These 6 Bridal Accessories Will Make You the Coolest Bride of 2019

When it comes to weddings, inevitably, a lot of emphasis is put on the dress, but no wedding look is complete without the right accessories. Whatever your style—be it minimalist, boho, or classic—it’s the extra embellishments that take your look to next-level chic.

With Bridal Fashion Week coming to a close last month, we were able to take a deeper dive into the accessories that ruled the runways. Alongside the spring 2020 dress trends (which included wedding suits with trains, high-low hemlines, minidresses, and even shorts!), the accessories were equally as striking. From bold headbands, eye-catching earrings, and waist-cinching belts, below we’re sharing some of the coolest accessories that are reigning supreme right now to get you inspired. If you're getting married in the next year or two, these are sure to add the most striking accent to your look on the big day. 

Detachable Belts

While we're used to the delicate embellished thin sashes that are commonly used as a gorgeous finishing touch, this year we're seeing bold and wide belts, cinched at the waist that make a cool fashion statement. Luckily, most are detachable for the utmost versatility.

Pretty Hair Clips 

Headbands weren't the only hair accessory trend to make its marks this year. Chic barrettes and hair clips (another big trend among the fashion set) were seen adorning the most beautiful hairstyles during fashion week. Opt for pearls, beads, and sparkly diamanté clips for the most gorgeous finishing touch to your wedding look. They'll undoubtedly look stunning in your photos too.
