Matching Wedding Jewelry to Your Wedding Dress

After finally finding that dream wedding dress, now it’s time to choose the right accessories to complete your look. The right wedding jewelry will bring out all of the best features in both your gown and yourself, so it is a really important part of your complete wedding day look. Read below to learn how to match your wedding jewelry with your bridal gown.

Many times brides will want a complete set of wedding jewelry including a necklace, bracelet, and a pair of earrings. There is also the headpiece to be considered; it does not need to be an exact match to the rest of the bridal jewelry, but it should definitely have a common style and be made from some of the same elements to ensure a cohesive look. It is usually easiest to begin your search for the perfect accessories with either the earrings or the necklaces. Once you have chosen one of those, completing the rest of the set will be a piece of cake.

Your wedding jewelry should tie in with the general style of your bridal gown. It also needs to work well with the neckline of your gown. Keep in mind any embellishments on your wedding dress, as they will help to influence which styles of jewelry work the best. For instance, if you have chosen a lace gown, then romantic pearl and crystal wedding jewelry will be a wonderful coordinate. A bridal gown which has elaborate silver embroidery would look gorgeous with rhineston or crystal wedding jewelry which will pull out the color of the embellishment.

Another thing to keep in mind is the kind of effect that you want to create with the type of wedding dress and jewelry you have. Will you be wearing a very light chiffon dress for your destination wedding? Then select wedding jewelry with beach theme, such as a monogrammed shell pendant, a coin pearl necklace, or a crystal starfish pendant. Brides who are to be wed in grand cathedrals will need jewelry which is dramatic enough for the setting. Think grand and opulent. This is also your chance to wear a fabulous tiara, so live it up!

Necklines are a good thing to think about when choosing wedding jewelry. A strapless bridal gown can handle a bold design such as a choker or multi-strand necklace with a drop. Because pendants echo the shape of the silhouette, they compliment very well V-neck and sweetheart neckline dresses. Brides who have chosen one of this season’s trendy one shoulder gowns will want to skip the necklace and focus on a dramatic pair of bridal earrings, such as chandeliers or long stiletto drops. Layer a couple of fun Swarovski crystal bracelets for the perfect finishing touch to your chic and modern look.

Another important thing to think about is how light or heavy your want your wedding jewelry to be. It’s all about balancing it with your dress. If your dress is very plain, more ornate bridal jewelry will be just what it needs to express your personality and make it ready for your big day. Ethereal gowns created from chiffon or tulle look lovely with delicate jewelry, such as dainty clear crystals or petite pearls. A princess looking wedding dress should always be complimented by a beautiful set bridal jewelry fit for royalty!
