day deserves accessories that feel just as special as what you wear to your wedding. The right jewelry, hairpieces, or finishing touches can elevate your look from simply beautiful to truly unforgettable.

Why Accessories Matter

Your wedding day isn’t the time to play it safe. Just like you’d style any outfit with intention, your wedding look deserves thoughtful details. Don’t be afraid to accessorize your jewelry and styling choices are what make your look truly your own.

Elevate Your Hair

Accessories aren’t just for your veil or earrings. Your hair is the perfect place to add personality. Consider wearing a hairclip in your updo or clipping your curls back with a flower from your florist. Some florist have add on where you can get a hairpiece made. A little baby's breath in the hair never did a girl wrong.

• Floral touches: Ask your florist about adding a custom hairpiece, or tuck in delicate sprigs of baby’s breath.

• Clips & bows: A chic bow or a crystal hairclip can highlight your updo or hold back curls.

• Sparkling pins: Add gem-tipped bobby pins for a subtle shimmer. (You can make pins with gems on them that you can weave into your hair. A quick trip to the craft store some hot glue and your most crafty friends guidance.)

Don’t Forget the Bridal Party

Accessories aren’t just for the bride. Matching or coordinating details for your bridal party can tie your theme together beautifully:

• Matching flower crowns

• Jewelry from the same collection

• Coordinated hair accessories

These little touches bring cohesion to your bridal party’s look while still letting everyone’s personality shine.

Elevate a Suit with a classic Piece

A great gesture to your partner could be getting a nice watch to wear on the wedding day. Get the people wearing suits in your wedding to accessories with a tie clip or cufflinks. They make tons of variations so you can get something silly or something more classic like a gemstone or intricate design.

• Cufflinks: From playful nods to favorite teams to classic gemstones, cufflinks add personality to any suit.

• Pocket squares: A fun design can liven up a simple suit and also make a thoughtful groomsmen gift. Consider matching initials or colors that tie into your theme.

• Tie bars & lapel pins: Small but mighty details that bring polish to formalwear.

Modern Takes on Classic Jewelry

Held on to the classics? Just elevated basics. Adding a pearl or a gem that matches your theme to your jewelry is easier than you think. An elevated stud with a mixed metals moment or a drippy earing.

Looking for a statement piece but not sure what to pair it with? Now this is were it is important to remember that their are no rules. You can wear a statement necklace and a matching gem stud. Or statement earing and no necklace.

• Swap basic studs for pearls, mixed metals, or delicate drop earrings.

• Choose a statement necklace with simple studs, or let bold earrings shine with no necklace.

• Don’t forget your wrists: a dainty bracelet or elegant watch can be just as striking as earrings. Watches are also totally overlooked as an accessory for brides but can be apart of your daily jewelry with your ring.

• Wear a back necklace or a lariat back necklace: Consider wearing a necklace that cascades down your back. Drawing attention to your back can be just elegant as it can be sexy.

Final Thought

You’ll probably only wear your wedding dress once, but your jewelry and accessories can live on for years. Invest in pieces that not only elevate your wedding day look but also carry your love story into everyday life.
