The Finishing Touch
Fashionable accessories add a touch of glamour
Many believe that no outfit is complete without stylish accessories; that the shoes, belt, and/or jewelry complete the "look." The same holds true for bridal fashion. Accessories can help pull your outfit together and add that little something extra.

Whether you are looking for simple adornments of elegant pearls, silk-swathed gem medallions, antiqued metal chains, resin beads in lush turquoise, coral or amethyst, or even elaborate chandelier earrings adorned with crystals and rich gems, the options are limitless.

Choose jewelry or other accent pieces, such as a belt, based on the style of the wedding dress. A sleeveless dress can support any style or shape necklace. A halter-cut dress may be better for a simple, single-strand necklace, or you may want to leave out the necklace all together and focus on a lovely set of earrings and a bracelet. When choosing an accent piece, such as a belt, make sure that the dress is simple enough to support it. For instance, a free-flowing, long satin gown with little embellishments will look amazing adorned with an intricate belt.




If you should wish to add some color into your ensemble, the Suzanna Dai "Amalfi" necklace ($380) is the perfect choice. The stunning gems and unique design will set you apart from all other brides. Suzanna Dai is available at suzannadai.com and Hartly in Westwood.



Another great piece from the Suzanna Dai collection is the "Rouen" necklace ($430). Paired with a strapless gown, this piece will add sophistication to your look. The bold design and subtle hues of the stones will pop against the white of the dress. This necklace will match well with a plunging V-neck gown.




One of the biggest trends this season is flower adorned jewelry. The trend was prominent during fashion week and designers are creating fun pieces for the spring. This Kate Spade "Flower Cluster" necklace ($254) will look best with a strapless gown. Pair the necklace with matching earrings and your outfit will be complete. Available at Neiman Marcus at Westfield Garden State Plaza, Paramus.




For the bride who’s gown may be cut high up on the neck, and wishes to wear no necklace, this Ranjana Khan "Crystal and Flower" bracelet ($330) will add just the right amount of flair. Available at Neiman Marcus at Westfield Garden State Plaza, Paramus.



Tashka by Beatrice simple pearl lariat with rainbow clusters necklace ($220) with matching pearl earrings with rainbow clusters ($125) and 12 mm shell pearl necklace with rainbow clusters ($550) are all available at Bloomingdales at The Shops at Riverside, The Jewelry Box in Englewood, Hartly in Westwood, Jewelry by Grace in Waldwick. Any one of these rich and unique pieces will add elegance to the bride’s gown.
