If you have never been married or been part of a wedding, you may not realize that the wedding dress and accessories are one of the most important parts of the bride’s big day. If you think your prom dress was a big deal, wait until you start looking for your wedding dress! Only then will you fully understand its importance.
Once you do have a wedding dress, you then need wedding jewellery which can include a necklace, earrings, bracelet and even hair jewellery. The jewellery you pick for your big day is mostly determined by your personal preferences.
If your tastes are more traditional, you will be looking more at pearls or precious gemstones. Some women like to go with simple gold or silver chains, but there are so many options to consider if you want to look you very best on your big day.
Your choice of jewellery should not detract from your wedding dress. If your wedding dress is ornate with rhinestones or pearls either mixed through all over or around the neckline, it is recommended that you do not wear a necklace at all since it can appear overdone and take away from your dress. Some families have traditions where the jewellery pieces that the bride wears are heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation. This may mean that you match your wedding dress to your jewellery. Experts recommend that you do not choose dark gemstones or pearls as they are overpowering. Going with blue topaz, diamonds and lighter colored gems are usually the better choice
There are also ways to make sure the neck piece you wear complements the neckline of your wedding dress. For instance, a choker or a nice drop pendant necklace would complement a sweetheart neckline whereas a square neckline can be complemented by a single or double strand necklace. Naturally, the remainder of your wedding jewellery and bridal accessories should match your necklace.
Keep in mind the hardest part is to find jewellery that becomes the focal point of your whole look, whilst at the same time does not overpower or distract from your wedding dress.
Finally, if you are not sure, It may help if you do some research and consult with wedding attire and accessories experts.
