Bridal Jewelry and the Wedding Dress
Once a bride has chosen the perfect wedding gown, the next thing on the list to do it to purchase the right accessories to top off her wedding gown. The right type of bridal jewelry will enhance your wedding dress whereas the wrong type of bridal jewelry,although pretty, will take away from it. Follow these tips on matching your bridal jewelry to your wedding gown to ensure that your finished look is nothing short of spectacular!
Something which many brides overlook is that the tone of their jewelry should complement the color of their wedding gown. For instance, if you have selected a wedding dress in a pure white, it will look fantastic with silver jewelry, white pearls, shimmering crystals, and icy rhinestones. If you are wearing a white wedding dress, try to stay away from warmer toned colors as they are more of a clash to white dresses. Many white bridal gowns are embellished with silver embroidery or beadwork, so silver bridal jewelry which is handcrafted in sterling silver with lots of sparkling crystals will be a fabulous addition to your bridal ensemble.
Silk white and diamond white are the most popular types of wedding gowns. More than likely, a natural silk gown will look like a more softer version of white rather than a more brighter white. Very flattering to any skin tone, diamond white is also very easy to accessorize. Silk white appears to look great with gold jewelry or silver jewelry because it doesn’t have blue-white or yellow-ivory undertones. Bridal jewelry decorated in soft pastel colors makes a beautiful set of Swarovski pearl necklace and earrings. Naturally, if your wedding dress features gold or silver accents, you should match your jewelry color to it, otherwise, simply choose whichever metal color is more flattering to your skin, hair, and eye color.
The romanticism of ivory wedding gowns agrees very well with rich toned bridal jewelry. Gold bridal jewelry looks fantastic with an ivory gown, as they both have a warm glow. Crystals and pearls in a rich tone such as bronze will greatly enhance the look of a warm ivory wedding dress. Simple pendants and drop earrings are always feminine and pretty, or select bridal jewelry which will make a statement, such as a vintage inspired pair of golden chandelier earrings. The icing on the cake would be to add a triple row pearl bracelet in ivory or bronze pearls.
The gown’s neckline also effects which type of bridal jewelry will compliment it the best. Almost anything works with a strapless wedding gown. All the empty space created by a strapless wedding dress can be filled with a strong and bold necklace. (Going without a necklace when wearing strapless looks too naked in photographs.)Shop for bridal jewelry that agrees with your wedding dress and also your personality. Brides who love classic style will adore the simple elegance of a pearl necklace, be it a traditional strand or a more modern tin cup necklace. A necklace, bracelet, and earring set full of sparkling crystals would make any bride look like a princess on her big wedding day. Being able to have their bridal jewelry handcrafted for them will make any bride who likes to pick and choose very happy.
The one shoulder gown remains in style this year, and it can be somewhat daunting to accessorize. Only a limited number of options are available when it comes to complimenting a one shoulder wedding dress with bridal jewelry. Bridal jewelry should be very simple if you are wearing a one shoulder gown with a lot of drama involved with it. A modern pair of stiletto earrings will be dramatic yet clean enough not to compete with such a dramatic neckline. A delicate choker necklace and earrings with a medium length drop would go great with a one shoulder dress that has a simple look to it. With all of the right bridal jewelry in place, you can be sure that you will look picture perfect for your wedding day.
