Are you looking to add big-day glam accessories beyond the usual veil and jewelry to your wedding dress? Do you have the dilemma of needing to wear prescription glasses for your wedding and wonder if they detract from the glam look you’re looking for? This post will address these two common questions and offer three often-overlooked chic accessories to intentionally shop for when your goal is to create a glam wedding day look.

Add one or more of these often-overlooked accessories to your glam quota: gloves, sunglasses, or a bridal clutch. Ahead, get inspired to create an epic wedding day look.

CHIC EYEGLASSES TIPS FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

Adding eyewear to your bridal ensemble can be easy with these tips. Scheduling a trial hairstyle and makeup appointment will be essential since some details (eyebrows and eyelashes) must be figured out beforehand to achieve your hair and makeup vision for your wedding day. Next, since eyeglasses are part of your stylish everyday look, you don’t need to decide on a frame. Go with your usual shape and add one of these details: metallic bows, feature a simple pearl detail at the corner that goes beautifully with your headpiece and gown or select a frame color that’s the same as the metal of your jewelry; rose gold is a soft, chic, romantic color for wedding eyewear.

Intentionally shopping for sunglasses for your wedding day is essential to finding this chic accessory: the silhouette of your gown, your hairstyle, the metal color of your jewelry, and the color of your spouse’s attire are all the details to consider. Anything goes here when you shop with these details in mind. Have fun with this, and go for your pop star style! Browse the photos below for inspiration.

2. OFTEN-OVERLOOKED CHIC WEDDING ACCESSORY – GLOVES

Gloves are the hottest wedding accessory for 2023 and the most fun, chic, and effortless accessory to add to your wedding day look. They come in all the colors, fabrics, lengths, and embellishments you choose. Sheerness is also on trend in 2023, especially with glove styles. Depending on the season and venue for your wedding, sheer gloves, whether in lace, silk illusion, or English net, will be a chic accessory addition to up your glam quota for your wedding. Elegant opera-length gloves add the chicest amount of glam to a classic wedding gown and our my favorites. Shop for gloves on Etsy, Marti & Company (vintage),vonmaur, or Nordstrom.

#3 OFTEN-OVERLOOKED CHIC WEDDING ACCESSORY – BRIDAL CLUTCH

Having a place for your essentials on your wedding day is a must whether your bridal clutch goes in a more oversized bridal tote or it’s your glam accent by your side at the reception. This is also a way to provide grounding for yourself since being anxious is expected on your wedding day. Having access to the things that you use every day is calming. If a clutch is not your thing, have a stylish smaller bay in your bridal tote for this to go into. The point is to have quick, easy access to your items rather than digging through your tote to find your phone, lip gloss, etc.

So, which often-overlooked chic accessory will you choose for your wedding day? I’m hoping you go for chic sunglasses for yourself and your spouse.

    A very informative article I may say. It is true that even the simples wedding dress can have that glamorous look once you added accessories on it. Wedding dress should make the bride be the center of attention on her wedding day.
