Finding the perfect bridal look isn’t just about finding the dress - it’s about finding all of the key elements that bring your look together to make it cohesive and impactful. This is where accessorizing comes into play, and it’s so fun to try on different veil styles and gloves to complete the look!
Choosing the right gloves, sleeves, veil, jewelry, and more can complement your wedding dress and personal style to a T. Here are a few of our favorite ways to accessorize a wedding dress!
Matching Veils
A matching veil is key to the perfect bridal look - a timeless accessory that will frame your face beautifully. You’ve got several options for veils, including birdcage veils, fingertip veils, and cathedral length veils (a favorite among bold brides). The veil should enhance your dress, not overwhelm it. If your dress has intricate lace or beadwork, choose a simpler veil. If your dress is more minimalist, consider a veil with more embellishments to add texture. Make sure the veil complements your hairstyle and the train of the dress; for example, a cathedral length veil looks best with a dress that has a long train.

Matching Gloves
Gloves are a fabulous bridal accessory because they can add a touch of classic charm and sophistication to your wedding look. There are multiple options here as well, from opera length to wrist length and even fingerless gloves. Gauntlet gloves are another great option in a matching fabric. A rule of thumb when picking a glove is that the longer the dress sleeves are, the shorter the gloves should be. If you’re wearing a strapless wedding dress, any length glove works beautifully.
