JEWELRY FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

What would a blushing bride be without her wedding jewelry? Choosing your bridal jewelry is one of the most important parts of the event. Face it, no matter how lovely your wedding dress looks, it will spend most of its life in a closet, inside a plastic bag. Your wedding jewelry on the other hand, can be worn time and time again, to anniversary dinners, to debutante parties and to picnics. (Hmm, maybe not picnics) Therefore because wedding jewelry keeps on giving, it's all the more important to choose wisely when shopping for the wedding.

You Better Shop Around
How does one possibly begin to choose wedding jewelry? There are many different styles to choose from and more individual pieces than you can even count. The best way to go about choosing your wedding jewelry is to plan the selection in accordance with your wedding theme, and also stopping to consider your everyday style. If you choose items that are too distinctive or luxurious then you won't be able to wear them often. The type of dress as well as the hairstyle can also play an important part in determining what jewelry to wear. The jewelry can't over shadow the dress; it has to complement the entire outfit as well as the theme. The headpiece and veil must also be considered when choosing jewelry. You wouldn't want the earrings to distract from the rest of the attire.





Earrings
Dangling or drop earrings go well with upswept hair. Shorter hair or a loose hairstyle would merit stud or short drop earrings. If your face shape were squarer than round, then you would look much better in earrings that are longer than they are wide. A round face shape might merit earrings with vertical lines.

Necklaces
Necklaces are also determined by wedding theme and color. If your dress has beads and sequins then wearing a necklace might be too much flash. Rounder necklines go well with circular necklaces while V shaped V shaped pendant necklaces complements necklines.





Pearl
Many people prefer pearl jewelry, and this choice to will be influenced by wedding theme. If you're wearing a bright white dress along with pearl jewelry than white pearl jewelry with silver plating is sure to complement the whole outfit. If the wedding dress is not true white, then you could consider pearl with gold plating.

There are many combinations to try when shopping for wedding jewelry—just remember that jewelry complements the bride. It doesn't distract from the big picture.
