How to embellish a plain wedding dress

Q – I’ve bought a dress with no embellishments, and now I’m worried it’s too plain. How can I add the wow factor to it?

"It’s amazing what a few simple accessories can do to a plain dress. A belt or sash is always a good place to start. Whether you pick something with sparkle or lace, it’s a great way to define your waist and bring a little something extra to your overall look.

"Think about what accessories you’ll be having in your hair, as these can add to the overall look of your gown.

"Lastly, look for a statement veil or cape. If your dress is plain, a long statement veil could be just what you need to bring the wow factor. It’s always a great idea to try on different accessories when you try on your dress at your chosen boutique. That way you can see exactly what suits you and get a much better idea of how it looks together.

"Some boutiques offer accessory appointments, so you can take your dress and try on different options."
