You’ve said “yes” to the dress, which is a huge deal — but your wedding day look is far from complete!

From your shoes to your veil, you’ll want to buy at least one statement piece to go with your gown. Thanks to social media platforms, such as Pinterest and Instagram, brides have access to a vast range of ideas to elevate their wedding look to the next level.

Intricate head jewelry.

Head pieces, head bands, hair combs and hair pins are popular among brides right now. In fact, head jewelry will continue to be a wedding trend in 2022.

The statement piece can be elaborately made with pearls, Swarovski crystals or rhinestones. They can adorn the side or the top of your head — and come in all sorts of sizes and shapes.

Choose bold head jewelry so that you won’t need to go on the hunt for any other accessories, such as earrings, if you don’t want to.

Bridal booties.

Brides are typically expected to wear heels. So when they show up wearing something else on their feet — that’s a statement in and of itself.

Bridal booties are not only a unique bridal accessory — they can be comfy too.

Choose from lace, sheer, satin or embellished booties. Don’t be shy to pick a color other than ivory or white, such as champagne, gold, silver or even a shade for your “something blue.”

Bridal halo.

Tiaras were once all the craze among brides, and although some still want to wear the traditional crown — a bridal halo is more delicate, whimsical and modern.

It’s also the perfect alternative to real flowers because they of course, last longer.

The halos can be paired with your veil, and make for a soft bridal look.

Personalized shoes.

Personalize your bridal shoes with your name, spouse’s name and wedding date. They’re not only a sweet touch to your wedding look, but also a wedding souvenir that you can use again and again.

Some couples like to personalize their shoes on the soles where it’s hidden or plastered for all to see. If you don’t want anything permanent, you can also add removable stickers.

Converse specializes in personalizing its sneakers for weddings, but you can find other online shops that add their own unique touches.

Shoulder jewelry.

Want to stand out and shine on your wedding day? This is one of our favorite statement pieces of all time, because it’s so untraditional and uncommon on wedding aisles.

We love that shoulder jewelry becomes an extension of wedding dresses, and can elevate a look from predictable to glam.

You can choose simple shoulder jewelry or a cascading flow of pearls, lace, rhinestones and chains. Explore this unique bridal accessory if you really want to make a statement.

Earring climbers.

Pair your dress with dazzling ear climbers. The earrings can climb from your lobe and halfway up the ear or you can find climbers that are a little more subtle and only climb up the lobe.

They’re far from the traditional stud or drop earrings that brides wear when they tie the knot.

Floral wedding veil.

Choosing the right wedding veil can be difficult. You’ll want to pick a veil that accentuates your wedding dress, and doesn’t hide its beauty. Veils come in all sizes. They can be embroidered, lacy or raw.

If you’re looking to make a statement on your wedding day, consider a veil with pressed floral appliqués to add another layer of dimension to your look.

You can decide on whether you want a field of flowers or a scatter of petals on your veil.

Cape.

This is the modern alternative to the traditional veil for brides who like the look of flowing tulle, but don’t necessarily want to wear a veil on their head or over their face.

Bridal capes are worn over a wedding dress and can come in different lengths and colors. They can be simple or dramatically embellished. Some brides wear capes that clasp around the neck or attach to their dress at the shoulders.

Wearing a cape will certainly have your guests talking about your unique choice.

Blue wedding veil.

For your “something blue,” why not wear a veil that’s a shade of baby or powder blue. If you’re looking for the confidence to break away from the traditional ivory or white veil, you can choose a more subdued look. There are bridal boutiques that make ombre veils — which start at the end with one color and gradually blend into another hue.

Boho bouquet.

Boho bouquets are a gorgeous touch for bohemian or rustic weddings. They give off a more natural and contemporary feel that strays away from the stuffiness that some weddings can have.

Boho bouquets are typically made of loose pampas grass, greenery and wildflowers. The unpredictability of these bridal bouquets will definitely turn heads when you enter your wedding ceremony.

They’re typically a lot cheaper than traditional bridal bouquets too.
