It has been SO long since I talked about my wedding details - I know our wedding was over a year ago. But there are still so many pretty things to talk about!!
Once the dress and the veil were chosen, the next step was getting the right accessories. I've already told you about my long and exhausting hunt for my glacier beauties! With the shoes and my belt chosen, all I needed was jewelry to match, so my mom, my MOH Melissa and I went to TWD for an accessory appointment! I knew I was looking for bigger earrings, that would coordinate with my belt. I tried on a few {gorgeous} pairs from Haute Bride - but they weren't quite right. Then my mom actually pointed out a pair from Maria Elena Headpieces. I put them on, and they were perfect! They were big and blingy, but I liked how they had so many intricate details. The picture quality isn't great, but I took this photo so you could see that they sparkled just as much from the back as they did from the front!
My mom had commented before the appointment that something for my hair might be nice - so I asked the stylist to suggest a hair piece that would go with the look. When I put this one on, Melissa and my mom fell in love and insisted I get it as well! It was just enough extra sparkle to add some detail to my hair, which was otherwise going to be very simple, just curled with a little bit pulled back. Here's all my sparkle together, minus the belt:
The day I picked everything up from TWD it was like a better version of Christmas. I had my hairpiece and earrings, PLUS the 7 pairs of earrings for my bridesmaids! That is a LOT of sparkle in one little bag :)
I loved the way all of my accessories helped tie my look together, and made me feel absolutely amazing on our wedding day.
Originally, I wasn't sure that the hair piece was necessary... I didn't know how much you would see it and if it would really make a huge difference....but my mom had loved it so much I'd agreed to wear it. Looking back - mom really does know best!!! It was the perfect simple and beautiful addition to my look, and made a huge difference in some of my favorite pictures of us that day!
How did you decide what accessories to add to your bridal look? Did you pick them yourself, or bring friends shopping with you?? For someone who usually keeps my accessories to a minimum, I had SO much fun choosing these details for our wedding day!
