The Most Essentials Items In Your Wedding Accessories List

When having a wedding, there are various items that are necessary to make sure both the ceremony and reception are complete. Such props are usually referred to as wedding or bridal accessories. If you are not careful, your bridal accessories can be a bottomless list. And as with any list, start with the absolute essentials:
- Wedding gown. Throughout the year, you can catch sales for wedding gowns and it is never too early to start. While you’re at it, try looking for a veil, headpiece and even gloves to match the gown preferably at the same store so that you can ask for a better deal.
- Bridal bouquet. Don’t make the mistake of carrying the wrong bouquet that absolutely don’t compliment your dress, hair or overall style. Take note of what flowers are in season and settle for the ones that are in season so that you don’t end up paying an insane amount of money just for a bouquet.
- Jewelry. Whether it is the family heirloom or borrowed designer jewelry, remember that they are supposed to highlight you the Bride, and not the other way around. Too much jewelry can be a bad thing!
- Bridal shoes. Comfort above everything else – that should be your keyword as you will be on your feet for long periods at a time.
- Entourage accessories. You must look stunning but those accompanying you should look good too. Your groom, bridesmaids, Maid-of-Honor, groomsmen and Best Man should be wearing the right accessories. Even your parents should not be left out.
The ones not mentioned here can be the subsequent wedding decorations items on your list. Make sure you take care of what is listed above first.
Generally, these items should be part of your wedding accessories list:
- Wedding invitations – Usually, you would invite your guests to both ceremony and reception. However, there might be circumstances in which this cannot be done. If you need to divide your guests, start with the ones invited to both and then the ones invited to either on ceremony or reception.
- Wedding guestbook – The guestbook will be one of your best wedding memoirs. Not all your guest will have time to sign their well wishes during wedding ceremony. To eliminate this, you can have the book during reception too.
- Wedding album and photographer – these two are must-haves at the wedding so you will have a happy record of the day. Make sure your photographer is reliable and always remember to scrutinize his portfolio before you hire him. The best wedding photographers are always those that come on recommendation so be sure to consult your own connections first before hiring a total stranger.
- Wedding tableware. At the very least, you should decorate the main wedding table with special wedding tableware if you can’t afford to adorn all the tables. These special wares includes toasting flutes or glasses, napkins, place card holders, silverware such as forks, spoons, knives and cake cutter, china and wedding table decorations.
- Wedding favors. Your souvenirs should be reflecting yours and your spouse’s personality. This will make it meaningful as well as unique.
- General wedding décor. To have the best looking décor does not mean you have to spend a fortune. Your wedding can still look beautiful if you make the most of the things you have. Be sure to add a little creativity in flowers, candles or laces to make them look gorgeous.
The less important wedding accessories are the ring bearer pillows, flower girl baskets and wedding pens. You can still do without them but if you must have them you should not be spending too much time searching for the best looking ones. For instance, a satin cover can be used to cover an existing pillow to make it become the ring bearer pillow. The flower basket can also be any basket decorated with ribbons and bows.
If you are not comfortable with the amount of décor or accessories at your wedding, make alterations. It is YOUR wedding and you should be the one who is happy with the end results. Always remember that the beauty of a wedding is not measured by its price tag. The simplest wedding can be the most beautiful that anyone has ever seen.
