Accessorize It

Remember the lovely young ladies who we hope will look beautifully generic and will not upstage the bride? They’re sure to want to look their best on your special day as possible even as they try to stay within your theme. Why not help them along by giving them beautiful, matching accessories?

They are already wearing gowns in matching colors, maybe even matching styles. Adding matching accessories will complete their ensemble and help them look even more like bridesmaids. These can also be your gift to them as well for being part of your very special event.

For example, if you have a beach themed wedding you would probably dress your attendants in beautiful form fitting dresses in bold colors, much like they would wear in Hawaii. Maybe you’d have them wear sarongs. Add to the elegance with carefully chosen shell necklaces. There are many to choose from. Find sets that will really set off the beauty of your friends and are unique so that they can serve as keepsakes long after your nuptials are done.

Want to get more classy? Pearls are always a good choice. Every woman loves pearls. There is something about the luster and radiance of pearls that has captured the imagination and hearts of many individuals. Pearls are elegant and a truly feminine gift. A string of pearls is something that no female should be without. As a gift from you, they are priceless.

Pearls too expensive a gift? Not to worry. How about seed pearls or rice pearls instead. They have the luster of their more expensive counterparts yet are not too expensive. As an added bonus, they can be found in many, many colors from the familiar pearly white, to champagne, lilac, turquoise, blue, and pink just to name a few. You might even get some in the exact color of your theme. You can get them ready made or acquire them as beads and make your own accessories.

If you decided to give your ladies Roman styled gowns, how about giving them beautiful armbands to go with it. There are quite a number of elegantly shaped pieces that may perfectly match your theme. You may want to check if there are any that has your chosen flower as its design. Of course if there isn’t, you could always have it commissioned.

Don’t forget to think about the hair accessories as well. A simple wreath may be all you need to make your ladies look even more maidenly. With the right pieces, your bridesmaids will look the epitome of spring or summer.

Of course you may prefer to give them the jeweled look for their hair as well. How about some jeweled hair pins? They are easy to make if you can’t find any and are an old favorite. Their beautiful tresses will be a foil for the beautiful jewels gleaming in their hair, the mark of your special favor.

Accessories complete your outfit. They add that finishing touch to your ensemble but should not be overdone. Keep in mind, here less is more. Try to keep them as coordinated as you do the rest of the parts of your wedding.
