Completing the Look {Finding the Perfect Accessory}
November 2, 2012
I am so excited to be blogging every week until our January wedding! Since we are about 2.5 months away from the big day, the very big items like venue, dj, photographer and florist are all completed and now it is all about the details. The details really can be overwhelming but we are trying to just have fun!
I am currently loving the idea of adding an extra special accessory to my “bridal look”. My fiancé, Eric, has been amazing through the planning process and I truly think he has great taste (He likes to remind me all the time that he is the one who picked out our wedding invitations). We have made every decision together as a team except my dress which is why I am so excited for our first look. Eric has no idea what my dress looks like or any details of my “look” for the day.
Some ideas I am currently obsessed with:
Cardigans
I love how you can tie in one of your wedding colors by just slipping on a cardigan!
Seriously in love with this sequin cardigan/jacket look!
Hair Bling
The headband and the bun…so chic!
I love this look. It reminds me of a more subtle take on Anne Hathaway’s headpiece.
Personalized Rings
Your engagement ring and wedding band will still be center stage with these delicate bands. I love how you can stack them and they would be a great bridesmaid gift too! (Plus they are only $35!)
Would you wear any of these accessories on your big day?
Oooh, I LOVE all of these! I’m crazy for cardigans over the gown and those rings are so fun. Thanks for sharing!

[...] Last week, I talked about picking out unique bridal accessories that can add a little somethin’ somethin’ to your bridal “look.” So I thought it might be fun for this week to be about grooms and their wedding look! Doesn’t it seem like their “look” is waaaay easier to put together than ours?! It probably is; however, I thought picking out a tuxedo would be a breeze and surprisingly, it wasn’t as easy as I thought! Going into the tuxedo appointment, I thought for sure that I didn’t want the guys to wear vests. It just seemed too “prom-y” for me plus I was obsessed with this photo! (The grey and the black, the ties, no vests….perfection!) Source Eric wanted to wear a vest and convinced me to go in with an open mind. When he came out in his black tux with the black vest, I LOVED it! So maybe it is a little bit like wedding dress shopping, sometimes, the style you thought you would hate ends up being just right for you! The thing I have always loved about accessories is they can add character and personality to a rather plain outfit. Here is a list of some accessory options I am loving for grooms right now! Suspenders Anyone who knows my fiancé knows that suspenders are not his style at all but I do love this look! Source Socks Such a great way to incorporate one of your wedding colors! Source Fun socks don’t have to be just for the groom either! What a fun groomsmen gift! I found a lot of fun sock options on BoldSocks.com and they are affordable ($9-$35)! Source Cuff Links Eric and I are incorporating scrabble and other games in some of our wedding decor and we absolutely will be doing this! Love! Source Boutonniere Cotton boutonniere?! Who would have thought! Source Lots of fun unique boutonniere looks! I am; however, questioning the penguin. I think there is a time and place for animals at a wedding. (Another blog post, maybe?) Source Is your groom wearing something fun or unique? Do you love/hate any of these looks? Until Next Week! Jess Follow my wedding inspiration board on Pinterest! Tweet me @jessdawnd Pin It [...]
