Your wedding dress is obviously a huge part of your big day. After the celebration is over, it’s your beautiful gown, photos and memories (oh, and your spouse!) that remain. However, though a major part of your wedding-day attire, the bridal gown is just one part of it. What else is there, you ask? Accessories!
At Blush Bridal Boutique in the Cincinnati Bridal District, our team of stylists are experts at picking the perfect gown. But, our skills go even further – our Cincinnati bridal shop stocks gorgeous veils, jewelry, jackets, sunglasses and more! At your appointment, your stylist can recommend the ideal accessory to complement your dress.

Styling a Veil with Your Blush Bridal Boutique Gown
Nine out of ten times, a stylist will suggest adding a veil at the end of your bridal appointment. That’s because veils are like the icing on a cake – while they aren’t the main portion of the recipe, they complete it. Veils are often what makes our clients truly feel like a “bride.”
Veils come in a variety of lengths and styles. Getting married on the beach? Try a fingertip veil that won’t drag in the sand! Need to add a lacy moment to your clean gown? Pop on a long cathedral-length veil with a floral edge.
Photographers also LOVE when brides wear a veil for their pics. Veils add a needed touch of drama and look incredible on the wind. Just look at the examples below!
That being said, not every bride loves a veil. Some prefer to add a delicate hair accessory to their locks instead. Blush Bridal Boutique in the Cincinnati Bridal District offers several options and styles, sure to suit a variety of tastes.
If you’re thinking of movie star waves for your wedding, a jeweled hair comb is a surefire bet. Add one to your bridal look to summon Veronica Lake like our bride below.
Hair pearls are a more whimsical option for our boho brides. Blush Bride Kristen placed them on the front of her hair. They were the best little something-something to add to her lacy long-sleeved A-line gown.
Of course, you can always add a hair accessory to your veil, too! Why not have both like Blush bride Lexie?! Most brides remove their veils after the ceremony while hair accessories shine on through the night.
Brides who love old movies, thrifting and a serious style moment will love adding a glove to their wedding-day attire. Long satin gloves look stunning with most gowns but we particularly adore them with a clean, elegant gown. Blush Bride Celia styled her pair with a crisp ballgown, a cathedral veil and pearl necklace.
Blush Bridal Boutique manager Jaimie threw on some gloves with this clean fitted gown. They elevated the whole vibe and took it in a more vintage 1940s direction! (Bonus points if you add a bold lip!)
Earrings draw attention to your beautiful face so naturally, Blush Bridal Boutique carries lots of lovely earring options from rhinestone studs to statement pieces. One of our most beloved options are these dangling pearl stunners below. Look how amazingly they pair with the bride’s minimalist gown and high ponytail!
Earrings or a subtle necklace can also enhance the look of a strapless gown. Check out these statement floral earrings Blush Bridal Boutique Master Stylist Victoria added to this ballgown! How sweet would these be for a spring wedding?

This one’s for our winter brides! A faux fur shrug will keep you warm at your December wedding – and even better, it looks so chic! Take a gander at this glamorous white option our Blush bride Lindsey wore.
Shrugs and jackets provide an opportunity for two looks and versatile photo options. Blush carries stylish lace and pearl options in addition to faux fur, or you can pop on a leather jacket from home for a couple edgy photos if you like!
There are several factors that go into a bridal look, from hair and makeup to the dress and accessories. At Blush Bridal Boutique in the Cincinnati Bridal District, we’ve got the last two totally covered! Either at the end of your appointment or when you pick up your gown, ask your stylist how you can finish your look with accessories. Sometimes, a delicate earring or cool jacket can be the perfect little thing to take your bridal attire to the next level!
