As my cool fashion friends and I inch closer toward being engaged, we've all been been daydreaming about the little details that will make our wedding wardrobes feel uniquely us—and, personally, I’m already excited to start shopping for pieces beyond the dress. From courthouse ceremonies to bachelorette parties and bridal showers, the right accessories can elevate any outfit and make you feel like a bride long before the big day. I’m obsessed with elevated bridal trends like chic gloves, luxe scarves, and designer heels—pieces that aren’t just for the wedding but will seamlessly fit into my wardrobe year-round.
Bridal trends are informing most of what I'm obsessed with at the moment: Gloves are having a major moment in the space, adding instant elegance and sophistication. Whether worn with a sleek jumpsuit for a courthouse wedding or a simple dress for a bridal shower, they’re a perfect statement that can be worn again on a chilly evening or date night. I also can’t get enough of editorial hats, like pillbox styles or wide-brim shapes, that add flair to any favorite. (A personal lust of mine, you might ask? Kyha Studios Laura Bruni hat that's been unable to escape my mind—and Pinterest board!—since I saw it earlier this year.) As for shoes, my friends and I are making a beeline for creamy, white designer heels. They’re a must-have, of course. I’m already imagining a pair of timeless stilettos that I can wear long after the wedding, whether paired with jeans or a little black dress.
Let’s be real, bridal fashion is about looking amazing, no matter the event. Treat yourself—wedding planning is stressful, and you certainly deserve a little treat. Below, shop the best bridal accessories to buy ahead of your big day.
