Stumped on what to get your Bridesmaids or how to accessorize those gorgeous dresses. Than you need an Accessories Style Consultation with Bridie! What happens during one of our complimentary consultations? First and foremost I want DETAILS so I will ask a million questions!!!!   What are the girls are wearing?  Do you have a picture of the dresses? What month is the wedding? What are their shoe colors? How many girls are in your wedding party?  Which flowers will you be selecting and their colors?  Do you have a theme? Where you are getting married? Once I have created a visual snapshot I will send a Bride a few concepts to see which ones she prefers and assure I have a complete interpretation of her vision. The best part is this can be done in your time, send Bridie@bridiesabubles.com an email and include the details above and you will be on your way.

Presently, I am working with a Bride on this fabulous Bill Levkoff 678 one shoulder gown in black!  I must say I LOVE the drape and simple elegance of this dress!   The girls will be caring bold style flowers in yellow, bright pink & orange.  You may want to consider complementing a formal Bridesmaid dress with a chiffon wrap.  Perfect when you are having an afternoon wedding with an evening reception.  Bridie’s offers chiffon wraps in 30 colors at a fabulous price point of $20 each (Shipping included)!  I think Black or Silver is the perfect complement for these Bridesmaids and it will not compete with the flowers or the gown. The girls will be wearing black shoes, my suggestion would be from Bridie’s Benjamin Walk line.  I love an open toe look and Sharmain will dazzle.  For the shy tootsies; Katrina is a stunner. (Benjamin Walk shoes are available at Bridie’s by emailing Bridie@bridiesBaubles.com)

Now lets define the Bling!  The biggest mistake made when accessorizing is too much or misplaced Bling!  Knowing how to use your accessories to complement your gown without competing.  And I must admit this dress is one that could easily be a competitor. As many times the thought of a bare neckline is a foreign concept to some people.  But in this case this neckline is shifted to the right with a one shoulder styled ruffle.  My suggestions for these Bridesmaid’s would be less is more, a subtle jewelry style with an elegant edge.  A black & white earring & bracelet combo will give that WOW factor yet not compete with the dress, flowers or the wrap.  Bridie’s line of MEG Jewelry offers a an elegant freshwater pearl Ayana Earrings & Bracelet.  The neckline is bold and active with the ruffled one sleeve and speaks for itself but this long drop double pearl earring offers the perfect complement!

We have now taken a beautiful dress and made it elegant and captivating. Vibrant with color yet alluring for the evening reception.  And the old adage “they can wear it again” will hold true for this ensemble from the dress to the accessories.  The best part is this Bride has nine Bridesmaids yet will be able to gift them with couture baubles.  As Bridie’s offers Buy 4 pieces get the 5th piece FREE for all MEG Bridesmaid Jewelry and even better FREE SHIPPING on all orders!   So email Bridie@BridiesBaubles.com today so we can start accessorizing your Best Girlfriends!
