Accessories can make everything better! While some fashionistas argue your wedding attire is not complete without accessories, it’s important to accessorize meticulously to complement not distract from your wedding dress. First and foremost, choose accessories that are a reflection of your personality and style. Secondly, choose accessories that convey your wedding theme whether it’s a feeling you want to portray such as romantic, a color scheme you want to incorporate like pastels, or an overall aesthetic for example a western wedding. Lastly, when choosing accessories, think about anything you might need to make you more comfortable on your big day. We rounded up a list of both practical and stylish wedding accessories for every season and shared our current favorites across various price points you can buy today!
Sunglasses
Say “I do” and protect your eyes with a pair of sunglasses. This accessory is something brides often forget about and almost instantly regret it. While of course, you could simply just pack your everyday shades, what’s the fun in that? Here are some alternatives that are wedding-worthy and save you from having to squint if your venue is outside!
Sherri Oversize Cat Eye
We love the 1950s cat-eye mixed with the modern style of oversized shades. These timeless sunglasses have withstood the test of time for good reason and you definitely can’t beat that price!

Flowers aren’t only for decor! We’re obsessed with the autumn-inspired colors of burgundy, cinnamon, and rust in this hair accessory! We featured above a set of 6 hair pins, but they also have flower crowns, hair combs, and if you want to match your bridal party they have boutonnieres and corsages for your groomsmen

Hats
Hats off to you bride! A hat is a great option for a trendy and modern bride looking to add a little something to their reception look. A hat doubles as a protective layer from the sun and is a great way to highlight your wedding theme and your personality.
Room to Roam-ance Ivory Fedora Hat
This western-inspired fedora is perfect for a dessert wedding venue. While this is a more affordable option it looks much more expensive with its structured wide brim, teardrop-shaped crown, and gold-tone metal band.

The search for the perfect cowgirl hat ended with this one. The shaping of the cattleman crease crown with an upturned brim is just perfection. Spending a bit more will give you that perfect fit as this hat has an interior ribbon adjuster. We love that this hat comes into different shades of white, cream and creme so you can find one that matches the tone of your wedding dress.
Boots
These boots were made for walking… down the aisle. Shoes are a great way to bring your personality into your wedding day look. With outdoor weddings, boots are always a safe and stylish option because the last thing we want is your heel getting stuck or your feet hurting when tearing up the dance floor. Again, we recommend you buy these statement shoes in advance so you can wear them at bridal events such as your bachelorette party or your bridal shower!
Dagget Boot
You can’t get more perfect than these shoes for the cowgirl bride! These highly-rated iconic shoes feature premium leather, western embroidery, and a 2.5-inch heel. We can’t help but want to buy them in every color as they come in pink, black, green metallic, an icy pink, brown, washed brown, and a tan and white cow print.
Betsey Johnson Women’s Cady Evening Booties
Make a statement with these booties! The classic bridal white keeps them on bridal theme, but they bring all the glam as they are completely encrusted with rhinestones that catch the light from every angle. The pointed toe and 3.25-inch heel make these classy and sassy!
Dingo 1969 Full Bloom Leather Cowboy Boots
These boots are perfect for the bohemian bride! These cowboy boots add a subtle pop of color and texture with the flower embroidery. The casual western style features lasting leather and a 2-inch heel. We can just picture a spring bride wearing these in a garden venue.
Veil
A veil is a timeless accessory that embodies the true essence of being a bride. It’s an accessory reserved for certain occasions, which is why it feels so special and sentimental. Adding a veil for your ceremony can completely change your look. While they are traditional, we love the variety modern veils offer in length and design.
PARIS by Debra Moreland Floating Cathedral Veil
This cathedral-length veil is so dreamy! The double-lined veil has a finger-tip length blusher in front, ending just before your arms so you can still hold your bouquet underneath it. Get the best of both worlds with an second cathedral-length layer touching the floor.
Long Floral Veil
This veil will definitely turn heads when you walk down the aisle. Gorgeous embroidered rose appliques line the edge and up on the back of the long tulle. This veil will trail behind you as it is 108 inches.
Rose-Lace Appliqued Tulle Cathedral Veil
Bring on the romance with this dainty soft tulle veil. We’re obsessed with the lace detailing decorated with pearls and sequins for sparkle. The icing on the cake is the customizable aspect of this veil. Choose between an ivory or beige color and a shoulder, elbow, fingertip, waltz, or custom length.
Birdcage Veil Wedding with Pearls
Get hitched and ditch the long veil for a short one! This birdcage veil is perfect for the classy and sophisticated bride with scattered pearls catching the light throughout. This veil uses a comb attachment, which is preferred according to a bridal hairstylist.
Coats
Accessorizing for fun and comfort is our favorite combination! An additional layer you can take on and off gives you just another way to show off your personality and choose something that goes along with your wedding theme. While you can plan every detail of your wedding, the weather is a variable you don’t want to have to worry about! Stress less and choose from our selection of jackets and wedding dress accessories for every bride and weather type!
Faux Leather Moto Jacket
This veil will definitely turn heads when you walk down the aisle. Gorgeous embroidered rose appliques line the edge and up on the back of the long tulle. This veil will trail behind you as it is 130 inches.
Long-Sleeve Tulle Wedding Dress Topper
Get two looks with one dress! This topper is perfect paired with a strapless dress for the in-between spring weather. The sheer long sleeve will compliment your dress and features an eye-catching button closure back.
Cropped Tweed Frayed Hem Blazer
We love that the simplicity of this blazer will let your wedding dress be the star of the show, but adds a stylish textural element with the tweed and the fringe trim. The attention to detail and fit with its cropped hemmed, single button closure, and padded shoulder make this a winner.
BHLDN Gemma Pearl-Embellished Jacket

Fur and winter weddings go hand and hand. We love how fur contrasts and adds a textural element to complement a traditional wedding dress. This faux-fur wrap is subtle yet stylish and warm!
Dahlia Feather Jacket
We choose this coat as it’s still a fur coat, but a completely different vibe. This dyed ostrich feather number is an ode to the 1920s flapper and is both classy and bold.
Wedding Coat
Walk down the aisle of a winter wonderland in this elegant wool coat. Genuine arctic fox fur line the color of this floor-length coat. We love that this coat still allows you to show off the details of your dress sleeves.
Umbrella:
Did you know that rain on your wedding day is actually good luck? Rather be safe than sorry during a rainy season and have an umbrella on hand. However, when choosing a practical accessory like this, we still want to have fun! Here are a few options that will look aesthetically pleasing in your wedding photos:
Just Married Wedding Umbrella
We’re all about aesthetically pleasing and this bubble umbrella turns a functional item into a stylish accessory. We are always looking for that extra touch of sass and honey, this is it.
