apm Monaco
Way back when apm Monaco made its first splash in Hong Kong, we were the first in line to get our hands on their trendy statement pieces, (check out our review here). Whether you’re looking for simple studs or blown up bling their sleek sartorial pieces are the perfect addition to your wedding look. All of their accessories are inspired by the south of France and they have a crazy turnaround on collections every month, meaning that their range never gets stale and stays miles ahead of their competitors. We’ve been gushing over their Mediterance Collection which you can take a peep at here. The whimsy geometrical detailing has us daydreaming of mermaids in San Tropez.

Carat
Artificial diamonds are shaking up the world of jewellery at the moment and Carat’s definitely at the forefront of the movement. Offering budget-friendly alternatives to horrendously expensive mined gemstones, Carat is loved by celebrities like Michelle Williams and is a global contender with boutiques in eight different countries. Their wedding range is the height of timeless elegance and they have the stunning ability to manage both elaborate pieces like their Flavia Pearl Drops and simpler pieces like the Simply Marquise to an impressive quality. Nobody will be able to tell the gems aren’t even real.

Charlotte Olympia
Channel a bit of old Hollywood glamour with Charlotte Olympia’s new Runaway Bride collection! The London based brand, renowned for their classical sense of sophistication, has really stepped things up this year with a new range that combines traditional lace with bold red heart and kiss motifs. Each of their handmade shoes are full of the brand’s trademark energy and creativity and we think that their red Love Me heels would be so sweet peeking out under the hem of your wedding gown.

Claireworkshop
Even if more brides are opting out of traditional veils, there’s something to be said for the awestruck look on a groom’s face when he lifts the tulle out of the way. Claireworkshop on Etsy creates beautiful and wallet-friendly wedding veils in a variety of laces and styles, with a huge international following in the US and over a thousand satisfied wedding couples. (Haven’t figured Etsy out yet? Check out our Guide to Etsy here!) Each of Claire’s handcrafted veils can even be customised to a certain length, whether you want a dramatic floor-sweeping spectacle or something short and sweet. Every single one is crafted with love and care, rivaling the couture veils you’d find in upmarket bridal boutiques. She also offers a series of wedding tiaras (we love this Gatsby-esque creation) and she’s based in Hong Kong, meaning that you won’t have to pay extortionate shipping fees.

Down the Aisle
Rachel Sung started this homegrown bridal accessory company when she discovered that she couldn’t find a single piece across Hong Kong that suited her vision of perfect wedding accessories. Her beautiful handmade creations wouldn’t look out of place in the accessories department at Lane Crawford or Harvey Nichols, but thankfully they’re a slightly more reasonable price. She’s constantly creating new pieces to add to her selective collection-we can’t wait for her Chantelle circlet to be released-and you can buy her pieces from the ease of a computer on her Etsy store. The gorgeous nature-inspired headpieces are the perfect fit for an outdoor wedding: you’ll look exactly like a Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Hatwoman
We know you sassy girls are leading the charge on the fashion front, which is why we had to mention Hatwoman’s selection of show-stopping couture hats. The exclusive boutique was a response to Hong Kong’s lack of luxury headwear shops and features a number of one-off hats by internationally renowned designers. There’s something for every personality, whether it be a witty beige pillbox hat or one of Philip Treacy’s glamorous slice headpieces, and their cocktail collection features a series of adventurous takes on the traditional wedding veil. Join their league of fashion fans alongside the greats like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar and unleash your inner Kate Middleton for a truly royal wedding.

Jan Logan
The jewels from this simple and sleek Australian brand have been hoarded by Hollywood starlets like Jennifer Lopez and Rose Byrne, and now their new bridal collection will have your guests starry-eyed too. Founded by Jan Logan, a woman who never stopped playing in her mother’s jewellery box, the bridal collection features sleek baguette cut diamond cuffs and Monaco-inspired beauties. Their gorgeous Caitlin earrings would look absolutely stunning paired with a regal chignon and, like all of their pieces, will easily stand the test of time with their simple grace.

Jenny Packham
Nobody does tasteful drama quite like UK brand Jenny Packham and we’ve been desperately flicking through her bridal accessories catalogue for more, more, more. Her modern reinterpretations of bridal classics are evidence of her status as a leading bridal retailer and we adore her creativity-whether she’s creating glittering mosaics out of navette Swarovski stones in her Kalmia headdress or channeling Audrey Hepburn a la Roman Holiday with a sleek Karis tiara. Unlike her rivals, she doesn’t tie herself to the stale ivory and white crystal standard and ventures into coloured headpieces in topaz and warm golds for the quirky bride. If you want to get your hands on one of her gorgeous pieces, you can either order online or wander down to their official Hong Kong reseller at The Wedding Shop. With fans like Dita Von Teese and Catherine Zeta-Jones in tow, you’ll be in good company on your wedding day.

