Bridal Accessory Stores: Retailers Selling Bridal & Wedding Accessories

Bridal accessories are the finishing pieces of a wedding outfit, bought separately from the gown and often from specialist retailers: veils, gloves, garters, bridal shoes, headpieces and hand fans, together with the handbags and jewelry that complete the look. This directory page lists bridal accessory retailers and connects to the bridal pages across Apparel Search, wedding gown retailers, bridal veils, bridal gloves and bridal shoes, and to reference material a bride or a retailer uses alongside shopping, the veil and wedding gown definitions, advice on storing wedding gowns, and a guide to becoming a bridal shop owner. The retailers listed include DKM Accessories, which began with handbags and grew into private label clothing, custom shoes, jewelry and bridal accessories, and Mariposa Fans by Hot Couture, makers of handcrafted fashion fans carried by brides and wedding guests for outdoor ceremonies. The category links appear high on this page, directly below this introduction, because a directory's job is navigation first.

Mariposa Fans : Hot Couture is the brainchild of the marketer who brought Baileys from an unknown category to a million case brand with a place among the classic liqueurs. Now, Susan M. Lupien, President of Hot Couture has turned her razor sharp insights towards another "hot category," namely fashion accessories. Zeroing in on the turn of the Millennium fascination with functionalism wrapped in romance, she took a look at a fashion note that has been around for centuries and is just the solution for bringing together today's frenetic pace and its longing for a gentler, more romantic times. Enter the hand-held, handcrafted fashion fan. Lupien saw the wilting spectators at golf, polo, and tennis matches; theater audiences; and dancers on the club scene and observed their furtive efforts to recycle napkins and programs into sources of a cooling breeze. Familiar with the sourcing of luxurious European imports, she boarded a jet and headed out to find where the skill and craft of shaping chic hand-held fans still existed. She found them, and set to work with her Design Director, Chris Royer.

The Bridal Accessory Pages

The bridal fan page linked from here lists fan retailers for weddings specifically, while the veil, glove, garter and shoe pages in the wider directory take each accessory in turn. Bridal trade shows, linked above, are where retailers source these lines, and the storing wedding gowns guide covers the after-the-day question every accessory buyer eventually faces: veils and gloves store with the gown, cleaned, boxed and kept from light.

Retailers listed on this page sell across the bridal range rather than a single piece, which suits the way brides actually shop, one appointment, one color palette, several pieces matched together. Single-accessory specialists are on their own pages, beginning with the bridal fans page in this same folder.

Common Questions

What counts as a bridal accessory?

Everything worn or carried with the wedding outfit beyond the gown itself: veils and headpieces, gloves, garters, bridal shoes, hand fans, evening bags, and jewelry chosen for the day. Brides buy these pieces to complete a specific dress, so color matching matters, ivory, white and blush shades differ between makers, and specialists recommend ordering accessories with the gown in hand or with a fabric swatch. This directory groups the retailers who sell those pieces, with separate pages for bridal fans, veils, gloves and shoes.

When should bridal accessories be bought?

After the gown is chosen and before the final fittings. The veil length, glove length and shoe heel all interact with the dress: a veil is chosen against the gown's train and neckline, gloves against its sleeves, and shoes must be ready for the hem fitting, since the dress is hemmed to the shoe. Fans and bags are the flexible pieces and can be bought last. Retailers in this directory sell both the planned pieces and the finishing ones.

Why would a bride carry a fan?

For outdoor and summer ceremonies, a hand fan is a working accessory as much as a decorative one: it moves air in heat, at garden, beach and tent weddings where neither the bride nor the guests can step into air conditioning. Mariposa Fans, listed here, built its line on exactly those settings, spectators wilting at golf, polo and tennis matches and dancers on club floors, and its handcrafted fans became a bridal staple. A fan also photographs well and gives nervous hands something graceful to hold.
