Choosing the right bridal jewelry for your wedding day can seem like a daunting task. There are so many choices that it's hard to know where to start. But a few simple tips can keep you on track.
1. Remember, it begins with your engagement and wedding ring . This is probably the only jewelry that you'll wear every day for the rest of your life. It sets the tone by showing your taste in jewelry and your personal style.
2. Decide what kind of ceremony you want . Formal, semi-formal? Afternoon or evening? Casual? A non-traditional medieval or Celtic wedding?
Do not feel pressured into having a service that other people feel is appropriate. This is for you and your fiance to decide. The type of service you choose will effect all your other decisions regarding wedding attire and jewelry.
3. Buy your gown before you choose your bridal jewelry . Every piece of jewelry, other than your wedding set, revolves around the gown. It will set the tone for everything else.
4. Consider the color of your gown . Jewelry that looks gorgeous on a white gown may not look good on an ivory dress. Gold may add a perfect touch to an ivory dress but not on classic white. Try to coordinate the metal colors in your jewelry. Using both gold and silver does not usually work.
5. Are you using any family heirloom jewelry? If so, you'll need the new items you purchase to compliment, or at least not clash with the things you've already decided to wear. Brides often use this as their chance for "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue".
6. It's all about the neckline . A strapless gown can be enhanced with a larger necklace and earrings. Shorter, choker type necklaces work well with strapless gowns also.
Beaded straps might need a small necklace. This is also true if your neckline is heavily trimmed with sequins or crystals. You'll want to coordinate with the trim in your gown so the jewelry and trim blends. Pearls usually go better with beads, and diamonds with crystals.
A v-neck might need only a diamond solitaire.
7. Coordinate with your bridesmaids . You want the complete look of your bridal party to harmonize. There will be lots of photographs of the whole party so make sure everything works well together.
8. Think about the veil. You might want to consider stud or small hoop earrings that can not become tangled in a veil.
9. Do not over do it . You do not want your jewelry to be the star of the show. Everything you wear should make the guests say, "Oh my, the bride looks so beautiful." You want to choose pieces that complement your personal appearance. Earrings can frame your face. A necklace will draw attention to your lovely shoulders and neck. Think about what you want to enhance about your features.
10. Try everything on at one time. You might find a wonderful tiara and an awesome set of earrings that look incredible separately. Put them together and they're just too much. You want to find the perfect balance of glamor and simplicity to create your desired effect.
And finally, make sure the jewelry you pick reflects your personality . This is your day, and every thing you wear should be a reflection of your style. You do not want to feel uncomfortable during the ceremony because you're worried about your tiara is falling off or the heavy bracelet your best friend spoke to you is dangly and annoying.
Do not let any one convince you to wear anything that will not make you happy when you look back at your wedding photographs.
Planning a wedding can seem overwhelming. But do not get so weighed down with the details that you forget to enjoy the moments. Take a deep breath and remember this is your special day, the start of your life with your new husband. Do not become so stressed that you forget to take pleasure in the planning, too.
Your husband and guests will appreciate the thoughtfulness and care you put into each part of your wedding. Choosing the right bridal jewellry is one more step in creating the ceremony you've dreamed of for years.
