Bridal jewellery to compliment your wedding Dress
You have decided on your wedding theme. You’ve found your dream dress and you know your wedding style, and now you are at the point where you need to decide on what bridal jewellery you can choose to compliment your wedding dress.
It can feel like a minefield, with so many options online. And the problem is, even though there are some basic rules to follow, it really is entirely your choice what you would like to wear.
So, I am hoping that this article might help you to find the perfect wedding jewellery for your big day.
Choosing the right jewellery to compliment your wedding gown
Whatever you choose, there are a few things to consider:
- The cut of your wedding dress is important.
- The options of long versus short earrings.
- Should you wear a bridal bracelet?
- Considering and staying true to your wedding day style.
1. The cut of your Wedding Dress is important.
You need to think about the neckline of your wedding gown. If you are wearing a high cut dress, ideally, it’s best not to wear a pendant. You won’t need one. It will be hard to see easily, and you will spend the whole day adjusting it.
However, a pendant will nicely frame a dress with either a sweetheart, portrait, or off the shoulder neckline. Where as, a traditional style necklace lends itself very well to a queen Anne, square, or scoop neckline.
2. Should I wear Long or short Earrings
Earrings will be a personal choice. You may want to consider larger or longer earrings if you are wearing your hair down. Your earrings will be more easily seen, or perhaps just glimpsed.
You can, of course, wear larger earrings with your hair up. It is a great way to make a statement, especially if you aren’t wearing any other jewellery, and bold earrings are great for those high neckline gowns I mentioned earlier.
Studs are a great choice if you don’t normally wear earrings. You want to feel comfortable all day.
3. Should I wear a bracelet for my wedding day or not?
This is a question I often get asked. It is the one piece of jewellery that is often overlooked. I do love a bracelet, and they can be quite captivating while drawing the eye down to the arm.
A bracelet can also be a lovely replacement if you do not want to wear a necklace. It is an easier decision to have a bracelet if you have a sleeveless, or high sleeved gown. If you are wearing longer sleeves or very delicate lace, then maybe skip the bracelet.
4. Stay true to your style for your wedding day.
It is important that you are as comfortable as you can be on your wedding day. You will be doing a lot of walking, smiling, and socialising, so you need to be able to forget about your jewellery.
So, if you aren’t used to wearing a lot of jewellery, then do not go all out on your wedding day. Keep it simple and elegant and you won’t go far wrong.
