So you’ve found the wedding dress of your dreams - cue the happy tears! But now comes the next exciting chapter in your bridal style journey: accessorizing.
At Serendipity Bridal, we believe that accessories are the magic that complete your wedding day look, adding that personal flair that makes your gown truly yours. From dreamy veils to statement belts and headpieces, we’ve got what you need to elevate your wedding dress.
Let’s walk through all the key pieces and talk about how to choose what’s right for you like a pro!
The Veil
Veils are the ultimate bridal accessory, and we offer a stunning range to suit every vibe from classic to contemporary. If you’re considering what style of veil you want (or if you even want to wear a veil at all!), ask yourself if you’re looking for drama or something more subtle. A cathedral length veil brings serious romance and works beautifully with simpler gowns, while shorter veils offer softness and charm without stealing the spotlight.

Pro tip: If your dress has a lot of detailing on the back, go for a sheer, minimal veil to let that beauty shine through. Or, for a bold twist, choose one with lace edging or scattered pearls.
Belts
If you’re looking to accentuate your waist or add a touch of sparkle, a bridal belt is a game-changer. It can transform a minimalist gown into a showstopper with just one dazzling addition! Belts come in all styles - think satin sashes, crystal-encrusted bands, or floral applique details. They’re especially perfect for adding definition to flowy A-lines or elevating a clean crepe silhouette.

Pro tip: Match the belt tone with your gown’s hue (ivory, blush, etc.), and if your dress already has a lot of bling, opt for a simpler belt to avoid visual overload.
Overskirts
Want two bridal looks in one day without a full outfit change? Say hello to the overskirt! Slip one over your fitted gown for the ceremony and watch jaws drop as you reveal a sleeker silhouette for the reception. It’s the best of both worlds - regal train for the vows, party-ready shape for the dance floor!

Our collection includes everything from ethereal tulle layers to dramatic lace-draped styles that feel straight off the runway.
Pro tip: Overskirts work best with sheath or fit-and-flare dresses and offer an opportunity to get that grand “princess moment” without fully committing to a ballgown.
Headpieces
Whether you prefer something more floral or more vintage-inspired, there’s a headpiece waiting to crown your look! From delicate pins and clips to romantic bombs and full on crowns, the options are truly endless.

A sleek bun pairs beautifully with a crystal comb or pearl barrette, while loose curls shine under a boho-inspired halo. Want to bring in a bit of old-Hollywood glam? A bejeweled headband might be more of your thing!
Pro tip: Coordinate the tones of your jewelry and headpiece (silver, gold, rose gold) and consider your hairstyle when selecting the size and placement of the accessory.
Jewelry
Your wedding dress and other bridal accessories will help influence how you choose your earrings, necklace, and/or bracelet. If your dress has a deep v-neckline, a delicate pendant or drop necklace complements it beautifully. If your wedding dress has a high neckline, you can skip the necklace altogether and go for bold earrings instead.
If you’re wearing a belt or detailed veil, your jewelry can take a backseat - or vice versa! It’s all about balance.

Pro tip: Don’t overdo it. If you’re unsure, go with fewer but impactful pieces that enhance rather than distract from your gown. There’s no reason why accessorizing should be stressful!
