Your guide to everything to do with fashion and beauty for your wedding

Today bridal accessories have become more of a style statement than a functional item. Most women are expected to wear a multitude of accessories but many still prefer to choose a simple yet elegant wedding dress to be the focal point of their day. One of the best fashion and beauty tips for brides is to purchase a simple yet elegant white dress that can be accesso rized in different, complementary colors. A simple, classic white silk strapless gown can be accessorized with beautiful crystal bridal jewelry sets such as a small silver necklace, a thin silver bracelet, and a simple silver bracelet set. Another great idea is to purchase white wedding shoes that are in ivory or soft black. These shoes will be accessorized in neutral colors and tones to compliment any wedding gown. Another great idea for bridal accessories is to purchase a bunch of colorful pearls to add depth and dimensions to your hair and face. The perfect accessory to wear with pearls would be a pair of gorgeous black high heels. Pearls provide a sophisticated look, especially when worn with the classic cocktail dress that is embellished with large crystals. For those brides who do not want to wear jewelry there are plenty of other ideas available. For instance a ribbon can be wrapped around the waist or a large satin bow can be placed on the train of the bridal gown to enhance the look. One of the most important wedding fashion and beauty tips for the bride is to choose a hairstyle that compliments her natural beauty. Many modern, up-to-date styles are available that will enhance any woman's natural features. Wedding hairstyles are always the first choice of brides when it comes to choosing a wedding dress and makeup. It is important that the style of the wedding dress and makeup coordinate with the overall style of the bride. If the style and colour of the wedding dress are very different then it is probably best to try one or two and decide which one looks best.
