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, these days it's all about the accessories.
- Pnina Tornai says that "accessorizing is key" to creating a show stopping bridal look.
- Add drama by choosing accessories that are unique to your style.
- Don't overlook budget-friendly pieces that can make a big impact on your look.
When it comes to wedding dresses, she jokes that, "We’ve seen it all," making the case for why brides should be looking to personalize their ensemble with 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."
In fact, that's what Tornai predicts will dominate bridal fashion this year: "That’s where I think we’re heading, less on the dress," and more on the accessories.
Just like with everyday outfits, accessorizing can completely transform your look. Whether mesh gloves with pearl accents, vintage-inspired head pieces, or blinged out heels, Pnina Tornai confirms that the right accessories will take your bridal look to new heights.
