I'm worried my simple dress is too plain for my colourful wedding – how do I add some fun to it with accessories?
Firstly, your dress is what you've chosen, and the style obviously suits you so don't panic it's too plain. Gone are the days when bridal looks have to be white and boring; adding colour to your outfit is so simple and will help you make a statement to set your look apart and tie in with your theme. You can add as much or as little colour as you like, depending on how brave you're feeling!
The trend for colourful accessories has really taken off this year, and you can add a flash of colour in many ways from hair accessories and jewellery to shoes or even a striking veil. The trick is not to over-accessorise. For example, you can add some drama with statement earrings and keep your headpiece simple or vice versa.
We hand-craft a beautiful range of hair accessories, which are beaded in a bright array of hues. The main thing is to have fun with colour and don't be shy – rock that statement necklace or rainbow-infused hairpiece for a real wow factor on our special day.
