Always a welcome presence, accessories add style and interest to any ensemble. This may be just the reason why they’ve attracted so much attention in the fashion circles. Spilling into bridal wear, otherwise simple gowns are now being creatively jazzed up rendering a nouveau elegance representative of the contemporary bride.

Dainty, feminine as well as chunky, long, and audacious pieces remind us of the ever-present power of opposing forces. Hats, intricate veiling, multiple strands of coloured gems, long silky gloves and plush stoles transport us to another place; revisiting another time. Fabulous red-soled shoes bring lavish colour to an otherwise all-white theme and glittery gold or silver purses are very now, very in. It’s all in the details and in the accessories.

Your theme, your colour scheme, and your desired look are brought out effortlessly through the careful selection of ornamentation. A simple sheath is instantly transformed when we add an over-sized flower or a colourful accent. Waistlines garnished with crystals and bead work offer a spectrum of possibilities. You can focus on one particular area or build on that by matching your shoes or satin clutch with similar beading. An all-white princess dress with fitted bodice and full skirt with over-sized crinoline is also complemented when you add an organza accent, like a long scarf flowing down to the train of your dress, or a flowered choker.
