As one of the most thoughtfully planned events in life, your wedding day should have details that embody your personal style and unique love story. Like an incredible wedding gown or a lovely bouquet, the jewelry you wear on your wedding day should not be overlooked.
Now that you have decided on your gown, it’s time to think about how you should accessorize. Choose from brilliant diamond necklaces, elegant earrings, dainty bracelets, or a combination of all three. To keep from becoming overwhelmed with the countless options available, we’ve brought together a few tips on selecting the most personalized jewelry to wear on your wedding day.
1.Comfort is Key
Whether you decide to go bold or opt for something subtle, it’s important to find something comfortable. Try to find pieces similar to your everyday style to avoid feeling out of place. If your regular getup consists of yellow gold jewelry, it only makes sense to stick to the pieces that make you feel your finest. Another thing to consider is the length of time you will be wearing your jewelry. Robust statement earrings may look appealing, but after a long y of festivities, the weight can become uncomfortable for those not used to wearing them.
When all is said and done, it's important your pieces pair well with your wedding dress. While it might not be the easiest of tasks, trying on your dress with your jewelry will ensure everything comes together beautifully. Discovering what everything will look like pulled together will remove any reservations about a necklace hanging too close to your gown’s neckline or an earring getting snagged on your veil.
2. Something Borrowed
Jewelry is the easiest and most common “something borrowed.” Sentimental pieces passed from one happy bride to another should not be an afterthought. Avoid finding out too late that your treasured borrowed piece of jewelry does not match the dress of your dreams. If you already have your eye on a set of pearls worn by your mother or a dainty pair of earrings from your favorite aunt, make sure it becomes part of your search for the perfect wedding dress.
If an heirloom piece of jewelry is being passed down for keeps, it could be a good idea to reimagine it into something suitable for your style. Contact your local jeweler to rework a dated necklace into a modern masterpiece or transform a delicate ring into an intricate pendant. Reveal the lovely piece for the first time on this magical day, and continue to relive the memories for years to come.
3. Prioritize Personal Style
Falling down the rabbit hole of Pinterest is extremely easy. But it’s important not to lose yourself amongst the vast array of trends. While something may look appealing amongst a board of carefully curated photos, you may look back and wonder “what was I thinking?”
Exploring trends for inspiration is not a bad idea, but stick to looks that feel right for you. Incorporate chic trending pieces into your everyday style and mix them into something unique to you. We have heard all before, “trends come and go,” but your wedding photos are memories that will last a lifetime.
4. Mother Doesn’t Always Know Best
Looking to your most trusted confidant, whether that be your mom or best friend, may be a good start, but remember each person has their own preferences. No one could possibly know your style and what feels comfortable for you, better than yourself. The idea of dressing your best on your wedding day will likely look different between varying perspectives and even generations.
For Grandma, a delicate string of pearls may have been the iconic piece of the decade. However, in recent years an updo with lavish earrings is more likely to make the cut. Take the advice from the important women in your life, and blend it in with your own ingenuity for a look catered to you.
5. Make the Switch
Lastly, while selecting the ideal jewelry piece to reflect your special day, remember you can always swap pieces out. From walking down the aisle to a night of dancing during the reception, switching up accessories can be a more budget-friendly option than creating a whole new second look.
