The three key words in wedding attire this season are: accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Whereas brides are simplifying their wedding dresses, they are more than making up for it with stunning and creative accessories. Your personality will shine through on your wedding day, when you show up in a stunning dress accented with unique and stylish jewelry.

Looking for jewelry inspiration? Here are some combinations to try:

• Use treasured family heirlooms. Pair your grandmother’s brooch with your mother’s string of pearls for a vintage look. For a more modern feel, combine the bracelet that your fiancé gave you for Christmas with your favorite earrings.
• Be daring and bold. Use stunning jewelry sets to really stand out! Find costume jewelry pieces that match your wedding colors, and have fun with it! Chunky rings, wide bracelets, and choker necklaces are all stunning pieces that will make you the center of attention.
• Pull it together. Jewelry is not the only way to accessorize. Wear a captivating shawl to keep you warm in the winter months. Add long, glam theater gloves for a dramatic effect. Bold, colorful wedding shoes can add a splash of color when they peek out below your ballgown.
• Get creative. With a theme wedding, you can really add additional details to your wedding dress. Add a classy parasol for a spring or summer wedding. Multicultural weddings can include traditional hairpieces and accessories to celebrate your heritage.
