Consider Finding your Accessories and Veil the Same Day as Your Gown

Because wedding planning is so overwhelming, we always encourage brides to find their accessories and gown on the same day. There are so many big and small details of the wedding that distract brides from finalizing their bridal style. Another idea is to book a follow up appointment a week or two after finding your gown to revisit accessories and veil options. Your gown will still be fresh in your mind and you will be solely focus on completing your bridal look.


Match your Veil to your Dress

Focus on the aesthetic and details of your wedding gown. Whether your gown is clean and chic or intricate and detailed, there are so many different veils to pair with any gown. If you have a detailed gown, a clean simple veil or matching veil with the same details are perfect. Selecting the perfect veil is all about your own personal style, if you love details then wear a veil with extra bling! However, if you love a clean and classic look, stay with something simple.

Allow your bridal stylist to make veil recommendations

A wedding veil and engagement ring are the two top accessories on wedding day. While some women don’t think they are the ‘veil kinda girl’, allow your bridal stylist to style you and show you different veil options. There are some veils that are designed to specifically match gowns while there are classic veils that pair perfectly with a range of gowns. Your bridal stylist will be able to show you different options that compliment your gown perfectly.
