It’s no secret that the dress is the undeniable star of any wedding day look, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of your ensemble shouldn’t be any less special or dazzling. The dress also tends to be the most costly item on a brides shopping list, which makes our edit of affordable wedding accessories all the more necessary.

You can expect chic bridal clutches that can be carried everywhere from your rehearsal dinner to your post-ceremony celebrations; delicate opera gloves and dainty hair accessories for the ultra-fashion bride, and elegant but still comfortable wedding shoes to make dancing all night long a piece of cake (literally!). While contemporary brands, like Staud, Reformation, and DeMellier, are the heavy hitters here, luxury labels like Rodarte, Bode, Simone Rocha, and Vivienne Westwood, also happen to have an affordable wedding accessory or two.
When setting off on your search, we suggest starting with something that fits the overall vibe and aesthetic of your big day, whether it’s J.Crew’s pearl-adorned top-handle bag for your ceremony off the coast or a pair of simple strappy sandals from Larroudé for your downtown city wedding. The style of your wedding dress is also important to consider–does it lean more towards the simpler side and you need a dramatic hair bow from Jennifer Behr or statement jewelry from Oscar de la Renta to amp it up? Or does it speak for itself, requiring only a pair of minimalist ballet flats from Le Monde Beryl or Clio Peppiatt’s embellished headband? No matter what kind of bride you are, there’s a dream-worthy–and under $500—accessory for each and every occasion to come.
And the best part of all? Unlike your one-of-a-kind wedding gown, many of these affordable wedding accessories can easily find a place in your everyday wardrobe long after the honeymoon. Below, everything but your dress–all for under $500.
