Exceptional Accesories

Accessories, often considered an afterthought, are just as important to a bride's decorum as her dress itself. In fact, the right sash, belt, tiara, or hairpiece can graduate a gown from simple to sensational; like the final stroke on a painted masterpiece. Brides today are surrounded by options from colors, styles, themes and beyond; from fun and flirty to traditional and vintage, each motif has exceptional accessories from local vendors like Nordstroms, Neiman Marcus, The Bridal Boutique, Bliss Bridal, Stanley Korshak, Stardust Celebrations, Lulu's Bridal, and Stellas, to online resources such as Bella Tiara, Esty, Edward Berger, Serendipity Tiaras, and Portobello Jewelry. We have included a few of our favorites for inspiration.
