Modern Bridal Glamour: Elevating Your Wedding Look with Brooch Pins, Silver Statement Earrings, and Headpieces

How are brides supposed to stand out as unique on their wedding day? If you’re a bride looking to do just that, there are so many ways to elevate your wedding look for your special day- which by the way you should elevate your look, it is your day afterall. 

Well, how do you elevate the look on such a formal occasion? You can accessorize! Brooch pins, statement earrings, and headpieces are a great way to add personalization and style to your wedding outfit. 

Brooches 

Hey, I know what you’re thinking- brooches, isn’t that what my grandma used to wear? Yes, yes it is. Yet, brooches are a timeless piece, literally- dating back to ancient times as a way to pin clothing together so it wouldn’t fall.

Today, brooches are making a comeback as a way to elevate a piece of clothing. While they can be worn for any occasion, bridal brooches are a way to add flare to your dress, veil, or shawl. 

Brooches can vary greatly in looks nowadays. You can find beautiful gem pieces full of color and brightness or you can find cloth pieces to match your wedding colors. Either way you’re bound to find something that matches your wedding theme or colors. 

If you’re lucky, maybe your grandma has a beautiful vintage brooch which can be your “something borrowed”. 

Silver Statement Earrings – A Bold, Chic Choice

Statement earrings are here to do just that- make a statement, be bold, make their presence known, and be the drama. The most dramatic statement earrings are known as chandelier earrings. These types of earrings are tiered with gems, much like a real chandelier. 

Chandelier earrings are the most formal and bold type of earring for a bride but there are also hoop earrings and geometric shape earrings if being the boldest is not your style. 

What type of earring you choose will also depend on what type of dress you have. A strapless dress would look best with big bold dramatic chandelier earrings. Yet, that would be overwhelming on a high neck dress which would be better suited for hoop earrings. If your dress is full of intricate beading maybe chandelier earrings would clash too much so you should try geometric earrings. 

Remember, if you are going to wear dangling beautiful statement earrings- let them be the statement. A chandelier earring will disappear in hair that is down, long, flowing, and wavy. To show off these earrings, make sure you put your hair in an updo. 

Bridal Headpieces for the Modern Bride

Speaking of hair, how can you make your hair stand out? With beautiful statement headpieces. A bridal headpiece can complete a look by elevating your hairstyle, adding your own personal touch, and by adding dimension to your head. 

Headpieces need to compliment whatever hairstyle you have chosen. A flower crown would go well with flowing waves or curls for an ethereal look. While a crystal tiara would look good with an updo. Headbands would be great for half up, half down looks or for brides with short hair. 

Headpieces give your head just that extra touch. They add texture and dimension. The headpiece also completes your hairstyle. If paired correctly, the headpiece will even complete your dress too. Pairing your headpiece with your hair can make your headpiece a statement on its own by making your outfit feel fit for a queen. 

Styling Tips – Combining These Bold Accessories

What if you want to wear them all? Good news you can! But you have to be careful or you can appear overwhelming to those who look at you. 

Make sure you pick which accessory is going to be the focal point. Which do you want to be the main statement? Then have all the other accessories support the main statement. Let’s say you want your headpiece to be the main statement, you should choose smaller earrings so that they do not take away from your main statement. 

Make sure the metals and stones match so they look like they are a part of a set. This will help the accessories not feel like they are mismatched. 

Opt for a more simple dress. A more simple dress means you get to add more accessories without being too much on the eyes. 

If your accessories are adding color, remember to keep it simple.

Bottom Line 

Brooches, statement earrings, and headpieces can all help you become the beautiful bride you want to be. They can elevate your look from simple to elegant and bold. When using these accessories be mindful of overwhelming your guests by not going too hard on each accessory. Choose one focal point and build your whole look around it. 

Happy bridal shopping!
