Along with your gorgeous dress, stunning hair and makeup, and that excited glow, the perfect bridal jewelry will help you look and feel your absolute best! Accessorizing your bridal look with the right jewelry is important. Knowing whether to pick that vintage heirloom piece, simple pearl earrings, or a sparkly necklace to go with your dress is key to creating your perfect bridal style. Keep in mind that you don’t need every accessory in the store. Pick and choose which works best with your wedding style. Now, let’s get started! What Bridal Jewelry Do You Need for Your Wedding Day? Here Are Some Basic Rules to Remember When Choosing Your Bridal Jewelry Don’t Overdo It When shopping for bridal jewelry, first consider the details of your wedding dress, and then work to complement them. You don’t want to go overboard. And you definitely don’t need all of the accessories in the store. It’s going to look busy if you have a tiara, and a veil, and long dangle earrings, and a necklace, and a sash, and… Well, you get the point. Just don’t overdo it. TIP: Balance jewelry with the dress. When choosing bridal jewelry, let your dress be your guide. A heavily decorated gown looks best with simple jewelry. An understated dress allows for more elaborate pieces. If you have an extravagant dress with sparkles and beading, you want to highlight that, not overpower it with a ton of flashy accessories. If you have a simpler gown, then you can dress it up with more ornate jewelry. The key is to make sure it all flows together. Match the Neckline It's important to consider the neckline of the dress you'll be wearing on your wedding day when deciding on the jewelry you'll be wearing. It’s important to consider the neck of the dress while selecting all of your jewelry, not just the necklace. Jewelry should rarely touch or overlap your dress, so consider the neckline you'll be wearing a necklace with. In addition, your jewelry should complement, rather than compete with the dress's embellishments, especially in the bust and collar areas. As a general rule these gown neckline-jewelry combinations work best:
Choose Your Metals Carefully The metal colors of your jewelry should complement the color of your wedding dress. Some metals compliment certain gown colors more than others. For example:
Stick to Your Authentic Style While you will have your own unique bridal look (and you should!) many wedding styles today fall into one of five broad categories: classic, vintage, luxury, boho or country. Your jewelry should match your wedding theme as carefully as your dress, flowers, shoes and venue do.
Try a Combination of Old and New Jewelry doesn’t need to match anymore. Mixing metals and styles helps to exude a sense of class. There should be no inconsistency in the shine of your jewelry, but you may wear items from a wide variety of time periods and design eras, so long as they complement one another aesthetically. Your "something old" (an heirloom) and "something new" (a chic modern accessory) might complement one another. Personal style may be combined with treasured family relics. When in Doubt, Stick to the “Jewelry Essentials” You cannot go wrong with timeless jewelry. Traditionally these are diamond stud earrings, pearl stud earrings, pearl necklaces, tennis bracelets and diamond solitaire pendants. They match any dress, never go out of style, and you can wear them again and again after the wedding. There you have it! A few basic rules to help you out when you’re shopping for your wedding jewelry. Now, let’s go through each of the accessories one by one, starting from the top. Earrings When it comes to choosing the perfect earrings for your wedding day, take a tip from your hairstyle and from your other accessories. If you’ll be wearing your hair down, small drop earrings or studs will look great. For an updo, you can wear something more dramatic to really make your face shine. Long, dangling earrings look stunning with an updo. TIP: All of your bridal accessories should tie well together, and should not overpower one another. Don’t forget about your wedding dress. (Is that even possible?) If your dress has a high neckline or a ton of intricate beading and styling, consider a simpler style of earrings. If your dress is simple, spice it up with some fancier, flashy earrings. Necklace When it comes to choosing a necklace for your big day, it’s all about the neckline on your dress. This could easily be one of the bridal accessories that you skip. Here are a few tips:
Bracelets When choosing a bracelet for your wedding day, you’ll want to keep it simple and delicate. You don’t want to steal any focus from your dress, or your gorgeous wedding ring! If you decide to rock a long sleeve dress, you can skip wearing a bracelet. For any other style of dress, a simple tennis bracelet will look spectacular. If you want to go for a bolder look, opt for a glittering diamond or sparkling gold cuff bracelet. There you have it! You’re now decked out in bridal jewelry from head to toe. I’ll leave you with a few reminders to help you prepare for the big day:
