There are a few wedding accessories that are usually a must in a wedding. A wedding should be well planned ahead of time and every detail should be taken into consideration. A wedding planner may be hired to do everything for the bride and groom but in case you do not have the budget for it, you can plan the wedding yourself with the help of some family and friends.
Some conventional wedding accessories that you may think of for your wedding are garters, flower girl baskets, guest book and pen, ring bearer pillows, wedding favors, money bag or pouch, toasting glasses, cake toppers, candles and more.
The wedding garter is an elastic band that is decorated and worn under the wedding dress. This is intended for the garter toss during the reception where all the bachelors are gathered and whoever catches the garter is believed to be the next groom.
The flower girl baskets are part of the flower girl outfit. Usually, it is filled with flower petals and the flower girls throw it on the aisle where the bride will walk. The baskets may be decorated with ribbons and flowers.
The guest book and pen is another wedding accessory passed around during the reception. All guests are requested to sign in the guest book so that the couple may know who joined them on their wedding day and they can send thank you cards to them.
Toasting glasses can be different from the ordinary wine glasses. This can add on to the wedding accessories as the couple may opt to keep them as a remembrance of their wedding day. Added as a wedding accessory, is the topping on the wedding cake. Cake toppers are more decorative these days and the monogram toppers are in demand during weddings.
The ring bearer pillows hold the wedding ring during the ceremony. This is carried by a young boy to the couple when they exchange their vows. Candles can be used as decorations during the ceremony or can be placed on the tables during the reception. They can come in different colours and may be personalized, as long as it blends with the wedding theme. The rest of the wedding accessories will be that of the bride. For her over all wedding outfit, she may choose her accessories from the veil, wedding shoes, handbag or pouch, fan, and jewelries.
The bride may or may not wear a veil. In lieu of this, she may wear hair accessories such as tiara, headband, or hair clips. The wedding shoes should match the colour and style of the wedding dress but most importantly, the bride must be comfortable wearing it. The bride may use a small handbag or pouch to put little things in it during the ceremony. A fan can add to the wedding accessories but not necessary. And lastly, jewelries are worn to enhance to wedding dress. It must be simple so that it will not over shadow the beauty of the wedding dress. Remember, all wedding accessories must always compliment the wedding dress and the theme of the wedding itself.window.parent.
