After finally finding that dream wedding dress, now it’s time to choose the right accessories to complete your look. The right wedding jewelry will bring out all of the best features in both your gown and yourself, so it is a really important part of your complete wedding day look. Read below to learn how to match your wedding jewelry with your bridal gown.

Many times brides will want a complete set of wedding jewelry including a necklace, bracelet, and a pair of earrings. There is also the headpiece to be considered; it does not need to be an exact match to the rest of the bridal jewelry, but it should definitely have a common style and be made from some of the same elements to ensure a cohesive look. It is usually easiest to begin your search for the perfect accessories with either the earrings or the necklaces. As soon as you have chosen one of those, finishing the rest of the jewelry set will be really easy.

The style of your wedding dress and the style of your wedding jewelry should compliment each other. It also needs to work well with the neckline of your gown. Any embellishments on your wedding dress help to influence which kinds of jewelry work the best. For instance, if you have chosen a lace gown, then romantic pearl and crystal wedding jewelry will be a wonderful coordinate. A bridal gown which has elaborate silver embroidery would look gorgeous with rhineston or crystal wedding jewelry which will pull out the color of the embellishment.

Another thing to think about is the effect which you hope to create with your wedding gown and jewelry. Will you be wearing a very light chiffon dress for your destination wedding? If this is the case, then you should choose wedding jewelry that has a beach theme to it such as a coin pearl necklace, a crystal starfish pendant, or even a shell pendant. Brides who are to be wed in grand cathedrals will need jewelry which is dramatic enough for the setting. Think grand and opulent. This is also your chance to wear a fabulous tiara, so live it up!

A really important thing to always think about when choosing wedding jewelry is the neckline. A strapless bridal gown can handle a bold design such as a choker or multi-strand necklace with a drop. Pendants tend to look very pretty with v-neck or sweetheart neckline gowns, as they echo the shape of the silhouette. Brides who have chosen one of this season’s trendy one shoulder gowns will want to skip the necklace and focus on a dramatic pair of bridal earrings, such as chandeliers or long stiletto drops. Layer a couple of fun Swarovski crystal bracelets for the perfect finishing touch to your chic and modern look.

Another important thing to think about is how light or heavy your want your wedding jewelry to be. It’s all about balancing it with your dress. To bring out your own personality in a plain wedding dress, then orante bridal jewelry is what works best. Petite pearls and dainty crystals are delciate jewelry that compliment ethereal dresses made from chiffon or tulle. A princess looking wedding dress should always be complimented by a beautiful set bridal jewelry fit for royalty!

A girl’s wedding day is usually one made of dreams. She wants her day to be perfect, down to every detail – the cake, the flowers, her dress – everything. Her jewelry is no exception. It might seem like a small detail but it is one that can complete a bride’s entire look. It comes as no surprise that pearls are one of the most looked to options for wedding day jewelry. The represent purity and innocence and have a simplistic beauty that can flawlessly match any wedding gown.

Pearls appear alongside weddings for many centuries and throughout many cultures. Ancient Greeks incorporated pearls into every wedding. They believed that pearls ensured marital bliss and would even prevent the bride from crying on her wedding day! Pearls were at the height of fashion during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Royal weddings that took place in the French House of Burgundy had pearls everywhere. Everyone from the bride and groom to guests (male and female) were adorned in beautiful lustrous pearls.

The tradition of pearls for weddings continues today. Often, the bride is given pearls as a wedding gift. Traditionally a mother passes her pearls down to her daughter on her daughter's wedding day, or the bride's father will bestow brand new pearls on his daughter for her special day. Pearls are not restricted to only the brides however. It has become a popular tradition for brides to give her bridesmaids pearls as a gift for being part of her special day.

The best way to choose your wedding day pearl jewelry is to take the style of the wedding in to consideration. Is the wedding casual or elegant? Traditional or modern? Figuring out the answer to this question can help determine the style of jewelry that is best suited for the occasion. Go with large, round pearls if you want your wedding to be traditional and formal. Simple but sophisticated single strand white freshwater or Akoya pearls would be a good choice. In addition to a necklace, simple stud earrings and a bracelet would add just the right sophisticated touch to your look.

If your wedding will be non-traditional, you don't have to shy away from pearls altogether, just pick a non-traditional type of pearl. A great idea is to find pearls that match the wedding party’s dresses. For a spring wedding, go with lavender or rose colored pearls. For something truly chic and modern, go with some beautiful black Tahitian pearls for a statement look. For a modern ceremony, you can also choose some more artsy pieces of jewelry. Try a pearl choker necklace, beautiful drop pearl earrings or a multi-stranded necklace for a truly sophisticated look.

Another great way to incorporate pearls into your wedding is in the decorations. You can really make pearls the theme of your wedding. You can attach pearls to a ribbon tied onto the invitation for an unexpected touch. Pearls can also be used as decoration on the cake for a truly luxurious touch. Another great place to utilize pearls is on the reception tables. Freshwater pearls would most likely be the most affordable option and you can find them in a variety of colors. Use pearls of all different colors in the bottom of vases or sprinkled on the tabletop around the centerpiece for a real conversation starter. For a real statement use black or peacock colored Tahitian pearls or dyed freshwater pearls against a white tablecloth.

There are many options to use pearls on your wedding day and without a doubt they make a sophisticated impact. Wear the traditional white Akoya pearls or the more bold Tahitian pearls and guests will truly take notice. Whether you wear them around your neck, give them as gifts or use them as decoration, pearls are a quick and easy way to achieve an elegant feel in any wedding setting.
