The Best Accessories for Every Silhouette
A-Line dresses are a bridal favorite for a reason. This silhouette is flattering on every body type and size. You can accentuate your waist while still feeling roomy enough to tear up the dance floor all night long. With this classic style you can definitely play up your accessories.
If your dress is a crepe, silk, or plain fabric a beaded belt can add a beautiful touch of sparkle without being overpowering. This dress style is versatile and easy to accessorize. As the silhouette also lengths your legs we love a long drop earring to accentuate your neckline as well.

Each piece has a pearl accent and gold tones for a cohesive look!
Mermaid gowns are ultra flattering for curvy and hourglass figures but they can work for anyone. If you choose this lovely silhouette there are so many options when it comes to accessories. You can use a belt to break up an overall pattern or lace detailing or accent your waist with a simple silk sash.
A stunning hair piece can also bring together your look. We love a hair comb with your veil for that added hit of glitter and glam. Go for subtle studs or a dramatic drop earring to finish off the look.

A Ball Gown is a timeless and classic choice. Sure to make you feel like a princess we love this silhouette for every bride. If you chose strapless then a dainty necklace and dangling earrings can be an elegant choice. A belt cinched at your waist will help accentuate your natural curves as well.
Go for a full glam look with intricately beaded earrings and a halo hair piece. No matter what you select your ball gown will be elevated by the right accessories. Wear what makes you feel confident and true to yourself.

A Trumpet gown is a subtle but elevated choice for brides who loved the mermaid style but want a less dramatic fit. This silhouette hugs your curves in all the right places but is roomy and totally wearable. Dance all night in this style without any discomfort.
For this style we say go with a minimalist lariat necklace and matching earrings for a cohesive look. To match accessories focus on the materials. If you picked gold earrings then it's probably best to go with gold for your other accessories. If you like pearl then make sure your accessories have a pearl accent somewhere to tie it all together.

This comfortable and modern style is perfect for petite brides or to give a tall bride more dimension. Keep accessories simple with this style for the ideal look. We love this silhouette because it's easy wearing and fun to accessorize.
