Access All (Accessory) Areas.

Choosing all of the elements of your wedding ‘look’ can be so daunting. With so many people having opinions and so many websites and magazines out there, sometimes a bit of guidance can be all you need to make those all-important finishing touches just right.
Most brides will find their dream dress, have a theme and/or color scheme but what about the whole story? Looking for accessory heaven in the city? Last week I was lucky enough to meet Sangeeta and Olivier, owners of London’s Olivier Laudus.

Olivier Laudus 

Situated near to super chic Bond Street is Olivier Laudus, a calm yet buzzing boutique where the focus lies in wedding accessories. From veils, bridal bags, hair slides to ring cushions, there’s a wide range and everything is sold individually so you can mix and match and even have items bespoke to your exact needs.
What’s more, there is never the pressure of buying the collection in full if it is not what you require. Usually, less is invariably more and sometimes it doesn’t take much to take a dress from stunning, to super stunning.
This is where carefully chosen accessories come in to play. Whether you want your bridesmaids to have a touch of something special or perhaps you are missing a pair of earrings to frame a tousled hairdo, you can book a consultation with Olivier or Sangeeta who will personally recommend pieces to compliment your overall look.
A big revival in wedding trends has been vintage gold. Sometimes this particular look can be a bit overwhelming. The pieces pictured here are warm in color with a hint of art deco style thanks to the interesting angles, which could really bring a cream dress alive. I loved this particular collection and the subtle ‘nod’ to this theme.

Speaking of classics, one of the most popular items for many brides to wear is pearls. Olivier Laudus have a great range if you want to go for this favorite with a pair of pearl studs perhaps. Or, if you want a bit more of a statement, these over-sized cluster bracelets and tiara’s give a modern twist without being too fussy.

 If you feel like tuning into tiara trends, a big range is available at the boutique to browse and try on. I can confirm, they are completely comfortable once on, so yes, you can wear it all day and evening!

What’s great about getting a bit of impartial help is, accessories are there to enhance not hide. To emphasize and not to overpower. So whether you spot your pieces online or go into Oliver Laudus for a consultation, you can be sure of no hard sell, but a carefully considered approach to affordable luxury that is specially tailored to you. If you hadn’t even imagined yourself wearing a veil, the best time and place to look is when you can see everything else alongside it. An extensive range of veils is available to view in the boutique, as shown below.
