Your wedding is one of the biggest days of your life. Every element should carefully be curated, from your dress to your decor, but nothing completes your bridal ensemble quite like wedding jewelry. Not only does it complete your look, but it also acts as a keepsake of your wedding day. With so many different options, how do you pick out the perfect pieces for the ultimate bridal style?
Personalize Your Wedding Jewelry
Jewelry isn’t just an accessory. It’s something personal. Whether it’s a necklace, some earrings, a headpiece, or a bracelet, the jewelry you wear will be a testament to your style and the style of your wedding.
Match Your Metals to Your Dress
The metal of your jewelry should complement your dress, ideally. It can make or break the look, to be honest. The color and fabric of your gown can pop more with the right amount of shine from your jewelry. A bright white dress typically pairs best with platinum and white gold. On the other hand, ivory and off-white dresses tend to go best with yellow gold, while dresses with champagne or blush undertones work with rose gold. Metal isn’t something you want to overlook. Choosing the correct metal is what will tie everything together.
Less Is More: Avoid Overdoing It
So you just landed the most gorgeous dress but the question of accessories remains. You’re bound to have a lot of jewelry to select from but keep in mind that sometimes less really is more. Pick out one or two statement pieces, and leave it at that. If you have a larger necklace, keep your bridal earrings minimal like studs. And if you already have a dress with embellishments, reserve the details for your earlobes or updo.
You don’t want to detract from your beautiful dress, you want to complement it—don’t forget that.
Comfort Is Essential
As stunning as your wedding jewelry is, don’t forget the feel —you’ll be wearing it throughout the entire night. Be sure to look for vital comfort insights beforehand rather than later. If a necklace is too tight or the earrings are too heavy, you’ll want to know early in the festivities. Some brides change into lighter jewelry pieces later in the wedding day after the photographs are done. Comfortable jewelry will let you focus on enjoying your day without distractions.
Choose Timeless, Versatile Pieces
Your wedding-day finery can be more than one-day style. Buy pieces you’ll wear to future special occasions and incorporate them into your casual style. A pair of classic diamond studs or a gold bangle is a beautiful reminder of your special day.
Select pieces that reflect your taste, accessorize your gown, and are comfortable to wear—all so you have the most special and beautiful day!