Kate Spade
Your wedding day doesn’t have to be a sombre affair and Kate Spade’s playful bridal collection is the perfect splash of fun. This witty New York designer caters to brides-to-be wanting everything from shoes to a bit of wedding bling, but she’s even created a couple of awesome friendship pieces for you to share with your maid-of-honour. Whether she’s shaking up things with her wedding license plate bag or her frog prince studs, she’s sure to have you and your guests smiling all day. And for you ladies out there who’ve decided to don a bit of menswear on your big day, she’s even made an adorable pastel pink silk square perfect for your breast pocket.

Kotur
Kotur began life back in 2004 as a sleek, modern accessory company, but recently they’ve branched out into their very first shoe collection! Coveted by fashionistas and red carpet ripplers like Jessica Alba and Ali Larter, they combine the classic with the contemporary to create dreamy (and award-winning) clutches and heels that will have you skipping down the aisle. We love that they’ve got an option for every budget and one of our own Sassy Girls just had to have a pair of their golden Gilda heels, which would be a stunning accompaniment to your wedding dress. For ladies who have their hearts set on a garden wedding, don’t overlook their delicate floral Jardines or lace Margo clutch either. While they don’t have a store in Hong Kong, wander over to Hong Kong’s Harvey Nichols who stock their beautiful products.

L’Dezen Jewellery
It’s easy for jewellers to rely on stale designs and still make money. However, one of our That Girls Payal Shah won’t accept that for a minute. Coming from an architectural background in London, her one-of-a-kind haute couture designs are full of geometrical innovation and are consistently in demand by celebrity customers such as Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Carmen Electra. Offering more unusual jewellery choices and cuts, her slice and rose diamonds consistently feature in luxury publications and she isn’t afraid to use quirkier metal choices like rose gold or black rhodium either. Her bold award-winning pieces are definitely the ideal choice for the empowered modern bride.

Lane’s Bridal
You may have seen Lane’s Parisian chic boutiques popping up all over Central and now you can add their specialty bridal boutique to the list! Their company ethos is determined to destroy the outdated adage that too many cooks spoil the broth as they offer a range of exclusive luxury bridal brands in each of their boutiques, the more the merrier! They’ve certainly impressed the fashion world: renowned publications like Jessica and Harper’s Bazaar have used them in their cutting edge fashion editorials. The entire place is designed to look like a modern French salon, Marie Antoinette meets the modern woman if you will, and that carries into their delicate design aesthetic. Offering a number of Swarovski crystal tiaras, sashes and even boleros, you’ll be hard-pressed to leave this slice of France with just one piece.

Mrs Vintage
These homegrown vintage connoisseurs have a range of simple yet dazzlingly creative headpieces for your wedding day, ranging from Gatsby-esque lace headbands to sweet oversized floral clips. Personally, we adore their pretty pillbox creations that take us right back to the 1950s – perfect for the trendsetting bride (and all Mad Men fans!). Not only do they do beautiful vintage-inspired accessories, they also have a range of unique dresses that set them apart from other bridal boutiques and Hong Kong brands – separating themselves from mainstream bridal designs and charging boldly on. We love that they’ve also worked with Sandra from Simply Peachy, one of Sassy’s favourite wedding planners, on a series of bridal photo shoots – if they’re good enough for our resident wedding guru Sandra, they’ll be a marriage dream for you.

Olivia Headpieces
Fearlessness. Elegance. Beauty. These are the three words that this standout Canadian bridal brand feels encapsulate its accessories and we have to say that we definitely agree. Channeling a range of inspirations ranging from boho to vintage Hollywood, we’ve had our sights set on their art deco Audrey headband, which looks like something straight out of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Their range extends to wedding sashes and circlets, all created with sparkling Swarovski crystals and delicate lace appliques. Sold only at the luxury boutique Blush Bridal Couture in Hong Kong, you’ll be sure to have bridesmaids demanding to know your sartorial secrets by the end of the night.

This exclusive US brand is sold only in the most elite bridal boutiques and we’re lucky enough to have one of them in Hong Kong, namely the marriage maestros at HITCHED! Bridal Wear.
