1 Wedding Dress Styled For 3 Different Brides

A bride has a million opportunities to show off her POV during the day (or weekend) of celebrations, but let's be honest, most of that self-expression usually boils down to the gown. We're here to beg you to reconsider.
After all, of your entire wedding day ensemble, your dress is probably the one piece you'll never wear again… so, why spend so much energy and money on it? In our opinion, it's the shoes and accessories that will really make your outfit.
With that in mind, styling around one great, under-$1,000 dress, we've come up with three very different wedding-day outfits made up of accessories you'll want to wear time and again, for a little cost-per-wear (and sentimental) value.

Kate Middleton's wedding was kind of the best thing ever, and you're looking to elicit a little jaw-dropping of your own. Don't go for all-white shoes or too-precious accessories. Choose a shoe, earrings, and a clutch that you'll be able to wear out again — perhaps to your best friend's wedding?

You're more likely to get married in your backyard than in a giant cathedral, so make sure your wedding look says "I love ya!" instead of "And now we will wed." Glittery flats keep things pretty but laid-back, and that floral crown can definitely be worn again — during your annual Coachella love romp, for starters.

Cult Gaia White Paper Rose Crown, $75, available at Cult Gaia; Nars Laguna Illuminator, $30, available at Nars; Phase Eight Maria Wedding Dress, $775, available at House of Fraser; Steve Mono Sara L2 Clutch, $148, available at Farfetch; Wendy Mink Floral Hammered Cuff, $223, available at Charm & Chain; Miu Miu Glitter Embellished Leather Sandal, $691, available at MyTheresa.
