Do not ruin the perfect wedding dress with the all too wrong, all too inappropriate jewelry lest you find yourself less than the radiant bride on your most important of days. You have to strike the right balance between the size and shape of the jewelry vis ? vis the color and cut of your wedding gown for that all too desired vavavoom effect. Here is how.
Less is More
And, girl, is that the truth! You must never fall into the tacky trap of over accessorizing precisely because you want to call attention to yourself, not to the bling blings strung all over you like a rap star with a serious fetish for chunky, clunky gold chains and big rocks. Channel Grace Kelly, snub Snoop Dogg. You get the point.
For example, if you are wearing a tiara, skip the necklace. Or if you are wearing diamond earrings, skip the necklace, too. Or if you want to wear a statement necklace, skip the rest of the jewelry set. The important point is to wear jewelry that will both complement your wedding gown and draw attention to your radiant face. This brings you to the next point.
Look at the Cut and Design
No, not the cut of the gemstone. Your wedding jewelry must complement the cut of your wedding gown to provide you with the perfect fit. (And here you were worrying about fitting into your gown on the day itself! But this match is a must do)
To help you choose the perfect jewelry, you can consider these suggestions:
For the strapless bridal gown, you can wear a statement necklace with bold design that can draw attention to your neckline. Again, you should skip piling on other jewelry otherwise you will be decked out like an out of season Christmas tree.
For the halter dress, you can don diamond stud earrings to highlight the gown s cut. If you feel naked without hand jewelry, then you can add in a simple and stunning bracelet.
For the sweetheart neckline, you can opt for a lariat necklace for that sexy effect.
For the heavily beaded and heavily embroidered bridal gown, you must lay off on the elaborate jewelry. Your bridal gown will be the focal point of your aura already!
For the simple bridal gown, you can go bold and daring but steer clear of brash and tacky.
Again, the important thing is that your jewelry must complement instead of distract from your wedding gown.
Lay On the Tradition
Or you can create one of your own! Your jewelry can follow the age old adage about something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a lucky sixpence for your shoe but definitely not all at the same time. Again, less is more when it comes to bridal jewelry.
For example, you can wear sapphire jewelry for the something blue part. Or the heirloom tiara for the something old and the small albeit contemporary diamond stud earrings for the something new part.
These suggestions can make your head spin but rest assured that when you see the perfect jewelry , you will know as surely as you know the design of your wedding gown. Trust your woman s intuition on this but a mirror will come in handy, too!
