When most people are planning the wedding day, they typically focus on the larger parts. That is, they focus on the dress, the suits, the decor, and even the floral arrangements on every single table. However, if you are looking for a simple way to unify the theme of your wedding, or even set an emotional tone for the event, looking at the accessories can help you to create a theme that feels cohesive.
It can be hard to decipher exactly what an accessory is in relation to a wedding, so here you will be guided through five accessories that can help you to tie your wedding day together without necessarily being overstated.
Coordinated Jewelry
Of course, a core part of the wedding outfit for the couple who are saying their vows is the jewellery. Jewellery is more than a simple ornamentation, and it can be worth looking into having jewellery made from matching metals or even complementary designs, which will help to create unity in the photos.
If you are getting married at an incredibly personalised wedding venue, you can even look to match the style of the jewellery to the surrounding setting, which again will help tie the look together. If you are aiming for a sentimental wedding theme and want to incorporate family heirloom pieces such as pendants or cufflinks, you can explore having the groomsmen’s cufflinks or even the bridesmaids’ necklaces designed in the same style.
Statement Hairpieces
For the ladies, it is also worth looking at statement hair pieces such as veils, combs, tiaras, or even floral crowns, which can influence the wedding’s aesthetic. For the bride, having something like a lace-trimmed veil can reflect the detail in the gown, or a gold and pearl-accented comb can match the jewellery worn by the bride.
Hairpieces can also enhance the storytelling aspect of the day or the theme. For example, a boho floral crown will complement rustic wedding décor, and a sleek crystal tiara will be better aligned with a glamorous theme.
Personalized Vow Books
Many couples are investing in vow books for stylish reasons as well as practical ones. Aside from giving couples a place to put their vows, these books add charm and can be colour-matched or theme-matched for an intimate touch. If you are able to match the vow book to wedding invitations, as well as have the cover of the book embossed with your initials, this can add a touch that may be well remembered and will help to stir up nostalgia in years to come.
A Signature Fragrance
Yes, you read that correctly!
As you are getting personalised hairstyles, dresses, and cufflinks, why not invest in a signature fragrance for your wedding day? Scent is one of the most powerful memory triggers, and choosing a scent for you and your partner can help you to relive your wedding day long after the celebration is over.
Many couples opt for floral scents in the spring and summer or deeper, more musky scents in the cooler months. Why not opt for something personal, such as perfume or cologne that you wore on your first date?
In the same way that accessories make an outfit, they can also make your wedding day, so take your time to choose them carefully!
