Love these ideas, especially the blue shoes!
Carry a Clutch
It's the perfect size for lipstick and a copy of your vows, and it syncs up with nearly any gown -- especially this strapless stunner. But the best thing about this ruffled tote is its bright, happy hue.

Slip On Bold Shoes
Give standard bridal pumps the boot, and step into your something blue. The key? Show them off with a leg-baring silhouette like this.

Rethink White
Every bit as gorgeous as the classic bridal color, this silk chiffon gown's ethereal shade of aquamarine is a soft, sophisticated surprise.
Turn Heads with Earrings
Against the bare skin exposed by this plunging crepe de chine number, a pair of dramatic opal drops make a shimmering statement.

Put On a Jacket
A silk faille bolero in full-on flamingo pink will broadcast your arrival at the reception. Accentuate its exaggerated volume by wearing it over a fit-and-flare gown.

Go for Gloves
