Accessorizing Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress

When you build an outfit, it’s rarely just the clothes themselves that complete the look. Sure, your sundress is adorable on its own, but the gold hoops, dainty bracelet and leather jacket finish the vibe. Styling your bridal outfit is not so different — the dress is the most important part, but it’s the accessories that take it over the edge!

At the Blue Bridal Outlet in the Reading Bridal District (located in Cincinnati), our stylists can not only help you find the best dress at a reasonable price, but we can source your accessories, too! We carry an array of beautiful veils, earrings and more at Blue. At the end of your appointment, your stylist will happily recommend the perfect finishing touches for your wedding look. Blue Bridal Outlet is a unique Cincinnati wedding dress shop, in that we carry both off-the-rack gowns in your size, but also a curated selection of orderable wedding dresses.

What are some ways you can add a little pizazz to your wedding dress? Read on before you hit the Cincinnati Bridal District!

Styling a Veil and Hair Accessories with Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress

Nine out of ten bridal stylists finish your appointment by adding a veil to your wedding dress. Why? Because veils can truly make you feel like a “real bride.” At the Blue Bridal Outlet in the Cincinnati Bridal District, we carry several types of veils from dramatic cathedral length ones to simpler fingertip options. No matter your tastes, we have a veil for you.

Blue Bride Betsy added a cathedral length veil to her sparkling off-the-shoulder dress. Photographers love veils like this one because of the movement and fun they can add to pics like this one.

Blue Bridal Stylist Cayla shows off a lacy fingertip veil below. Sometimes just a hint of lace at the edge of a veil is all you need to tie everything together! This sweet veil pairs perfectly with the ethereal Justin Alexander gown, currently available off the rack in size 18.

But what if you just don’t love veils? No worries, Blue also stocks gorgeous hair accessories like bejeweled combs and pins. Some brides wear them alone, while others add them to their veils. Blue Bride Olivia wore her delicate hair accessory alone with her clean, classic gown. Along with her jewelry, we think it added the perfect amount of shimmer to her bridal look!

Styling Sleeves with Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress

Long sleeves have been a huge bridal trend in Cincinnati this year! However, many gowns don’t feature them, so brides often end up with sleeves that snap on and off. At Blue Bridal Outlet in the Cincinnati Bridal District, we’re all about a dress that features two styles in one. Which is why we advocate for removable sleeves! You can wear your gorgeous long sleeves during the ceremony, and then take them off for the reception for a party look.

Blue Bride Madison added boho sleeves to her sophisticated scoop-neck gown. Along with her fingertip-length veil, they added so much visual interest to her already stylist look! (And peep her husband’s amazing shoes, too!)

This irresistible gown that Blue Bridal Stylist Katie wore also features detachable sleeves for two looks in one. The dress, featuring a plunging neckline and 3-D florals, is currently available off the rack in a size 8 at the Blue Bridal Outlet in the Cincinnati Bridal District!

Styling a Belt with Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress

Clean minimalist gowns are another huge hit in 2024 (and they always will be in style – a classic is a classic for a reason)! Occasionally though, brides wish their chic gowns had a little moment of sparkle. That’s when your Blue Bridal Outlet stylist will suggest a belt, which adds not only a bit of glam, but also waist definition.

Blue Bride Whitney included a shining belt in her wedding ensemble. The delicate belt beautifully complemented her sublime A-line dress, with its dainty spaghetti straps and timeless cowl neck.

Blue Bridal Outlet Manager Sarah models a clean mikado silk gown here with a simple matching fabric belt. Even a thin fabric belt can be the little something your look needs. (And did we mention, we adore a pearl-speckled veil with a clean gown?!)

Styling a Jacket or Gloves with Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress

Jackets can be a fun photo opportunity – throw on a denim one for pics at your barn venue, or add a fur shawl to your winter wedding. For some brides, however, the jacket is a whole look in itself. 

Blue Bride Rebecca’s stunning pearled jacket completed her bridal look. While you can always take a jacket on and off, why would you, with one this gorgeous? Blue Bridal Outlet carries this orderable jacket in several sizes.

Gloves are an alternative to a jacket! Satin gloves can make your bridal look appear more edgy or add a vintage flair, depending on how you style them. Blue Bridal Manager Sarah added a bold lip to this strapless fitted gown with gloves for a Taylor Swift-inspired style. This amazing frock is currently available off the rack in a size 12.

These are just a few fun additions you can add to your bridal look! At Blue Bridal Outlet, we stock a variety of earrings, bracelets, overskirts and more. Our talented group of stylists can suggest whatever your already amazing wedding gown needs to take the ensemble a step further. At the end of your appointment, be sure to ask how you can accessorize your gown – or book a separate accessory appointment by calling the store if you already have your dress! We’d love to suggest the ideal bauble or brooch to complete your wedding day shopping list.
