Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Accessorising is such a fun part of the journey, and getting it just right can truly elevate your bridal look. Here are a few key things to avoid:

• Less is More – Avoid overloading on accessories; you want them to complement your dress, not compete with it. If you have a detailed gown, opt for subtle, elegant pieces. If your dress is minimalist, a statement piece can work beautifully.
• Too Many Layers – Stick to one bracelet, a necklace (only if it complements your neckline), and earrings that match your dress’s style. Mixing too many pieces can look cluttered.
• Competing Headpieces – Choose one: veil, tiara, or decorative hairpins—picking too many can create a mismatched effect. Select the one that best suits your dress and wedding theme.
• Clashing Colours & Metals – Ensure your accessories harmonise with your gown and bridal party. A single pop of colour (e.g., shoes or a statement jewellery piece) works well, but too many competing tones can be distracting. Sticking to one metal (gold, silver, rose gold) keeps things cohesive.
• Forgetting to Tie It Together – Consider small details that subtly match your groom’s look, bridesmaids' dresses, or wedding theme for a polished and intentional aesthetic.

Above all, wear what makes you feel confident and beautiful! Accessories should enhance you and your dress, not overpower them.

Happy styling!!

They’re totally optional these days!

Some brides still love the tradition and do the garter toss, but many skip it entirely now.

It's kind-of fallen out of fashion because of how the guests, families and couples think about it - could feel a little cringe in the face of changes to societal views.

Honestly, it’s all about what makes you happy. If you like it, go for it!

If it feels a bit cringy or just not you, toss the idea instead and don’t worry about it at all.

Your wedding, your rules - you get to do what feels right for you and your partner ?

Traditionally, long veils pair beautifully with long dresses, and shorter veils suit shorter dresses - but rules are made to be broken!

A short dress with a giant mesh train can look playful and dramatic, and a long dress with a shorter veil or train can help avoid tangles, especially in the wind.

Ultimately, it’s your choice.

A helpful trick: take photos in your dress (front, back, and side) with a long, mid, and short veil—or even add them in Photoshop and swipe between them. If you can’t decide, try flipping a coin between two options. Notice how you feel: disappointed? Drop that one and decide between the remaining two. Your inner response is usually the best guide.

The veil you feel happiest and most confident in will shine through in your photos, make your day more relaxed, and leave you with beautiful memories ?
