Communion Dress Accessories: Veils, Shoes & More!

Completing the Look for Her Big Day

Once the perfect Communion dress is chosen, it’s time to add the finishing touches that make the look truly special. From delicate veils to elegant shoes and subtle jewellery, accessories play a huge role in creating a picture-perfect moment.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most popular Communion dress accessories — including the Communion dress veil and First Communion shoes — and offer styling tips to help you pull everything together beautifully.

👑 The Communion Dress Veil: Classic, Elegant, Timeless

The Communion dress veil is one of the most cherished accessories — a beautiful symbol of innocence and tradition. Whether short or long, with lace edging or beading, a veil adds a soft, graceful touch to your daughter’s outfit.

Types of veils we recommend:

• Tulle veils with lace or pearl details

• Shoulder-length veils for a neat, child-friendly option

• Veils with combs or headbands for easy and secure wear

We custom-match veils to every dress we make — so the fabric, shade, and design all flow together seamlessly.

👠 First Communion Shoes: Style + Comfort

When it comes to First Communion shoes, comfort is just as important as style. Remember: she’ll be walking, standing, and maybe even dancing — so avoid anything too high or stiff.

Our best shoe advice:

• Go for low heels or flats with a strap

• Choose white, ivory, or blush tones to match the dress

• Look for soft interiors or padded soles

• Avoid glittery styles that might shed onto the dress

We can help you select shoes during your dress consultation to ensure everything works together perfectly.

🧵 We Make the Accessories Too — And That Matters

Most of the accessories we offer — veils, capes, boleros, hairbands, and even some handbags — are handmade by us in our studio, just like the dresses.

That means:

• We use the exact same fabric, lace, or trims as your daughter’s dress

• The colour match is perfect — no guesswork

• Everything flows beautifully as one coordinated look

We always recommend ordering accessories together with the dress. If you wait and order elsewhere, the shades might be off, the styles may not match, or the quality might not complement the dress we’ve made.

When we create the full look, we ensure it’s flawless, harmonious, and made with love — down to the last detail.

💎 Other Lovely Additions

Here are a few extra accessories that can elevate the entire look:

• Hairpieces & Headbands – flowers, pearls, or delicate sparkle

• Boleros or capes – for warmth and elegance on cooler days

• Gloves (optional) – short white gloves add a charming, vintage feel

• Custom handbags – perfect for tissues, rosary, or little treasures

• Personalised embroidery – like her name or Communion date, stitched inside the dress or veil

Each element should enhance — not overpower — the dress. Subtle is beautiful!

When to Choose Accessories

We suggest finalising accessories shortly after you confirm the dress design. That way:

• Everything can be colour-matched and coordinated

• You avoid the stress of rushing last minute

• We can reserve limited handmade accessories in advance

Often, accessories are chosen during your first visit or confirmed closer to the fitting, depending on what you prefer.
