From pearl-drenched headbands to statement collars and frosty sparkle, here are the bridal accessory and jewellery trends we're loving for winter weddings this season.
Winter Bridal Accessories: What's Hot This Season
There's something magical about a winter wedding. Think candlelit receptions, frosty mornings, cosy layers and that soft, glowy light that makes every photo look like a film still. ❄️
Winter brides can also be braver with their accessories. With longer sleeves, capes and richer fabrics in the mix, this is the season for a bit more sparkle and drama.
Here's what's trending in bridal accessories and jewellery for winter weddings this season, and how to wear each look.
1. Pearls, pearls and more pearls
Pearls are a timeless bridal classic, but this winter they feel fresh again. Think pearl-trimmed headbands, scattered pearl hair pins and pearl drop earrings that look beautiful against winter-white and ivory fabrics.
How to wear it: Scatter pearl pins through a soft, low bun for a "snowfall" effect. Add simple pearl drops and let them be the star.

2. Bows are still having a moment
The bow trend isn't going anywhere, and it suits winter brides perfectly. Satin bows, pearl-embellished bows and oversized bows worn at the back of a sleek updo all give a romantic, slightly vintage feel.
How to wear it: Pin a statement bow at the base of a chignon, or clip a sparkly bow above a half-up style.

3. Statement necklines: collars and chokers
On the catwalk this season, necklaces are getting bigger and bolder. Sculptural collars, polished chokers and oversized pendants were everywhere. For brides, that means a dramatic statement necklace with a strapless or square-neck dress, or a delicate choker for a romantic finish.
How to wear it: Pick one statement piece and keep everything else simple. A bold collar with pared-back studs and a sleek bun is chic and modern.
4. Winter sparkle and crystal embellishment
Winter is made for sparkle. Crystal hair vines, sparkling slides and embellished headbands catch the light beautifully, especially at evening receptions and candlelit venues.
How to wear it: Weave a crystal hair vine through a braided updo, or tuck a pair of sparkly slides above each ear for a red-carpet finish.

5. Florals with a frosty twist
Floral accessories aren't just for spring. This season it's all about rosettes, porcelain-style flowers and crystal blooms. They're delicate and sophisticated, and perfect for a winter wonderland theme.
How to wear it: Pin a floral comb into a romantic low updo, or pair floral earrings with a veil for a soft, ethereal look.

6. Gold that glows
Gold has been one of the biggest bridal trends of the year, and it looks especially beautiful in winter, warming up ivory gowns and glowing in candlelight. Mixing gold with pearls is one of our favourite combinations right now.
How to wear it: Try gold earrings with a pearl headband, or a gold hair vine for a timeless, warm look.

7. Cosy layers, finished with sparkle
Winter brides are swapping bare shoulders for capes, faux fur wraps, satin gloves and cropped feather jackets. The secret is pairing your cosy layers with accessories that still shine.
How to wear it: With a high-neck cape or jacket, skip the necklace and go bold with your hair accessories and earrings instead.
Our top styling tips for winter brides
- Think about your neckline. High necks and capes call for statement earrings and hair pieces. Strapless and square necklines leave room for a necklace.
- Choose one hero piece. Let one accessory lead and keep the rest of the look simple.
- Match your metals. Gold, silver or rose gold all work. Just keep your tones consistent across your hair accessories and jewellery.
- Try everything on with your hairstyle. Bring your accessories to your hair trial so your stylist can place them perfectly.
- Don't forget your bridesmaids. Matching pins or earrings make a lovely thank-you gift and tie the whole bridal party together.
