Wedding jewelry is any and every jewelry item that makes you feel unbelievably gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful on your wedding day. Wedding jewelry can be a simple pearl necklace, diamond stud earrings, a delicate tiara or an elegant bracelet.
Most wedding jewelry is white and romantic. Pearls, diamonds and crystals are classic. Earrings are typically chandelier style, reminiscent of fragile snowflakes floating from the ears. Wedding necklaces range from simple cameo pendants and pearl strands to thick diamond chokers or wreath-like crystal designs.
Diamond tiaras are hot wedding jewelry items these days and might not look the way you’d expect. Many of them are ethereal and floral, looking less like a medieval crown and more like a frosty garland or celestial halo.
More traditional brides like to follow the old saying “something old, something new, something borrowed something blue” when picking out their wedding jewelry wardrobe. They’ll go for one vintage item like their grandmother’s heirloom cocktail ring, one new item like a designer wedding tiara, one borrowed piece like a friend’s tennis bracelet and one item with a bit of blue which can be pretty much anything!
Some brides go a bit overboard when picking out their wedding jewelry. Yes, it is a special occasion and you want to drape yourself in delightful jewels, but it’s important to keep everything in proportion. When shopping for wedding jewelry, keep in mind that the jewelry is an accessory. Your guests came to see you. You don’t want to be hidden beneath layers of expensive jewelry! Picking out just the right wedding jewelry can brighten your face, illuminate your look and make you feel the way a bride should: breathtakingly beautiful on her special day.
