Bridal jewellery

When choosing bridal jewellery that is perfect for you, there is a lot to think about! Below are a few tips to consider when making a decision.

The Dress

Bridal jewellery will help to accessorise possibly the most important outfit a bride will ever wear. It should enhance and complement but never upstage! The design, colour and the intricacy of your outfit will all have an influence on your choice of jewellery, for example, pearls look stunning when paired with a white or ivory gown. The neckline is an important detail. For a strapless or a sweetheart neckline, a shorter necklace such as a choker will probably work better than a longer necklace. The reverse is true for a deep neckline. For a halter neck, think about statement earrings or hair accessories instead. A plainer neckline will work as a canvas for more detailed or ornate jewellery. And don’t forget any embellishments on the outfit, such as beading on a gown, will help to determine the metal and stones. Think about creating harmony among all the different elements to create one stunning cohesive look.

Work within your comfort zone and be yourself

Think about what you feel most comfortable in. If you’re really comfortable with a pair of statement earrings, go for it! But if you generally prefer studs, find a gorgeous pair to work with your outfit. You’ll want to be able to wear this jewellery long after the big day so think about choosing bridal jewellery that works with other favourite outfits so you can enjoy it time and time again.

Bridal hairstyle

If you plan to wear your hair up or half down, an eye-catching pair of statement earrings could work beautifully. If you plan on wearing it down, you might be better off focusing on a stunning necklace or bracelet.

Wedding theme

Does the wedding have a strong theme? Is it classic, vintage, boho, old-school glamour, summer garden party or a specific era? This may help steer the direction of the jewellery. For example, if the wedding is full of classic and understated elegant touches, pearls and diamonds or cubic zirconias could be perfect as timeless wedding bridal jewellery. If you’re capturing an old-school glamourous vibe, experiment with plenty of sparkle but possibly focus on one piece of jewellery as the leading lady and the rest to complement it.

Time of day

This could help to decide your bridal jewellery from everyday chic to evening glamour. Or, if you’re planning an outfit change for the evening, dress up your jewellery for the night time event.

Budget

This is obviously very important and we make our silver bridal jewellery accessible, allowing budget to be focused elsewhere for the big day.
