Selecting Bridal Jewelry To Suit Your Gown and Veil
By: Amy K. 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.
