Don’t you struggle with accessories that match your wedding dress?
Hello, I am Haruno Tsuzaki, the editor-in-chief of marry*
Suddenly, don’t you find that accessories for your wedding ceremony are incredibly challenging?
During my own wedding and even during the photo shoot, I was just full of worries.
I ended up buying multiple pairs of earrings, including some that I didn’t even end up using.
When creating accessories for the KIYOKO HATA×marry collaboration dress, I was really indecisive about which earrings, necklaces, and head accessories to pair with it.
There are so many necklaces, earrings, and head accessories that I think are cute! However, what I have to decide is the combination that matches just one dress.
What I was curious about was, “What kind of coordination do actual brides choose?”
I want to see real examples from actual brides!
Don’t you wonder what kind of earrings, necklaces, hairstyles, and hair accessories everyone is combining for their wedding day? ><
By the way, are they even wearing a necklace???
Let's take a look at wedding reports from actual brides to see what combinations they chose♩

What I learned from stylish brides about wearing accessories...
I introduced coordination examples of hair accessories, earrings, and necklaces paired with pure white wedding dresses from eight brides*
What I found out was,
☑ Sparkling jewel headpieces are tremendously popular
☑ Many brides choose to go without a necklace if the headpiece is ornate
☑ While earrings are a must, brides often select larger types that fit tightly to the ear, and if they sway, they tend to opt for more subdued choices.
That was what I discovered!
When searching for earrings, necklaces, and head accessories, you’ll find tons of cute products, but you might wonder, “How will it all look together?”
Furthermore, even when looking at brides on Instagram, it’s rare to find clear photos where all the accessories are properly displayed, making it difficult to gauge.
Do some research and find your ideal coordination♡
