14 Budget-Friendly Bridal Accessories for Adding Sentiment to Your Special Day
By Sophie Lindley - 15th April 2026
Organising a wedding is undoubtedly a stressful time, both financially and emotionally. You might think you've got all your ducks in a row - you've ordered the cake, booked the photographer, reached out to the band, and sourced your dream dress, but the smaller details can often be overlooked when you're budgeting your money. Although cheaper than the big details, accessories, decorations, and other refinements can soon add up in cost, and factoring this into your planning is vital to ensure you're not spilling too far over your initial budget.
Opting for more affordable pieces doesn't have to mean you'll miss out on sentiment, however. We offer a wonderfully affordable range of accessories, decorative pieces, and keepsakes to ensure you're ticking every box of your wedding planning process, and we've listed some of these below in order to guide you to your perfect finishing touches. Some of our pieces have been featured in some gorgeous styled bridal shoots, too, for extra inspiration, and all photography featured shows our beautiful bridal jewellery, accessories, and bouquets adding just the right amount of sentiment to a wedding day.

How can I add cheap sentimental touches to a wedding?
Adding sentiment to your special day doesn't have to be expensive. Opting for pieces that carry meaning and are likely to be treasured can be as simple as crafting your own creations or foraging for heirlooms, ensuring little-to-no extra cost is involved. Some examples of incorporating sentimental touches to your bridal accessories could include:
- Picking wildflowers from a meaningful place for hair accessories or table decorations
- Tying coloured bows into your dress, onto a bouquet, or threading them into a veil
- Wearing heirloom jewellery or accessories that belonged to someone special
- Embroidering initials or names into a veil, handkerchief, or dress seam
- Handmaking your vow cards, personal letters, or place cards

What affordable accessories can I wear on my wedding day?
Scrolling wedding inspo on social media can lead many to believe that they need expensive designer accessories to stand out on their wedding day, but this simply isn't the case. Beautiful jewellery pieces will shine regardless of price tag, and for pieces you may only wear once, there is no need to splurge or go overboard.
Our jewellery collection is bursting with beautiful rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings that are perfect for completing a bridal look. Whether you choose durable stainless steel, timeless sterling silver, or trend-led gold plated, each polished piece can really help elevate your finished look, and give you an extra special focal point in your wedding photos.
Some of our favourite pieces for adding the finishing touches to a beautiful bridal look include:
- Bows are BIG this year, and these Stainless Steel Bow Pearl Drop Earrings in Gold are ideal for a timeless romantic vibe on a budget
- If glittering crystals are more your thing, these Star and Crystal Drop Earrings in Gold will add subtle sparkle to your finished bridal look
- Pearls are always popular, and this Pearl Heart Pendant Necklace in Gold is a beautiful way to add a classic bridal touch to your special day
If you're keen to put together a range of accessories that work cohesively with one another, don't put pressure on yourself to find a full jewellery set, as this can often be very expensive and end up using a lot of your valuable wedding research time sourcing. Instead, opt for pieces with matching details, like pearls or crystals, to ensure each accessory flows to the next and creates a stunning stylised look that works perfectly with your dream dress.
Model Liberty Angel wears our Stainless Steel Mixed Pearl Chain Bracelet in Gold alongside our Stainless Steel Pearl Chain Necklace in Gold - two individual styles that both incorporate the classic pearl in a delicate way. Once worn together, they provide a timeless bridal look, with ivory accents that subtly catch the light.

How can I source budget-friendly bouquets for my bridal party?

Flowers are often cited as one of the most surprisingly expensive parts of a wedding budget. They're a key part of a wedding day, sure, but the hefty price tag of a few fresh arrangements can leave some bride and grooms' heads in a spin. If you're looking to cut back on major costs and you're keen to try alternative options when it comes to floral arrangements, decorations, or accessories, knowing all the choices available is vital to ensuring you're picking the right blooms for you and your day.
Dried flowers offer a timeless, sustainable solution for the big day by bypassing the high environmental cost and short lifespan of fresh blooms. Unlike fresh arrangements that wilt within hours, these naturally preserved stems remain beautiful for years as a lasting keepsake, providing a sophisticated, low-waste alternative that eliminates the need for expensive last-minute deliveries or refrigerated transport. Not only do the arrangements from our in-house dried flower brand The Norfolk Flower Room offer meaningful mementos and stunning bursts of colour and texture, they're much cheaper than fresh flowers, too.
From buttonholes to bouquets, our bridal dried flower collection is full of beautiful blooms for your big day. Some of our favourite arrangements include:
- Our Elsie Dried Flower Bridal Wedding Bouquet includes so many stunning wildflowers to give a summer meadow effect, ideal for a rustic, countryside wedding
- This Dorothy Dried Flower Bridesmaid Wedding Posy is part of a wider ‘Dorothy’ collection and features bright whites and fresh greens for a softer and gentler arrangement
- Our Margot Set of 6 Dried Flower Wedding Buttonholes are an affordable and easy way to tick off all your groomsmen and display pretty pops of pastel in wildflower texture
Our team also offer a bespoke service, allowing you to completely customise your collection of florals to suit your colour scheme or personal style. Start your journey to your perfect wedding arrangements below.
Cost-effective keepsakes for wedding day mementos
Keepsakes of your wedding day are so personal to the recipient, so as the bride (or the groom), you may already have in mind what you want to gift, be gifted, or treasure from your wedding day celebrations. If you're looking for some inspo on some top choices when it comes to wedding gifts for the bride, the groom, or just little pieces that burst with nostalgic joy after the day is over, we've got some ideas below:
- Jewellery is a classic option, perfect for a groom to gift to a bride as a memento of the day. This Stainless Steel Swirl Heart Locket Necklace in Gold can have a special photo of the bride and groom added for a sweet, sentimental keepsake, and can even be worn on the wedding day to help elevate her bridal look
- For him, a special pair of customised cufflinks like these Personalised Message Mother of Pearl Round Cufflinks in Silver can be ideal for use on the day and for other events and occasions long after, offering him a meaningful memento of the most special day of his life
- Guests love wedding favours as little gifts on the table, and ensuring you consider them when you choose your pieces doesn't have to come at a premium cost. This Set of 2 Personalised Wooden Birth Flower Place Settings are perfect for an intimate wedding and can be treasured by your guests as decorations long after your big day
