First Comes the Dress, Then Comes the Accessories

My dress has arrived (yay!!!!!) and scheduling my first fitting is towards to the top of my to-do list. And while I can't wait to see how it looks fitted just right, knowing the dress is here also gets my fantasizing about (and shopping for) accessories! The dress is gorgeous on its own, but one of the things I loved about it as that it is simple enough to accessorize and really make it my own.

First, I need some lovely jewelry. I'm thinking simple earrings, a bare neck and stacked bracelets.

For the bracelets, this is certainly a fun trend to take advantage of in my bridal look. To make it a bit more special, I'm going to mix my own bracelets with borrowed bracelets from the important women in my life. I love this for my something borrowed and I think it will look really chic.

What would a bridal look be without some fab-u-lous shoes. I'm going bold here. There's nothing like some fantastic shoes to make a girl feel really special.

Lastly, my dress needs a sash. I want organza flowers in ivory...but these peach flowers really caught my eye as well! What do you think of a little color on the sash?

Any favorites? Any good places to shop for bridal accessories? I would love to hear your thoughts!
