Accessories for black wedding dresses.

Matching a black wedding dress with the perfect accessories transforms a bold choice into a breathtaking bridal vision. Leah S Designs offers a curated selection of accessories that complement a dramatic black gown.

A black bridal veil embellished with lightly sequined lace is a standout choice for a touch of elegance and a nod to traditional bridal aesthetics. The fingertip-length veil adds a soft, romantic flair to the dress’s colour, blending tradition with modernity. Additionally, Leah’s Designs features sparkling and coloured belts that enhance the waistline and introduce a pop of colour or shine.

When it comes to hair accessories, the choices are as enchanting as they are versatile. From delicate hairpins to black tiaras, and combs in silver, gold, or rose gold, these pieces can effortlessly complement any hairstyle, be it a sleek updo or cascading curls. They not only add a touch of royalty but also seamlessly blend with the overall bridal look, ensuring the bride shines on her special day.

Consider incorporating jewelry that mirrors the gown’s unique color. Choosing pieces with darker stones or settings, such as black diamonds or smoky quartz, can create a harmonious and cohesive look.

What Our brides are saying.

Elissa Fletcher
This bridal store really was my saving grace.
When I started my wedding planning I was extremely nervous about getting a wedding dress. Right from the beginning I new I wanted a dress with black in it, I contacted local stores and they literally said to me “what you are after is not in fashion, it will never be in fashion, don’t even bother”. I was extremely disheartened, my best friends got married a few years ago and got her dress from Leah S and I went to her fitting with her and they were so nice, so i rang them and told them my vision and they told me to come in in and they could show me few things and take it from there. I was extremely nervous for my first appointment to a wedding dress store because I was scared that I wouldn’t fit into the classic “wedding dress” vision but the ladies at Leash S were so kind and nice and I literally had 1 appointment and tried on 2 dresses and found my dream dress in 1hour! It was absolutely incredible! I felt so Included in this store rather than a freak , and the whole way though with the fittings they were so nice to me. I think that’s why it’s so important for me to do this review! If you are looking for a wedding dress that isn’t your normal wedding dress PLEASE consider coming here first! They treat you really nicely and understand that not everyone is wanting to be a fluffy white bride on their wedding day.

I had the most amazing experience here!!
I went on Saturday with a few girls, I had a screenshot of *the* dress I NEEDED to try on and some screen shots of others i also liked.
I was able to try on all of the dresses and then some. The original dress I screenshot and adored ended up being my dream dress on as well. I went to another store later that day to try on more dresses just to make sure that really was the dress for me and just nothing compared. I made arrangements to visit 5 days later where I did my hair and make up to get the full picture of how I’d look and it was just amazing. The whole process was so easy and fun. The staff were all so happy and helpful. I can’t believe how easy it was to find my dream dress

I have the Eloise dress on the ironing board today I have the Eloise dress on the ironing board today, I love this lace pattern 💓 unlike most of our dresses, this style is made with sheet lace. So it’s a lace fabric, rather than individual lace pieces sewn on to the fabric. 🧩
