Accessorize the Dress: The Best Bridal Jewelry for 12 Wedding Dress NecklinesFrom a gorgeous dress, to a stunning hairstyle and headpiece, every detail matters when getting ready for your Big Day, and that includes beautiful bridal jewelry, perfectly paired with your dresses neckline. As the bride, you’re a major focal point for all of the guests at your wedding, throughout the ceremony and even during the reception, which is why you probably know how important it is to find that perfect dress. Searching boutique after boutique, you’ve finally found the one! But now it begs the question… “How do I style my dress with bridal jewelry?” Jewelry, while relatively small, can make a world of difference to your complete bridal look. A well-chosen necklace or earrings can frame the face, enhance a neckline, and sharpen the overall impact of your bridal ensemble. When it comes to wedding day jewelry, the first thing to consider is your dress. The style, fabric, and details of your dress should all be taken into account when selecting your jewelry. So, let's take a look at a few options to add that extra touch to your wedding day ensemble: Wedding Dress Styles Off Shoulder/Bardot Neckline The Off the Shoulder also known as the "Bardot Neckline", with more bare shoulder space to work with, you’ll have plenty of room for a sumptuous choker. Dazzle with rhinestones or rows of pearls, or both. In the same way off-shoulder straps circle horizontally around the bust and biceps, a round necklace hangs snugly around the neck, creating continuity in the curved shapes. The Off Shoulder wedding dress neckline is one of the most romantic styles. By drawing attention to your shoulders, you are showcasing your décolletage, which is a flirtier and French way of saying the collar bones. This is a very attractive area of the body, which is why this neckline style is so popular. To style this neckline style, you want to keep the focus on this area off the chest. That’s why choker-style or shorter chains work best when it comes to neck wear. For this look, we have chosen the Silver Diamond White Bridal Wedding Jewelry Set & Antique Rhodium Silver Cubic Zirconia Bridal Necklace & Earring Set as the statement neck pieces. One Shoulder/Asymmetrical Neckline The One Shoulder neckline, also known as the “Asymmetrical Neckline” is a firm favorite of ours. The asymmetrical neckline flatters most busts, and the high back allows for a bra to be worn with the gown for added support. Even though this style of neckline peaked in the 90's, it’s stuck around in the wedding industry. However, this is always a tricky one to style, especially as only half of the chest is on view. That’s why, like with the V-neck, it’s best to pay more attention to your ear wear as opposed to any necklaces or pendants. As not to re-balance the stylish asymmetry with loud earrings on either side, quietly accessorize with pretty drop earrings and let the dress do the talking. This is especially true if your gown features a large ribbon or appliqué on its lone shoulder, because large earrings or a bulky necklace would be awkward, brushing against the ornament and throwing the look off balance. You don’t want to go wild with jewelry as this neckline is already an accessory of its own. Instead of adding statement earrings or a necklace that could take away from the dress, a glam Headpiece is all you need to finish your bridal look. Again, to add a little spice to your appearance, we have chosen the Glamorous Silver Clear CZ Dangle Bridal Earrings to make a beautiful statement, while still using Cubic Zirconia to soften the look with elegance. A pair of gorgeous dangle earrings, like the Silver Princess Kate Middleton Inspired CZ Acorn Bridal Earrings, also add a touch of elegance without overpowering the neckline. Strapless/Straight Neckline Now we have one of the classics. A Sweetheart Neckline, also known as the "Straight Neckline", is a classier version of the boob tube that we know and loved once upon a time. Its curved edging is what contours the chest so beautifully. For sweetheart gowns that sit lower along the chest, redistribute some weight to your top half with a wide, ornate choker that echoes the design characteristics of your dress. For example, choose a choker to complement floral embroidery, or a crystal collar to match rhinestones. Similar to the off-the-shoulder wedding dress neckline, short necklaces are your best bet at ensuring that attention aren’t drawn away from your gown. When it comes to picking jewelry for a strapless dress, they should never compete with the overall vibe of your gown. Go for a simple and stunning choker or collar-length necklace that doesn’t distract from the dress’ overall detailing but adds a subtle sparkle to finish it off perfectly. We have chosen a simple short necklace the Silver Ivory Drop Pearl and Clear CZ Stone Bridal Jewelry Set. This necklace sits high on the neck, allowing for a wonderful composition. We’ve also chosen the Antique Silver Pearl and Rhinestone Choker Bridal Jewelry Set for a complete and luxurious pearl and rhinestone look. Queen Anne Neckline Next, it’s the Queen Anne. The curved arches of a Queen Anne Neckline favor jewelry with a similarly rounded shape. Rectangular or triangular earrings, while still chic, interrupt the graceful flow of the curved lines, and give off a pageant aesthetic as opposed to a bridal aura. Sparkling dangle earrings that graze the jawline work beautifully with this style. Traditionally, a Queen Anne neckline features a high collar in the back and a Scoop, V-Neck, or Sweetheart neckline in the front, but the look has been modernized to keep up with today’s tastes. Some of the current trends incorporate eye-catching features, like 3D appliques, side panel cuts, or drop waistlines. Figure hugging silhouettes tend to look best with a Queen Anne because they balance the openness of the neckline with the bride’s curves. The Queen Anne neckline is traditionally one of the most modest and conservative necklines for wedding dresses. Depending on the body shape, these necklines can be extra flattering for someone with narrow shoulders and a small chest. As there is a lot going on with this style of wedding dress, we recommend showcasing most of your jewels on the ears. We have chosen Antique Silver Clear CZ Vintage Bridal Earrings & Rhodium Clear Cubic Zirconia Dangle Bridal Earrings. Both are very feminine and instantly eye-catching. Sweetheart Neckline A Sweetheart Neckline is a timeless romantic neckline that emphasizes your bust. The material of the dress influences the perfect combination with jewelry. If the dress is made of lace, or decorated with pearls or rhinestones, refined jewelry will go better with the dress. If it is a smooth fabric, you should opt for jewelry with pearls and/or crystals. To accentuate the sweetheart even more, follow the m-shape of the sweetheart neckline with a similarly pointed necklace that sits at the base of the neck, right on the clavicle. The effect is regal and timeless The curved arches of a sweetheart neckline favor jewelry with a similar shape. Rectangular or triangular earrings, while still chic, interrupt the graceful flow of the curved lines, and give off a pageant aesthetic as opposed to an undeniably bridal aura. We have chosen the Antique Silver Clear CZ Tear Drop Stone Bridal Jewelry Set & Oval, Teardrop & Egg Cluster Cubic Zirconia Bridal Jewelry Set. Both sets add a touch of elegance without overpowering the neckline. High Neck/Turtleneck Neckline Channel Grace Kelly and allow your magnificent gown to take the spotlight. Enhance the already-gorgeous look with timeless stud earrings as not to overcrowd around your neck. The High Neck, also known as the "Turtleneck Neckline" is always a winner for those with a short neck or chin. You can elongate your torso beautifully while wearing a high neck. Because of this, it’s important to not overdo your neck and high chest area as this can become a little too busy. Brides with a high or halter-neck gown, drop earrings are your go-to. These type of dresses already cover most of your neck area, so adding a necklace on top of this may overpower your look and take away from the overall aesthetic. Opt for some sparkling drop earrings to take your look to the next level. So, that’s where gorgeous earrings come into play yet again. The Antique Silver Clear CZ Tear Drop Crystal Dangle Bridal Earrings & Fabulous Antique Silver Clear CZ Drop Earrings would both work stunningly for such a bold and detailed dress. V-Neck Neckline The V-neck is one of the most traditional necklines found on a wedding dress. It offers a small amount of skin exposure, while still being flirty and sexy. One of the most flattering necklines of all time, the v-shaped neckline spotlights the bride’s collarbones, which provide graceful visual impact in and of themselves. While lavish princess necklaces may work with this style, the rounded necklace shape competes with the sharp angles of the v-neckline, offering two differing focal points within such close proximity. When styling a V-neck, there are two options that will work well. Firstly, you could wear a simple pendant that’ll fit lovingly between the materials. Match this with dangle earrings and it becomes a show stopping look. For this style, we have chosen the Antique Silver Cascading Cubic Zirconia Bridal Jewelry Set and Antique Silver Art-Deco Cubic Zirconia Crystal Bridal Jewelry Set. Halter Neckline Next for wedding dress necklines, we have the Halter Neckline. This has been a firm favorite for many years, which is why we had to include it in the different wedding dress necklines. A halter neckline is best worn when you want to draw attention