How to Choose the Right Finishing Touches for Your Bridal Style

How to Choose the Right Finishing Touches for Your Bridal Style

At Southern Charm Bridal & Dress Boutique, we believe the magic is in the details - and we’re here to help you sparkle, shine, and stun all the way down the aisle. So how do you choose the right accessories for your unique bridal style? Let’s dive in!


Start With Your Dress
Your gown sets the tone for everything else - so let’s begin there. Whether you’re rocking something sleek and minimal or full-on fairytale, your accessories should enhance your look, not compete with it.


If you chose the dreamy, vintage-inspired charm of the Justin Alexander Sincerity Style #44494, with its scoop neck and long blouson sleeves, opt for soft, romantic details. Think a chapel-length veil with delicate lace edging and a simple pearl drop earring to echo that timeless elegance.

 


For our brides wearing the sparkling A-line “Jenna” gown from Justin Alexander, with flutter sleeves and beaded embroidery, a beaded hair vine or crystal-encrusted headband can echo the glimmer in your gown and frame your face beautifully. Add a dainty bracelet or a layered earring for just the right amount of shine.

 


Match Your Vibe
Your bridal style should reflect your personality. Are you a modern minimalist? A boho queen? A classic romantic? Let your accessories be an extension of your vibe.


Boho babes, meet “Fletcher” by Madison James - a cotton lace and pearl ballgown with a lace-up back and scoop neckline. Pair it with a floral crown or leafy gold comb, soft curls, and barefoot-beautiful vibes (or at least shoes that look like it). Add some natural pearl earrings or a bracelet for an earthy touch.

 


Sophisticated brides, you’ll fall in love with “Chesca” by Sophia Tolli Premiere. This fit and flare gown with a sexy sheer bodice and illusion back calls for accessories that are equally sleek and sultry. A bold, cathedral-length veil with lace appliques, crystal shoulder-dusting earrings, and maybe even a sparkly cuff bracelet will turn up the wow.

 


Embrace Your Inner Royal
You want a gown that makes you feel like the queen you are? We’ve got you. But what’s a queen without her crown?


Say hello to “Kirby” by Sophia Tolli. With her draped sweetheart bodice, off-the-shoulder straps, and dramatic ballgown skirt, Kirby practically begs for a regal touch. Think tiaras, cathedral veils, and statement chandelier earrings. This is your moment - go big and go glam.

 


Or consider Lillian West Style #66365 - fitted, lacy, and dripping with vintage sophistication. The high mandarin neckline and keyhole back call for an updo, bold stud earrings, and maybe even a soft, classic mantilla veil. Let your hair and makeup highlight the neckline, and let your accessories add just enough intrigue.

 


Keep Balance in Mind
Accessories should complement your gown, not overwhelm it. If your dress is heavily embellished, like the Diana gown by Abella with its shimmer organza and beaded sweetheart bodice, keep your accessories on the simpler side - maybe a soft fingertip veil and a clean updo with subtle sparkle in the hair.

 


But if you chose a more minimal style like Justin Alexander Sincerity Style #44480, with its sleek crepe fabric and lace illusion neckline, you have a blank canvas for bold accessories. Think vintage-inspired earrings, a statement belt, or a stunning cathedral-length veil to elevate the look.

 


Don’t Forget the Practical Touches
Your finishing touches don’t have to be just pretty - they can be functional, too! Sleeves, straps, overskirts, and belts can all transform a look from ceremony to reception. Want two looks in one? Add a detachable overskirt to a fit-and-flare silhouette or a lace topper to a strapless gown for the ceremony, then ditch it for dancing.


And of course, don’t forget about your “something borrowed” or “something blue” - a delicate hairpin, a silk ribbon tied around your bouquet, or vintage earrings from a loved one can be the perfect sentimental accessory.


Whether you’re a lace-loving romantic, a modern goddess, or somewhere in between, Southern Charm Bridal & Dress Boutique has everything you need to put the perfect finishing touches on your bridal look. From veils and belts to earrings, headpieces, and beyond, we’ll help you tie it all together with style, sparkle, and Southern charm.
