A well-chosen accessory can transform your bridal look. From statement jewellery and micro veils to a chic hair pin, these are the details that will make it feel entirely yours.
Read on for the finishing touches our fashion team are currently obsessing over.
The tennis necklace
Reimagined by a new wave of contemporary designers - from Sophie Billie Brahe to Celine - the tennis necklace has evolved well beyond its jewellery-box origins. Perfect for those looking for an heirloom piece with a modern edge, wear it alone and let it do the talking.
Often the most overlooked bridal accessory, but essential at any warm-weather wedding. Avoid anything too trend-led and stick with a classic silhouette - a Ray-Ban, a soft cat-eye, a slim rectangular frame. We love Le Specs, Linda Farrow and these Bottega's.
No longer purely reserved for city weddings, mini veils can work beautifully in any setting. Sharp, directional and offering instant edge, wear with an ankle-length drop-waist gown, or pair with tailoring for a Bianca Jagger-esque vibe.
The statement shape for minimalist tastes, the drop earring delivers impact as well as polish. Sleek and seriously wearable - even beyond your wedding day - Alexis Bittar's Asterales Dangle earrings have made it onto our shortlist.
A bag on your wedding day should serve purely aesthetic purposes, carrying a lip kit at most. (The rest of your belongings should be taken care of by someone else, of course.) Nevertheless, a chic clutch - preferably animal print - is a must.
This season's most coveted layer, capes bring an ethereal yet still directional edge. This silk and chiffon cape is the perfect versatile accessory and can be styled three ways - over the shoulder, pushed back as a scarf, or asymmetrically draped across the shoulder.
A sculptural pin and an effortless french twist: is there anything more chic on your wedding day? As any good hair stylist will tell you, avoid freshly-washed hair for the day itself - second-day hair will stay put for much longer.
Worn alone on one wrist, a chunky sculptural metal bangle brings a contemporary edge to any bridal look. We love Dinosaur Designs for its bold, organic shapes while Panconesi and Completed Works have some amazing chunky standout pieces.
Make like a Fifth Avenue princess and use gloves to dial up the romance. We love Paula Rowan for bold and luxurious pairs, and the Queen’s glovemaker, Cornelia James, for a heritage moment. Just remember to remove for dinner.
