8. Fairy Godmother tip; if you combine white accessories with an ivory gown, it will look like a mis-match and your gown will appear off colour.

9. Fairy Godmother tip; bridal gowns lighter than off-white are called diamond white, wear either gold and silver toned accessories.

10. Fairy Godmother tip; if you're wearing a coloured bridal gown you can wear either gold or silver to accessorise. Here's a tip; if your fabric colour is a warm tone, wear gold accessories and if it's a cool tone then wear silver accessories.
