Your wedding day will undoubtedly be one of the most memorable and special days of your life, as you celebrate the love you have for your partner with your nearest and dearest ones. In order to make the process stress-free and uncomplicated, it is important to prepare some important items before your big day that are essential for any bride. We have compiled a list of our favorite five items brides should have on their wedding day, ranging from jewelry, to the perfect bouquet, to the dream dress. Of course, there are many must-haves for newlyweds, however, these ones we believe are non-negotiable and are vital for blushing brides!
Dazzling jewelry
Jewelry is one of those accessories that can be totally versatile and personal to you. Whether you're a bride who absolutely loves dripping in jewels, or a simplistic bride who prefers to stick to the basics, wedding rings are an essential part of any ceremony, signifying the commitment and devotion you have for your significant other. Rings, as a circle, resemble the eternal love you will forever have. Therefore, it is integral you spend time seeking and perfecting your dream wedding bands in order to make this moment during your vows unforgettable. These stunning wedding rings made for our lovely bride Ava, and her beloved Connor, created by Anueva Jewelry, are without-a-doubt classic and timeless!
Other jewelry pieces, such as earrings, necklaces and bracelets, can also look elegant and glamorous, and are another dreamy way of complementing your bridal style without being too overwhelming. Whether you're a silver seeker, or a golden girl, dainty pieces such as pearl necklaces, or sparkly earrings should not be overlooked when designing your perfect bridal aesthetic!
Flowers and floral bouquet
Flowers and floral bouquets are another key element that add color, feeling and character to your wedding look. They can bring elegance, warmth and texture, making it an important component as you glide down the aisle. Whether you prefer a pop of color with a bright bouquet of flowers, like hydrangeas or dahlias, or you gravitate towards more muted floral tones, like light pink peonies or roses, the idyllic floral bouquet should reflect your true style, and will most certainly look beautiful paired with your gown. This bright and bold bouquet looks dreamy against our ultra-feminine Belva mermaid wedding dress, which was beautifully taken by the talented Betty Globa. Blues, greens and ivory hues contrast stunningly against the nude and white tones and beading details.
Luxurious bridal robe
Another component that can often be forgotten about is finding the ideal bridal robe to wear while getting ready. Bridal robes are an essential piece to your wedding wardrobe, as they provide comfort and luxury, and look great in photos! They also add an extra special feminine touch to your bridal party or gathering before the wedding commences! We love how they can make brides feel utterly gorgeous and beautiful on the most important day of their life; getting ready should not be overlooked as another precious step to becoming a Mrs. Our Isabella bridal lace robe kimono is the perfect elegant cover-up to wear while getting ready. With a light-weight, diaphanous fit, and luxurious lace details, this floaty piece is ideal for feeling comfortable and glamorous in while getting your hair and make-up ready!
Timeless bridal veil or cover-up
Once you have secured the dream dress, and finalized your make-up, hair, shoes and accessories, the next step is to think about any finishing touches to take your bridal look to the next level. Veils and capes are a romantic addition to your look, and another fabulous way of complementing your dress. Veils are a classic, timeless bridal piece that has been worn by brides for centuries. Susan Waggoner, a wedding historian, said the veil is the oldest part of the bridal ensemble, that dates back to ancient times. Therefore, wedding veils are an integral, unmissable part to any bridal look! Whether you opt for a short, fingertip length veil, or a dramatic cathedral length veil, you will most definitely find a style to incorporate into your look! Our Tyana mantilla lace veil perfectly balances romance with femininity, which was also captured by Betty Globa's lens. Dainty floral accents add a slight whimsical and girly look, while the intricate lace details create a timeless, effortless aesthetic. We believe a bridal look is not complete without a wedding veil; it is simply the icing on top of the cake!
However, there are plenty of alternatives to veils if you prefer a less traditional look. Wedding capes are becoming huge in the bridal word, and are growing in popularity amongst fashion-forward brides. Capes are essentially modernized versions of veils, as they similarly provide coverage, texture and an extra layer to your gown, without the potential for blowing in your face, or getting caught in your hair. Our Maeve chiffon bridal cape looks utterly mesmerizing on our real bride, Ava. Shrouded in the softest chiffon fabric, this floaty, airy addition looks magical paired with any bridal gown.
The perfect wedding dress
And lastly, arguably the most essential part of any brides wedding day, is the perfect dream dress! Finding your ideal ensemble often takes time, effort, and can be exhausting trailing around shops along the high-street. This is why custom-made dresses are the most magical choice for brides! We tailor the gown to you, by ensuring the details are exactly what you envisioned, the silhouette is the perfect fit, and the fabric is of the highest quality. Our Inaya lace and chiffon wedding dress, wonderfully captured here by Lena Plotnikova, is an effortlessly romantic, elegant and graceful A-line gown, boasting an illusion V-neckline, and lace and crystal embellishments. You deserve to feel your utmost confident, beautiful and elegant self on your big day; why not reflect your uniqueness in your very own bespoke, custom gown?
As mentioned earlier, there are no doubt even more essentials brides need for their wedding day, however, these top five items are our personal favorites that should not be missed!
