Bridal Jewellery has always been one of the most important factors in a bride’s outfit. It adds a beautiful finishing touch to your wedding look, and while your dress and veil will be boxed up after your big day, your Bridal Jewellery will become a keepsake for years to come and should be something you can wear time and time again. But where do you start when trying to find the right Bridal Jewellery to suit the style of your dress, as well as your personality? Here are our top tips when it comes to choosing your Bridal Jewellery
Strapless Dress
The neckline on a strapless dress really is a blank canvas when it comes to choosing your Bridal Jewellery, as any style of jewellery will complement it. However, it is important to consider any detailing and embellishment on your gown and select jewellery that won’t distract from it. Our suggestion for a heavily detailed dress would be not to wear a necklace but to go for a pair of statement earrings with a matching bracelet instead.
Spaghetti Strap Dress
With spaghetti strap dresses, the straps and the shape they make across your shoulders are a key feature of the design so it’s important to choose a necklace, which compliments them rather than distracts from them. A delicate pendant necklace teamed with a beautifully elegant bracelet would be our top recommendation on Bridal Jewellery for this dress style.
Halter-neck Dress
We think halter-neck dresses work best without a necklace so as not to distract from the plunging neckline. Go for a pair of sparkly statement earrings and a chunky bracelet instead. However, there is also a huge trend in Bridal Jewellery at the moment for back jewellery and what better way to show off your back than with a crystal encrusted lariat. It will give your guests something sparkly to look at during the ceremony!
Bolero/Shrug over Dress
If you are going to wear a bolero or shrug with your dress, we would recommend choosing a pair of beautiful statement earrings and a gorgeous multi-strand bracelet for the perfect Bridal Jewellery for this style of dress. However, if you are intending to remove your bolero or shrug at some point during the day, why not swap your earrings for a dramatic necklace to transform your look from day to evening.
Off-the-shoulder Dress
There is a lot of décolletage on show with this style of dress so you don’t really have much for your Bridal Jewellery to compete with. You could therefore go for any style you wish. However, always bear in mind the level of detail on the dress. For a very simple dress with little or no embroidery, we would recommend a delicate necklace teamed with matching earrings to compliment the simplicity of the top of this dress.
Scoop neck Dress
A scoop-neck on a dress is another versatile choice when it comes to choosing your Bridal Jewellery, as all necklace shapes will compliment the neckline. Our favourites for a scoop-neck dress would be a dramatic pendant drop necklace teamed with a single-strand pearl bracelet, which will complete your wedding look perfectly and very elegantly.
Sweetheart Dress
With a sweetheart neckline, the neckline is almost an accessory in itself and flatters the bride’s neck and shoulders beautifully on its own. You therefore need to be careful not to over-accessorise it with elaborate Bridal Jewellery, and instead complement the shape. A sweetheart bodice looks stunning with a pendant necklace and matching earrings, which mirror the shape of the neckline.
