Accessories are extremely important when you’re choosing any wedding dress,
but even more so when your dress is informal. Finding the right shoes and jewelry
to go perfect with your informal wedding dress can be a challenging task, but
the right accessories can make your overall look turn out beautifully. In many
cases, brides who opt for informal wedding dresses don’t necessarily dress in
all white, so finding accessories in off-white, taupe, pearl, and beige tones
may accent the dress well. Diamonds are always a great accessory, and they can
also provide a nice contrast, since the dress will not be extremely elaborate.
You could also wear your favorite stone, a piece or pieces of jewelry that have
been passed down through generations in your family, or even your birth stone.
However, remember that for occasions like these, less is usually more. Choosing
one piece of jewelry to be the central ‘decoration’ for the body, with smaller,
matching pieces is usually best.
What about Shoes?
As far as shoes go, make sure that you choose shoes that go well with the
entire look that you’ve chosen for your wedding. Open-toe shoes or strappy
sandals go well with dresses that have ruffled skirts or splits; stiletto-type
shoes or pumps look good with A-lined or more form fitting dresses. Make sure
that you’re shoes are comfortable enough for you to stand in for long periods
of time, and make sure that the shoes make you look even better in the dress
you’ve chosen. You can even choose shoes with diamond embellishments to match
your jewelry. This way, your informal wedding dress can be fairly simple, but
the accessories will make your outfit especially elegant.
You can find informal wedding dresses at department stores like Macy’s or
Bloomingdale’s, along with accents for your wedding dress, like shawls, and
purses to make your special day complete.
