Bridal jewelry should be fun and express your personal style. Below are a few tips and tricks to help pick the perfect accessories for your special day!
Keep Your Dress in Mind
You have no doubt spent weeks or even months shopping for your dress, it is important to pair it with jewelry that complements or adds to the dress. It is important to keep the style and silhouette of your dress in mind when shopping for jewelry. What is the neckline of your dress? Does your dress have long sleeves? Does your dress have beading or applique? All these things will factor into what jewelry and accessories are appropriate or complementary. The length of the necklace and the neckline of your dress must go hand in hand. Long sleeves can affect the way a bracelet looks or lays against the wrist so your dress will dictate your bracelet wearability.
If your dress features beading, pearls or crystals, keep the shape, color, and design in mind. Many brides find it helpful to shop with a photo of their dress or its details so that there’s a visual assist in finding complementary designs. You don’t necessarily want the jewelry to be an exact match with the dress’s details. You don’t want them to clash either. Unless the dress is very, very plan with little to no detail, the jewelry should probably be much quieter than the dress. They should not both be shouting for attention .
Keeping it Classic
Many brides keep their bridal jewelry classic and simple. From a strand of pearls to simple diamond studs not only do these items look beautiful they also make for sentimental heirlooms to be passed down for generations to come.
Noting this, you may want to shop in your mom’s or grandma’s jewelry boxes! They may have some gorgeous, timeless pieces that will go great with your dress and the special meaning of them belonging to women in your family makes them that much more beautiful. Don’t be afraid to start the tradition yourself, though. Feel free to purchase pieces that you think you’d like to pass on to future daughters or nieces one day.
Adding a Splash of Color
Today many brides choose to add a splash of color to their bridal jewelry. Of course there is the tradition of wearing something blue on your wedding day, so blue options would fit nicely. However, more and more brides are also choosing to incorporate their color themes into their jewelry ensemble. Beautiful gemstone jewelry is a great way to express your originality and tie your wedding colors into your total look.
A really beautiful and bold pair of earrings will add dynamite style to your bridal look and they’ll show up in all the pictures since they’re so close to your face! It the color can match the hues from your bouquet, that would really help to thread the color scheme together.
Most Importantly Have FUN!
Remember it is YOUR special day! Choose the items that make you happy. While planning your wedding, everyone is going to want to give you their two cents (whether you ask for it or not). Be sure the items you pick are not only comfortable to wear, but reflect your personal style. Every time you wear your jewelry you will be reminded of your special day.
