Wedding Jewelry Tips

You’ve planned everything, from the dress to the guest favors and now it is time to consider accessorizing your wedding look. Our best piece of advice is to include pieces that are a reflection of you and make you feel confident and beautiful.

As you begin thinking about jewelry for the big day, you’ll want to include the dress and how you will wear your hair. Here are some tips and things to consider:

  • How to match your dress style and neckline?If your dress is understated, consider statement jewelry to bring a bold look. With a more detailed dress, keep jewelry low key. With a v-neck dress opt for a pendant, while strapless look great with chokers and shorter necklaces to draw attention to your smile.
  • What metal matches your dress?For a white dress, platinum or silver will look beautiful. For ivory or champagne, gold jewelry will enhance the warm tone and creamy look. For a blush dress, try rose gold to coordinate with the soft pink of the dress.
  • What gems will shine with your dress?If your dress is crystal-embellished, a diamond necklace or earrings will complement the sparkle. Beaded wedding dresses look beautiful complemented by treated freshwater cultured pearl earrings or a pearl necklace.
  • What pairs with your hairstyle?An updo is a perfect opportunity to showcase statement pieces like hoops or drop earrings. Wearing your hair down might pair best with studs. And don’t forget to match your jewelry to your head piece.
  • Working on your something old, new, borrowed or blue?Jewelry is a perfect fit here, whether something new you’ve bought yourself, a borrowed piece from a family member or a piece handed down through generations.
