Wedding is one of the most important moments in everyone's life.
Besides the wedding dress, jewelry is also an important part of the bride's look.
Choosing the right wedding jewelry can add a lot of color to your overall look. Here are Elinee's suggestions for wedding jewelry, pay attention to these aspects to create the perfect wedding!
1. Matching the dress
The metal color of the jewelry should complement the wedding dress and overall theme. For example, white gold or platinum pairs seamlessly with a white gown, while an ivory gown with gold jewelry is stunning. Rose gold has a romantic vibe and can be paired with gowns of all shades.
2. Consider the neckline of the gown
The neckline of the gown plays an important role in choosing the right jewelry. Strapless and sweetheart necklines are perfect for pearls and short necklaces, while V-necks are perfect for pendants or layered necklaces. For higher necklines, choose earrings and bracelets.
3. Balance your look
To avoid looking too flashy or understated, balance your jewelry.
If you're wearing a statement necklace, go for simpler earrings and vice versa. Coordinating your jewelry pieces ensures that nothing will make your look look too over-the-top and out of tone for the entire wedding.
4. Jewelry should match the fabric of your dress
Sometimes it can be difficult to know whether you should choose white gold, rose gold, yellow gold or silver for your jewelry.
But the fabric of your wedding dress will help you make your choice. Platinum and silver look beautiful with white gowns. But if your wedding dress is ivory, wearing gold jewelry will enhance the overall effect the most.
Rose gold complements pink dresses. If your dress is light beige, choose polished silver to dazzle.
Remember to coordinate with the embellishments on your wedding dress. The beading on your dress will determine what metals and stones to wear.
5. Pay attention to comfort
You'll be wearing your jewelry for a long time, so comfort is key. Make sure your earrings aren't too heavy, your necklace is comfortable, and your bracelet won't pinch. Comfortable jewelry allows you to enjoy your day without distractions. Especially on the dance floor!
6. Consider your hairstyle
Your hairstyle will influence the type of earrings you choose. Plaits and short hair work well with drop or dangle earrings, while loose or long hair can be worn with studs or smaller earrings to avoid tangles.
7. Don't forget the heirlooms
Adding heirlooms to your wedding jewelry can add sentimental value. These pieces of jewelry often hold meaningful stories and can be beautiful "old things" or "borrowed things."
Let the wedding continue these beautiful stories and blessings.
8. Buy from a trusted jeweler
When purchasing wedding jewelry, be sure to buy from a reputable jeweler you trust. You don't want to buy from a reputable jeweler that lacks authenticity.
Make sure that your jewelry comes with a hallmark. Remember to ask for a receipt for your purchase in case you want to return or exchange it in the near future.
9. Trust yourself when choosing jewelry
Last but not least, always trust yourself when buying jewelry for your wedding. Family and friends may have strong opinions about your dress and jewelry. It can all seem overwhelming.
But it's important to take the time to pick out jewelry that you love. Don't pick out jewelry to please someone else. This is your own day and your time to show off your style.
10. Shop early
Start looking for wedding jewelry as early as possible. This gives you plenty of time to explore different options, make budget adjustments, and even customize your jewelry. Save for a rainy day and avoid the stress that comes with shopping at the last minute.
