Lace or crochet? Sleek satin or pearl-studded tulle? Bridal gloves are back in a big way, channelling vintage romance with a modern twist. Opt for fingerless lace, tulle or sheer gloves for an ethereal look or silk opera gloves for old Hollywood glamour. Wrist-length gloves add an understated elegance, while heavily embellished designs – from crystal appliqués to pearl clusters – create a head-turning statement.

An ancient wedding tradition, the veil is now a canvas for personalisation for modern brides. Whether you’re drawn to sleek minimalism or intricate lace detailing, there’s a world of dreamy options – think embroidered quotes, wedding dates, initials or even your love story stitched into the fabric, creating a romantic, deeply personal accessory that doubles as a cherished heirloom. For added impact, embellishments like pearls, floral appliqués or shimmering sequins add depth and drama, while sweeping cathedral veils create breathtaking movement.

For brides who want drama without the train, capes are the answer. A diaphanous tulle cape adds an ethereal edge to a simple gown, while silky shawls and structured satin capes bring high-fashion elegance. For a boho-chic look, opt for tasselled lace or make a bold statement with intricately beaded or feather-trimmed styles.

Your wedding day is the ultimate excuse to wear something special on your feet. The latest bridal shoe trends blend romance, glamour and playful edge, proving that the right pair can be just as statement-making as the dress itself. Pearls are everywhere, adorning everything from delicate trims to exquisitely handcrafted mother-of-pearl heels. For a fashion-forward finish, silk bows, feather fringing and floral embellishments are bringing haute couture vibes to bridal footwear. For brides prioritising comfort without compromising on style, chic Mary Janes and ballet flats offer a sophisticated yet effortless alternative to towering heels.
