While I was preparing from my wedding, BHLDN was my go to for inspiration. It never ceased to amaze me how beautiful everything was. Then when the wedding was over, I still daydreamed about all of the pretty, shiny, and feathery pieces. I figure why save all of these things for just one day? I think bridal fashions can be worn anytime, especially if you’re going for a very feminine appeal.  Here are my ideas on how to incorporate bridal pieces into your everyday wardrobe.

1. The bridal headpiece: I choose this Olive Branch Headband because it definitely can go with a multitude of looks! Treat it like a regular headband, but with some more jazz. For a casual look, try an oversized sweater (Gemma Boxy Jumper shown) to tone down your fancy headwear. For a dressed up look, try the ever flattering but simple wrap dress (Cara Drape Dress shown). The headband is probably the easiest piece to transition from wedding world to everyday.

2. The bridal shoes: These Lambent Knot Heels are the closest style to my shoes and I love how classic they are. To continue to wear them (which I totally advise because who wouldn’t want to wear fancy shoes!?), I would recommend pairing with dark jeans and a classic white button-down shirt (The Essential Shirt shown). And because they are a statement shoe, why not dress them up with a simple maxi (Rosie Maxi Dress shown)? I think the key to wearing bridal shoes outside of a wedding is to keep them away from a typical soft, feminine look. Stick with classic staples, clean lines, and darker colors.

3. The bridal jewelry: Bridal jewelry is the best. It’s meant to be sparkly, romantic, and just plain lovely. I chose the Queen Consort Collar to feature because it’s more of a unique necklace, something a little different than most brides go for, and definitely a good fit for everyday use. For a casual look, you can pair a bridal statement necklace with a simple tunic or shirt dress (Iris Jumper Dress shown). I also like to use bold bridal jewelry with workwear (Natalia Dress shown). It’s a nice way to brighten up a tailored piece and add something unexpected.
