Choosing Accessories for an October Wedding

Attending an October wedding requires thoughtful planning, especially when it comes to accessories that complement your outfit while keeping you warm. Handmade accessories, available at Meli Design’s artisan stall at Greenwich Market, can enhance your look and add personal flair. The key is to select pieces that function well with your layered attire.

Layering with Handmade Scarves

In October, the weather can be unpredictable, making layers essential. A handmade scarf not only provides warmth but also adds a splash of colour and texture to your outfit. Opt for scarves in rich autumnal hues such as deep reds or mustard yellows to reflect the seasonal landscape.

Styling Handmade Scarves

When styling your scarf, consider the overall vibe of your outfit. For a sophisticated look, pair a silk scarf with a long coat. Experiment with different ways of wearing it, like draping it over your shoulders or tying it neatly around your neck. A well-chosen scarf can transform a simple dress into an elegant ensemble.

Incorporating Handcrafted Bags

A handcrafted bag is both a functional and fashionable addition to your wedding guest attire. Look for bags that are not only stylish but also practical enough to hold your essentials. At Meli Design, you’ll find unique designs that stand out, ensuring your accessory is as memorable as the occasion.

Choosing the Right Handcrafted Bag

Consider the formality of the wedding when selecting your bag. A sleek clutch with subtle embellishments is perfect for a formal evening event, while a crossbody bag in a classic leather finish works well for daytime weddings. The craftsmanship of a handcrafted bag adds a personal touch to your attire.

Jewellery to Complement Layers

Jewellery is the icing on the cake for any wedding guest outfit. Opt for pieces that coordinate with your layers, like a striking pair of earrings or a statement necklace. Meli Design offers needle lace jewellery that provides a unique blend of tradition and modernity, making it the perfect choice for a sophisticated look.

How to Style Jewellery with Layers

If you’re wearing layers, choose jewellery that complements rather than competes. Statement earrings can highlight your face, particularly when paired with a high neckline or layered scarves. Keep your other jewellery minimal to avoid a cluttered look.

Elegant Brooches for a Classic Touch

Brooches are a timeless accessory that can add a touch of elegance to your outfit. Use them to secure your scarf or add a decorative element to your coat. Brooches with designs inspired by nature, like leaves or flowers, are especially fitting for autumn.

Brooch Placement for Maximum Effect

Place your brooch thoughtfully to enhance your outfit. Pin it to the lapel of your coat for a classic look, or use it to gather fabric at your shoulder. Brooches can also be used as a unique embellishment on a handbag strap, tying together your accessories beautifully.
