We shared the wedding dress trends for brides to look out for in 2022, but now we’re talking all things accessories!
After all, what is a wedding dress without a few stunning accessories to elevate your bridal look? Bows, veils, earrings, gloves – they were all present in Fall 2022 Bridal Fashion Week collections. With so many different ways to accessorize your wedding dress, it can be difficult to decide on a few items that best represent your style and complement your wedding dress. But, these fall collections have an accessory for every bride whether you’re aiming for a classic, elegant bridal style or a more eye-catching look. If you’re looking for some bridal inspo, these are the five accessory trends from Fall 2022 Bridal Fashion Week to consider incorporating into your bridal look!
Hair Bow
Bows are back and bigger than ever, quite literally. Bows have been popping up as wedding dress accents for years, but hair bows are a more recent, modern accessory that has a dramatic flair this season. Marchesa Notte displayed a glamorous, oversized bow as a go-to bridal accessory that is a modern alternative to a wedding veil. But, the Fall 2022 collections show that bows are extremely versatile with dainty, tie ribbons also making an appearance for the minimalist bride. Whichever style you choose, a bridal bow is a romantic accessory that can easily tie together your whole bridal look.

Birdcage Veil
Cathedral wedding veils are out and birdcage wedding veils are in! At least for this season of bridal collections. A birdcage veil is meant to lay over the front of your face for an effortless bridal look. Odylyne the Ceremony opted for a simple birdcage veil that is attached to a floral headband for a romantic look. With many brides becoming more accustomed to intimate weddings, a birdcage veil is a perfect accessory for a minimony or a chic addition to your wedding dress for a cool-girl ceremony look. Gone are the worries about tripping over your wedding veil as you walk down the aisle or covering up what is sure to be a beautiful makeup look.

Cape
Bridal capes are nothing new for bridal collections, we’ve seen versions of this accessory on the runway a few times before. But, for Fall 2022, bridal capes are going through a dramatic upgrade. More brides will be rocking bridal capes with embroidery, sequin embellishments, lace, hoods, etc. Designer Katherine Polk opted for a pearl and sequin encrusted bridal cape that brings a shimmer to the runway. Capes are an eye-catching addition to a wedding dress that can be adapted to any bridal style, whether you want a lot of embellishments or just a few well-placed accents.

Chandelier Earrings
Bold accessories are having a moment, with chandelier earrings being the go-to jewelry choice for brides in 2022. Drop earrings were all over the runway last season and are often the easy, elegant way for brides to elevate their bridal look. Chandelier earrings, on the other hand, are better suited for brides that are looking to make a fashion statement with their bridal accessories. Designer PatBo went for large, beaded chandelier earrings, but this accessory trend can be as simple or as embellished as you like. Making for a fun addition to a simple wedding dress or to enhance the embellishments on a heavily embroidered gown.

Bold Pieces
This season of bridalwear was made for the brides looking to create a playful bridal look. From pearl-encrusted sunglasses to lace tights, brides are straying away from what are considered classic bridal accessories – long wedding veils, dainty necklaces, white heels, etc. Grace Loves Lace paired blue boots with embellished sunglasses for the ultimate cool-girl bride ensemble. While a daring bride should stick to one or two standout bridal accessories to make them pop more, going for more unconventional accessories can be a way to include more unique, personal items in your bridal ensemble.
