How to Choose Which Bridal Jewelry Works Best For Your Wedding

By Melanie Spark

If there’s any day in anyone’s life that calls for the best jewelry, it would be a bride’s wedding day. Many girls dream of having the perfect wedding, with the perfect dress, perfect venue and perfect food. Even the smallest details like flowers, the entourage’s clothing, video and photos are regarded as highly important. One thing that’s also an important part of the wedding preparations is the selection of the bridal jewelry.



The bridal jewelry is as much a part of the bridal’s gown as the hair accessories and shoes. The thing with bridal jewelry, in addition to the hair accessories and shoes, is that they all have to complement each other in such a way that one does not outshine the other and more important, they don’t outshine the bride. You have plenty of bridal jewelry to select from. You can pick from earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets but you definitely can’t use them all at once. You just pick the ones that are the most complementary. Here’s a guide on how to choose which jewelry works best for your wedding.



Simple vs. Formal – Your choice of bridal jewelry may depend on how formal your wedding ceremony is. When it’s a simple wedding, you may opt to choose simple smaller piecesyou’re your bridal jewelry. Larger, ornate pieces may be appropriate if you have a large, formal wedding. However, a burst of color as an accent may be fitting if it’s a simple garden wedding to connect with the theme.



Necklines – One of the factors that can affect your choice in bridal necklaces is the neckline of the bridal gown. Some brides opt to wear strapless gowns which lead them to wear necklaces to accentuate the décolletage and fill the space. For brides that opt to wear a high neckline, those that come heavily beaded with gems and stones, they tend to forego wearing a necklace and instead, just wear a delicate pair of earrings to match the gems and stones.



Color of the Gown – You also have to take into consideration the color of your bridal gown when choosing your bridal jewelry. If you’re wearing a white dress, the shimmery and silvery tones of platinum and sterling silver work well with this color. If your dress is slightly off-white, you may wear gold tones or silver and platinum to bring out the color. If your dress is ivory (or beige), then the yellowish tones of gold bridal jewelry will set off your dress beautifully.

Hairstyles – If you’re pulling your hair up and away from your face, this will leave your ears and neck open which is perfect for wearing either dangling earrings or necklaces. Strike a good balance if you plan on wearing both to avoid the over-accessories trap.



These key factors all work in combination with each other. You need to consider all these factors to strike a good balance on what works best for your wedding day. If you’re not sure, you can always ask the advice of your closest friends and family and if you have a personal stylist then you won’t have a problem to worry about.
