In the enchanting world of bridal fashion, 2024 heralds a year where elegance meets innovation, and tradition weaves seamlessly with contemporary desires. This year’s top trends in bridal accessories are a testament to the evolving landscape of love and matrimony, shaped by the expert insights of our esteemed Wedded Week partners: Oula of Bridal Favours, Olivia from The Ivory Room Bridal, and Marina from Briona Jewellery. Each brings a unique perspective from the heart of Sydney, Australia, offering a kaleidoscope of options for brides worldwide.

What have recent brides been purchasing in bridal accessories?

Recent trends in bridal accessories reveal a beautiful blend of personal expression and timeless elegance, as highlighted by our experts. Olivia from The Ivory Room Bridal shares, “At The Ivory Room Bridal we believe a bride’s wedding day look should reflect them and what makes them feel their most confident self- from the stunning gown to the veil, right down to the jewellery she wears. Wedding Day accessories are all about framing the bride and adding the final touches to make you feel truly special.” This ethos of individuality is echoed in the accessories that brides are gravitating towards.

Olivia also notes a significant trend that combines modern aesthetics with a touch of tradition, stating, “The rise in modern minimalism and vintage simplicity has given room for bride’s to accessorise more to add further intrigue to their gown. Accessories that both ourselves and our bride’s have been adoring are the rise of a chic glove to elevate their bridal look. This nod to the vintage classic has been a favourite amongst our beautiful brides, adding a little something to both their ceremony and reception look.”

In line with the desire for simplicity and understated elegance, Oula from Bridal Favours introduces an exciting trend: “We are so excited to tell you about our latest must-have item: our bridal slip dresses! These beauties are all the rage right now and are perfect for brides who adore simplicity. They make a statement all on their own and are a perfect choice for brides who appreciate simplicity and prefer a lightweight, soft dress over a traditional bridal robe.”

Adding to the conversation about personalization and statement pieces, Marina from Briona Jewellery observes, “We are seeing more and more brides purchasing fun and personalized jewellery pieces for their big day, which they can re-wear throughout life! 2024 brides are really looking to make a statement with their bridal jewellery. We’ve recently seen a huge surge in brides purchasing yellow gold statement earrings as well as detailed pearl earrings! Brides are moving away from more traditional pieces this year and opting for pieces that truly show their personality and style!”

This collective insight from bridal experts showcases a shift towards accessories that not only complement the bridal look but also encapsulate the bride’s individuality and essence, making each choice profoundly personal and meaningful.

Any trends in bridal accessories that you love and recommend to brides to be?

Our bridal accessory experts are spotlighting enchanting trends that capture both the heart and the imagination, offering brides-to-be exceptional ways to enhance their wedding day elegance. Oula from Bridal Favours shares an exciting trend that’s all about dramatic flair, “We are totally obsessed with the craze for Mantilla Veils! This trend is not limited to lace alone, as you can find them adorned with beautiful beads or pearls. These veils make a bold statement and add that extra touch of glamour to your wedding dress. Get ready to turn heads with this glamorous look!”

Echoing the sentiment for classic elegance, Olivia from The Ivory Room Bridal highlights a trend that blends tradition with modern sophistication, “Continuing our nod to the classics, the emergence of traditional veils with a blusher has also been a favourite amongst our brides. Sheer tulle cascading over your face and just covering your bouquet is absolutely divine in photography. A veil over your face of course is not for everyone, however wearing it back can add a little dimension in your wedding look – giving your wedding photos more movement. If you are a bride wanted to lean even more into that vintage classic look, try adding a satin edge or even a soft mantilla lace.”

Marina from Briona Jewellery introduces a playful and versatile trend that has quickly become a must-have for brides seeking an element of fun in their bridal attire, “Bows!!!! Bows!!! We love how versatile a bow can be and how it can really transform an outfit! We recently launched a Statement Bow hair accessory, which has now sold out twice. It is a piece that you can dress up or down, perfect for any bridal occasion!”

These trends, rich in diversity and personality, invite brides to express their individual style while embracing the timeless beauty of tradition, ensuring that their wedding day look is as unforgettable as the ceremony itself.
