How you choose to accessorize on your wedding day is just as important as choosing the dress. Whether you’re looking to make a statement with each piece of jewelry or looking for subtle ways to complete the look, accessorizing is key to any bride’s ensemble.
For some, accessorizing means draping yourself in diamonds complements of Harry Winston. For others, it means delicate vintage pieces to refine the look. But for those who cannot afford to be bejeweled by priceless gems or classic vintage pieces, do not fret. Put your classic pearls aside, because I’ve found some affordable statement-making accessories to adorn you on the Big Day.
Necklaces
Whether your necklace is old, borrowed, new or blue, choosing a necklace is a big decision. With an endless selection of modest, sparkly, classic and vintage necklaces, be sure to pick one that adds that certain “je ne sais quoi” to complete your look for the Big Day.

It’s cold outside and you’ve eaten more holiday cookies than you ever thought possible. The last thing you probably feel like doing is hitting the gym, but your wedding day is sneaking closer with each passing day. What is a bride-to-be to do?
