Must Have Wedding Dress Accessories

"You have picked your wedding dress... now what? Now you must pick the right wedding dress accessories to go with it!"

"Everything you wear or carry, while wearing your wedding dress on your big day, must harmonize with your gown, the formality and theme of your wedding!"

If you purchase your gown from a bridal store, you can generally pick out some of these items while there. This is very convenient because they have everything from the headpiece, to the shoes, and everything in between, that will go with your dress.

Of course you are going to pay a premium price for this convenience. But you don't have to! You can go to a department store and buy some of these things for a lot less. Or you can order all of this stuff online and save money in some cases.

"Below is a list of what you might need, with links to additional tips and suggestions for how to pick these items."

While wedding dress shopping, you may have tried on these accessories when trying on bridal gowns. You should now have a good idea of what you want. But  again instead of purchasing everything on the spot, go shop for them somewhere else for a better selection and to save money.

You could save yourself a few hundred dollars by doing this. If you can't find what you want online or locally for less... then go back and purchase what you tried on at the bridal shop.

Remember... what you wear under your dress has as much impact as your outer accessories. So don't leave your wedding dress accessories for a last minute wedding shopping trip. 'When you do that it is more likely you will forget something and could end up with a thrown together look!"

Now when it comes to wedding dress accessories, not every bride will need or want every thing above. But what is listed is essentially what most brides need. Below are some additional items you might want to consider:

• Gloves add an elegant, sophisticated look to a gown. Perfect look for the ceremony!
