How to Choose Wedding Jewelry
By Jill Peterson
Your wedding is the most important day of your life and an occasion that will be remembered not just by you but also by your guests. Everything about the wedding has to be perfect, and you would want to look your very best. Wedding jewelry plays an important role in making you the perfect bride.
These days, wedding jewelry is not all about wedding rings. It comes in an assortment of items from bracelets, earrings to necklaces and even tiaras.
Your jewelry needs to enhance your beauty and grace on your special day. It should not become the center of attraction. It should reflect your personality and individual style. So what should you consider when choosing wedding jewelry?
What Makes the Best Wedding Jewelry?
To answer that, your wedding jewelry should complement your wedding dress (classic,
contemporary, elaborate, chic or simple and elegant), your make-
When you pick your wedding jewelry, consider the neckline of your dress. What type of neckline? Strapless, portrait, halter, cap sleeves or beaded straps?
If the neckline of your bridal dress is high, you can choose a sleek chain with a special pendant or charm. If the wedding dress has no neckline and is strapless, your choice of bridal jewelry would then be a choker with matching earrings.
With a low or open neckline, you could wear either a choker or a large necklace with complementary earrings. And with a wedding dress that is very ornate in the front, you could forget about the necklace and choose danglers or chandeliers for earrings.
It is also a good idea to consult your gown designer for his opinion regarding wearing a necklace or additional pieces of jewelry to your ensemble.
Pearls have been the timeless choice for bridal jewelry. Pearls are elegant, classy, and romantic. No matter what metal it is in – gold, silver or platinum – pearls can flatter your features and add a charm to your wedding dress. Pearls are available in different shapes, sizes, and colors.
You could also choose to add color to your wedding dress with colored gemstone jewelry. Gemstones, on a backdrop of white brilliant diamonds look stunning.
Gemstones are available in a spectrum of colors. For instance, if blue is your wedding color theme, consider using sapphire, aquamarine, apatite, iotite or blue topaz in your wedding jewelry pieces.
You could choose your gemstone jewelry either based on your color preference or according to your birthstone. In fact, you could also have your gemstone jewelry customized as per your wedding dress.
Another important thing to keep in mind when you pick wedding jewelry is to select pieces that not only make your wedding memorable but also something you would be able to wear again for days to come.
