It's not about only making a statement with the dress; bridal jewelry is also having a moment. Bedazzled crowns and hair accessories are some of the most popular trends. Floral jewelry — including a cuff of real flowers — is a fun twist to a traditional look, especially for bridesmaids. When the bracelets are this special, you can even skip the bouquet!

Colors

If you want to bring the wow factor, it starts from the moment your guests receive their invitations in the mail. From leather cases to picture frames, invitations are getting an upgrade with unboxing features. To save some money, Kay recommends opting for a digital RSVP because it saves on extra cards and postage.

Cakes
