Choosing Jewelry That Complements Your Dress

Your wedding day is a celebration of love, and every detail counts – especially when it comes to your bridal ensemble. Among the essential elements that contribute to your radiant look, wedding day jewelry plays a pivotal role.  Wedding day jewelry can also be the perfect way to incorporate your ‘something blue!’  In this guide, we’ll explore how carefully chosen earrings, necklaces, and bracelets can not only complement your wedding dress but also add a touch of meaningful elegance to your special day.

Bridal Earrings

When it comes to earrings, the first key is to harmonize them with your hairstyle. If you’re opting for an updo, consider studs for a classic and understated look that may otherwise get lost if you wear your hair down. Flowing locks, on the other hand, provide the perfect canvas for dazzling chandelier earrings or modern hoop styles. You should also consider diving into the symbolism of the gemstones you will wear on your wedding day – perhaps diamonds for eternal love or pearls representing purity or rose quartz for a touch of calm romance – to add an extra layer of significance to your wedding day ensemble.

Additionally, when selecting your bridal earrings, you should ensure they complement the style and stone of any particular necklace of special importance that you need to wear on your wedding day-- such as a strand of pearls passed down by your grandmother or a locket previously gifted to you by your fiancé.  In the first instance, you will want to select pearl earrings and in the second instance you should carefully select earrings that complement the metal of the locket.  

You should also take care to select earrings that are comfortable to you and which have backs that make you feel secure in dancing the night away.  Of course, if you choose to go necklace-free on your wedding day, you will want to ensure even greater attention to your bridal-earrings selection! Finally, if you choose to incorporate your ‘something blue’ into your wedding day jewelry, earrings in a subtle blue shade make the perfect choice!

Bridal Necklaces

The necklace you choose to wear on your wedding day is a very important decision that will affect the overall look of your bridal gown. Choosing the right necklace involves a thoughtful consideration of your dress neckline. For high-necked gowns, a delicate collar necklace can be the perfect accent. If your dress features a V-neck, a subtle pendant can enhance the elegance of the neckline without overshadowing it. Strapless gowns open the door to statement necklaces, adding a touch of glamour to your bridal look.

And remember, you can never go wrong with a classic strand of pearls! You may also want to explore the symbolic meanings of gemstones like sapphires for loyalty or rubies for passion to infuse your choice with personal significance. Finally, if you choose to incorporate your ‘something blue’ into your wedding day jewelry, consider a necklace that incorporates a sparkle of blue into your look!

Bridal Bracelets

Bracelets provide an opportunity to coordinate with your sleeves – whether they’re long, short or non-existent. Bold cuffs can make a statement with long sleeves, while delicate chains can add a touch of subtlety to short-sleeved or sleeveless dresses. Consider a charm bracelet for a personalized touch that tells your unique love story. Gold bracelets add extravagance and warmth to your style while silver can add a classy touch.

If you choose a bracelet with gemstones, consider those that resonate with you – perhaps emeralds for rebirth or amethysts for calmness. Also remember to select a bracelet that can be secured at a length on your wrist that will leave  you comfortable and confident, and that will add the perfect touch of sparkle when you hold your bouquet, dance, or make a toast.  Finally, if you choose to incorporate your ‘something blue’ into your wedding day jewelry, consider a bracelet with blue and white glamour sure to complement most any wedding ring.

As you prepare for your walk down the aisle, remember that every detail of your wedding ensemble reflects your personal style and the unique love you share. The careful selection of earrings, necklaces, and bracelets can elevate your elegance and make your wedding day truly unforgettable.

Your wedding day jewelry could even become the heirlooms that will get passed down to the women in your family through the generations! Consider not only the aesthetic appeal but also the symbolic meanings of gemstones to add depth and sentiment to your bridal look. Ultimately, your wedding day jewelry is more than adornment; it’s a reflection of your love story and a timeless keepsake of the beautiful day you’ll cherish forever.
