A New Accessory Trend

A New Accessory Trend

By Sohil Mistry

Statement necklaces are a trend of the past. In their place, a fresh and fashion-forward accessory is making its way into the bridal world: the neck scarf.

Once brides say yes to the dress, the next step is curating the perfect accessories—often starting with earrings, a necklace, and of course, the veil. But more and more brides are moving away from traditional pairings and embracing pieces that feel both modern and romantic. Enter: the neck scarf.

A bridal neck scarf blends the function of a veil with the softness and movement of a lightweight accessory. It drapes delicately across the neck or shoulders, adding an unexpected layer of texture and elegance. Whether made of sheer tulle, silk chiffon, or a lightly embroidered organza, a neck scarf creates an ethereal effect that shifts as the bride walks, giving off that floaty, dreamlike quality we all love. You’ll see that Neve gown had an added neck scarf for our runway show in April to show off versatility of the gown and accessories.

It’s also an incredibly versatile piece. Worn as a bow, knotted with a chic edge, or softly draped, it can be styled to suit any aesthetic—from vintage romance to modern minimalism. Best of all, it offers brides a fresh way to personalize their look without adding too much or competing with their gown’s details.

A modern take on the neck scarf trend is choosing a gown with a built-in high neckline or mock neck. This silhouette offers that same graceful framing around the face and neck, without the need for an added accessory. Our stunning bride Abby wore our Eva gown, which features a beautifully tailored mock neck, for her intimate wedding at Mouzon House in Saratoga Springs. Her look was timeless yet fashion-forward—an effortless blend of structure and softness.

For brides seeking something a little different—something editorial yet timeless—the neck scarf (or its modern counterpart, the mock neck) is a beautiful way to reimagine bridal tradition.
