The right accessories can make or break any outfit. When the time comes to choose a wedding dress, it should be done with your accessories in mind. It’s not just about style but also theme of your wedding. For example, you wouldn’t want to wear a bulky diamond necklace with a simple wedding dress at your beach wedding. To help you make the right choices in wedding accessories, take a look at the following bits of advice:
Choose the right metal
Not all wedding dresses are white and there are even several shades of white and off-white to consider. This presents a challenge since some shades of white clash with certain metals. If you are wearing a regular white wedding dress, you should choose platinum or pearl accessories. Diamond-white wedding dresses look lovely with gold, silver, rose gold, and pearl accessories. Ivory wedding gowns are also really popular and they look best when paired with gold jewelry to highlight the yellow undertones of this dress.
Check your neckline
Some dresses have broad straps, others have v-necks, and there are also strapless designs. Not all necklaces look good with all necklines. Strapless or sweetheart dresses can benefit from a necklace but, before you make any decisions, consider chandelier earrings instead. With your hair up and out of your neck, it will help these earrings stand out. With such elegance decorating your ears, there is no need to add a necklace. You can wear clear gems or you can choose your birthstone or a color that will compliment the color scheme of your wedding. You can also wear a matching bracelet to compliment your earrings. A v-neck dress looks lovely with a modest pendant or choker. Choose earrings to match your necklace and compliment the theme of your wedding. A halter or reverse halter dress does not leave room for any kind of necklace. You can adorn the portion of material around your neck with jewels if you like. You can also focus more on hair accessories, delicate earrings, and a matching bracelet instead.
Ask the pros
Jewelry retailers and anyone in the bridal wear business will be able to offer fantastic advice with regards to pairing the best accessories with your dress. Remember that you are by no means limited to earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Hairpins and other accessories can transform your look in the most elegant way!
Express yourself
Just as your wedding dress is an expression of your inner self, so too should you keep your own personality in mind when selecting jewelry. If you are more of an understated beauty, then choose delicate jewels that will suit this personality. If, on the other hand, you’ve always dreamed of feeling like a princess as you walk down the isle, then by all means go wild! Of course, you also need to make sure that your jewelry selection suits the theme of your wedding. A small wedding with just a few loved ones might not call for the most elaborate dress and accessories.
Budget
Money is another important point to consider. It’s good to know that you don’t necessarily have to wear diamonds when other options, like cubic zirconias are an option. They have just as much sparkle and at a fraction of the price! For those brides who are on a really tight budget, you might want to consider dress jewelry.
