STYLING YOUR WEDDING DAY LOOK
Once you’ve chosen your dream dress, Bernie O’Neill, from Perfect Day Bridal will help you with all those finishing touches that add glamour and drama to your look.
When a bride finds the dress, you can feel the shift in the room. It’s electric. Suddenly, the day feels real – the venue, the flowers, the guests. But while the dress sets the tone, it’s the veil and accessories that bring the magic to life.
The dress is the beginning of your story. The finishing touches? That’s where you come in.
Think of accessories as the brushstrokes that personalise your bridal look. A cathedral-length veil trailing behind you adds undeniable drama – perfect for a statement entrance. Prefer something romantic and whimsical? A soft tulle fingertip veil edged in lace or pearl detailing frames the face beautifully and complements a wide range of gown styles.
We love helping brides explore different options until it all clicks into place. A simple crepe gown becomes something entirely different when paired with a sparkly belt or a statement hairpiece. Likewise, dainty earrings can highlight your neckline and bring focus to your face, especially for an outdoor ceremony where the light catches every detail.
It’s never about overloading the look. It’s about balance. If your dress is heavily embellished, you might lean towards more pared-back accessories. If your gown is sleek and simple, it opens the door to a bit of sparkle or vintage glamour.
The best part of this process is watching everything come together – when the bride sees herself not just in the dress, but as a bride. It’s an emotional moment. The accessories don’t compete with the gown; they elevate it. They tell your story. Whether it’s a brooch passed down from your granny or a veil that gives a little nod to royal elegance, these little choices make your look uniquely yours.
So, when you’re choosing your wedding dress, don’t forget to leave room for the extras. Try on that veil. Test out a headband. Hold up a pair of earrings. Because sometimes, the smallest detail makes the biggest impact.
Your dress is the dream. The accessories? That’s the magic.
