The Barn at Belle Hills • April 10, 2024

Every bride that graces The Barn at Belle Hills embodies beauty through breathtaking wedding attire and the love and joy that emanates from within. Undoubtedly, the brides illuminate our entire wedding venue in Crittenden, Kentucky. The transformative power of accessories accentuates their style, which plays a crucial role in completing the bridal look. What sorts of wedding accessories go great with a rustic wedding? We're here to give you the inside details of some of our favorite pieces to enhance your rustic look. 

Enchanting Hair Accessories

Hair accessories add the perfect finishing touch to a bride's ensemble while enhancing the overall theme of the wedding. For the rustic bride, opt for hair accessories that capture the essence of nature and romance. There is an array of enchanting options to consider, including:


  • A floral crown woven from delicate blooms and foliage for an ethereal touch.
  • Delicate vintage lace headbands for timeless elegance.
  • Hair clips or combs adorned with pearls or crystals for classic embellishments. 

Nature-inspired jewelry

Consider jewelry inspired by nature, particularly pieces featuring intricate metalwork that resembles organic patterns found in leaves, vines, or flowers. This imagery evokes the charm of the natural world, aligning well with a rustic aesthetic. Additionally, jewelry showcasing a turquoise gemstone symbolizes the countryside with its earthy hues and marbled patterns. Turquoise is the quintessential rustic gemstone that exudes timeless beauty, tranquility, and connection to the Earth.

Earthy Veils

Earthy veils are lovely for a rustic wedding aesthetic, as their soft, flowing fabrics fuse seamlessly with the outdoors and complement a relaxed atmosphere. A few veil options to consider are: 


  • Fingertip Veil: A fingertip-length veil adds a touch of elegance without overpowering the overall look.
  • Cut-Edge Veil: A cut-edge veil features raw edges that are left untouched, giving it an organic appearance.
  • Veil with Floral Accents: Incorporating floral accents like lace appliques symbolizes the countryside's natural beauty. 

A Cherished Locket

A locket's timeless appeal and heartfelt value make it an excellent accessory for brides seeking to incorporate sentimentality into their celebration. In a rustic barn wedding venue surrounded by nature, lockets add a touch of old-world elegance while celebrating present love. When the locket is home to a photo of a beloved family member or friend who could not be physically present, the locket becomes more than an accessory. It becomes a symbol of remembrance and love that transcends space and time.
