For more than 70 years, thousands of brides have traveled to Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City to find their wedding day looks.

While bridal trends are constantly changing, one trend has stayed true—strapless wedding dresses are still our most popular neckline. Universally flattering and timeless, brides often choose a strapless style – especially because they are easy to accessorize! Not sure where to begin? Check out our top ways to style a strapless dress, below.
1. An embellished veil
We love the way a beautifully embellished veil looks with a simple strapless gown, such as a satin mermaid or a silk mikado fit and flare, like the styles featured above. By choosing a plain fabric without embellishment for your gown, you’re free to add a veil that WOWS—think beading, sequins, lace appliqués, or satin trim.

2. A bolero
Boleros are a great option if you’d like two looks in one, or if you’re getting married in a religious ceremony with a reception elsewhere. Whether you purchase a style with a bolero included (like the Pronovias style featured above) or you add one suggested by our accessories consultants, boleros add a classic and traditional look to your wedding dress.

3. Statement earrings
Jazz up a simpler style with a fun pair of statement earrings and a chic chignon. Diamond drops, colorful fringe, oversized pearls—whatever suits your fancy. Another great way to incorporate this style is to keep things more traditional for the ceremony with a classic bridal hairstyle and veil, and then sweep your hair up into a sleek pony, pop in some fun earrings and swipe on a red lip for the reception. The possibilities are endless .

4. A simple headpiece
With a dress that speaks for itself, like a princess-inspired ruffled ballgown or a sexy crystal encrusted mermaid, all you need is something simple to top it off. Our suggestion: a small comb, delicate hair vine or barely-there headband should do the trick.

5. Statement heels
If you just so happen to be interested in baring a little leg, we’ve got styles for you! We love how fun and flirty a statement shoe (think a bold red heel, or your something blue) looks with a strapless gown featuring a high-low hem or a daring slit.
