Selecting Bridal Jewelry To
Suit Your Gown And Veil
by: Amy Spade
In addition to choosing a stunning dress, you will also want to find some
nice accents to go along with it. In many cases, this would be jewelry and a
veil, but can include many other accoutrements.
The jewels
For each particular style of wedding gown, you need to choose particular styles
of jewelry. And since you can’t wear your gown into jewelry stores, you will
want to wear a shirt with the same color as your dress as well as the same
neckline. This is the best way to capture the right look.
Starting with the earrings, you can look to your hair style to determine how to
dress them up. If you have a shorter style or you’re looking to pull your hair
up for the wedding day, you will want to pick longer earrings that extend
towards your neck. If you want something simpler, then diamond or rhinestone
studs can be equally beautiful.
The neck is the focal point for most brides, so you can really dazzle them here.
Look at your dress to see if you have a lot of detail or not. If you do, you
will want to choose a necklace that’s a little less extravagant. If you don’t
follow this advice, you will have multiple looks competing with one another and
it can create a very confused and scattered look.
For a simple dress with a deep neckline, you should be looking at larger
pendants or a more complicated style. Pearls always seem to work, but try on
different lengths to make sure that they complement the entire look.
Here comes the veil
While many modern brides are opting to not have a veil, they still remain a
mainstay for wedding attire. Veils today can come with rhinestones and tiaras
built in and can make a dramatic statement as the bride enters the church.
What you want to keep in mind though is that the more complicated the veil, the
less you want to do for your jewelry. It’s another case of the competing looks
and balancing the overall effect of the details. You don’t want to have so many
things going on that people forget to look at your face.
The best advice is to find one feature or one accessory that you love and make
that the most complicated thing that you wear. Whether it’s a tiara or lovely
diamond earrings, choose only one. Your pictures will thank you.