to the top of your dress. The halter neckline takes away the need for a necklace, as this style sees a triangular panel of fabric that covers the upper chest. The shoulders are accentuated, giving a bride a sculpted, elegant appearance. Drop or dangling earrings are a suitable jewelry type in this instance, because they balance out the fabric that runs down the center of the body, distributing ornamentation to either side, right above the shoulders. For embellished gowns, a simple pearl drop earring would do, while simpler dresses team well with elaborate dangling pairs. Being a classic style of wedding dress, it’s important that you again keep the focus on the dress as opposed to the accessories. For this neckline, we are keeping it simple as this is such a busy style of dress. Using the Gorgeous Antique Silver Clear CZ Dangle Bridal Earrings & Rhodium Clear Round & Teardrop CZ Crystal Dangle Earrings makes for a timeless, elegant look; very fitting for this dress type. Jewel Neckline The Jewel Neckline, very similar to a traditional crew neck, is very flattering for someone who wants to minimize the length of their neck or accentuate their chest area. It has a rounded style that circles around the base of the neck and falls above the collarbone. The term was originally coined because of the way how it was designed to showcase necklaces against the fabric of the dress, drawing the eye up to the jewelry and face of the woman. With a style whose origins comes from being paired with jewelry, the jewel neckline is easy to accessorize. Necklaces that work best with this neckline are those that also sit at the collarbone, and not long ones that drape too far down. Necklaces that are too big or too long will conflict with the neckline, creating too much clutter in your look. With this type of neckline, it is very much dependent on the detailing found on your dress. If your gown has sequins or lace but only at the bottom, accessorizing with neck pieces works well. However, if your dress is very detailed all over, this should always stay the main statement. For this neckline, we’ve selected the Vine of Pearls & Rhinestones Bridal Jewelry Set & Rhodium Clear Cut Flower CZ Crystal Bridal Jewelry Set. Illusion Neckline The Illusion Neckline is one of the more contemporary styles of wedding dresses. As the name suggests, they give an illusion of having a higher neck using mesh-like or lace material, while the real neckline sits below. This is perfect for brides who love the look of sweetheart necklines or straight across necklines but don’t feel necessarily comfortable wearing them. Since a necklace isn't usually worn, a beautiful statement headpiece like a Tiara or sparkling Headband is the perfect choice to coordinate with a pair of gorgeous earrings. You’re given the best of both worlds with a stunning modern twist. For the illusion neckline, we believe that a pair of statement chandelier earrings such as the Radiant Silver Clear CZ Chandelier Earrings and Gorgeous Antique Silver Clear Chandelier Earrings are both beautiful choices. Scoop Neckline The Scoop Neckline is another classic for weddings. They’re most flattering on pear & hourglass body shapes, and those who have shorter necks as they give the illusion of extending the chest area. Of course, with a scoop neckline, you’re showing off more of your upper body which means you can be as adventurous with your jewels as you desire. A scoop neckline emphasizes the collarbone, so ideally, choose a short, round necklace to further enhance it. A scoop neckline is the ideal setting for a statement piece, such as a bib necklace. We’ve chosen the Antique Silver Floral Clear CZ Stone Bridal Jewelry Set and Pearls, Swarovski Crystals and Beads Bridal Illusion Necklace and Earring Set for a stunning combination. Square Neckline Last but not least, we have a feminine and beautiful wedding dress Square Neckline. A square neckline offers a structured and chic look. It helps elongate a short neck and narrow shoulders, leaving you looking poised and confident. Those with a square neckline dress can add beautiful jewelry, like one of the sets shown, for a touch of sparkle. This will complement the unique neckline and can make it stand out even more. We have paired this beautiful style gown with the Antique Silver Clear CZ Crystal Bridal Necklace & Earrings Set and Rhodium Clear Multi Cut CZ Crystal Bridal Jewelry Set. The square neckline emphasizes your collarbones and decollete. Many jewelry combinations are possible with this neckline, it is important that the necklace does not come too close to the dress. By choosing a choker or short necklace, you create space and put a little more emphasis on your collarbones. Since a square neckline is straightforward and flat, you’ll have space to experiment with contemporary jewelry that have an innate sense of movement.
