In 2026, brides are saying 'I do' to more than just the dress of their dreams. According to iconic bridal designer and Say Yes to the Dress star Pnina Tornai, it's all about the accessories.
'When you're willing to wear incredible accessories, you don't need it to be on the dress,' Tornai explains. 'It can be a head piece, it can be gorgeous earrings, cuffs, shoes, a veil that makes a statement or tells a story.'
Tornai predicts that bridal fashion will shift focus from the dress to accessories. 'That's where I think we're heading, less on the dress,' she says, encouraging brides to personalize their ensemble with unique pieces.
From mesh gloves with pearl accents to vintage-inspired headpieces and blinged-out heels, the right accessories can completely transform your bridal look. Tornai emphasizes that layering accessories adds drama and personality without overwhelming the dress.
