Wedding Accessories On A Budget

When it comes to weddings, there is a huge business in accessories alone. Depending on where you shop, these can be madly expensive. Fortunately, options are plentiful for the bride on a budget! This week I will be showing you some jewellery pieces from the high street, while next week, I will be listing some of the most beautiful hair accessories and inexpensive veils/tiaras.

Subtle Jewellery Items
ï‚Ÿ Earrings – Coast – (€19)

ï‚Ÿ Earrings – Monsoon – (approx €14)
These vintage style ornate earrings are almost identical to those worn by bride-to-be Kate Middleton (see pic). While Kate is normally a fan of subtle style, she almost always chooses statement earrings when attending formal events.

ï‚Ÿ Earrings – Topshop – (€5)
Considering her wedding gown is significantly detailed, actress Hillary Duff certainly made the right choice when she elected against wearing any other jewellery pieces apart from an elegant pair of drop earrings.

ï‚Ÿ Necklace
Even though Courtney Cox’s wedding gown was very understated, the long sleeves meant she still could not have worn a dramatic piece of jewellery without running the risk of her entire look appearing far too ‘busy’. In fact, the piece she chose to wear reflected the same style as her gown – subtle and free flowing. If you want to replicate this style, then check out some of the items available from Monsoon.

Statement Pieces:
The key to wearing a statement piece of jewellery is to keep the other items simple. If your dress is of a minimalist style then you should definitely be able to wear a statement piece with ease. Likewise if you are wearing a tiara, then keep your earrings and necklace simple and subtle! Here are some wedding-appropriate statement pieces from the high street.

Broaches
If you want to add a little sparkle to your dress (or your bridesmaids dresses) then one of these broaches may just do the trick! Remember broaches do not always have to be placed at the corner of the bust, you can also place them to the side of the waist. If there is a ribbon around the waist of your dress, then try placing the broach in the centre. Experiment!
