How to Accessorise Your Prom Dress: The Complete Guide
You've found your dream prom dress — now it's time to complete the look. The right accessories can elevate your outfit from beautiful to truly unforgettable. At Vellure Couture in Northampton, our expert stylists help every client create a complete, cohesive look for prom night.
Jewellery: Less Is More for Couture Gowns
If your gown features heavy embellishments — crystals, beading or feathers — keep your jewellery minimal and elegant. A simple diamond or pearl drop earring is all you need. For simpler gowns, a statement necklace or chandelier earrings can add the wow factor.
- Crystal gowns: Stud earrings or small drop earrings only
- Satin gowns: Pearl or gold jewellery works beautifully
- Feather gowns: Keep jewellery delicate and understated
Shoes: Comfort Meets Glamour
You'll be on your feet all night, so choose heels you can actually dance in. Strappy stilettos in metallic or nude tones are a classic choice. Block heels offer more stability without sacrificing elegance.
Bags: Small & Chic
A small clutch bag in satin, velvet or metallic leather is the perfect prom accessory. Choose a colour that complements rather than matches your gown.
Hair & Beauty
Consider your hairstyle when choosing earrings — an updo shows off drop earrings beautifully, while loose waves pair well with studs or small hoops.
