Every bride dreams of how special their wedding day is going to be. In their minds, they plan how great the day will be right from before and after the wedding. The bride-to-be dreams of the perfect wedding dress and the bridal jewelry to accompany their matrimonial attire.

Even the small details matter, which means bridal jewelry have to compliment or offer a pristine contrast to the dress. Thus as a bride, you need to be careful in how you choose to accessorize on that special day.

Tips for Choosing the Best Bridal Jewelry

One thing to note as a bride is that the bridal jewelry chosen should add a beautiful finishing detail to the gown.

The Dress Style

While selecting the best bridal accessories, it is important to consider the style of the dress to determine what jewelry to wear. Bridal gowns come in different styles from open backs, V necks, square necks, strapless gowns to halter tops. For open backs, lariat jewelry is ideal to not only compliment the dress, but to also bring attention to the beautiful glittery ornament hanging from the bride’s back. V neck dresses also blend perfectly with bridal lariats and a highlight around the neck can be emphasized by matching the V shape with a Y-drop piece of necklace.

Square necks are a bit closed up thus a bridal choker will work perfectly to highlight the neck area. For halter tops, a bridal lariat jewelry that is dangled both on the back and front creates attention from both sides and highlight the bride as the special girl in the entire crowd. Strapless gowns are the most flexible of bridal gowns as they work perfect with chokers or dangling lariat. Not only does the jewelry compliment the dress, but they also highlights the bride’s beautiful shoulders and arms

Jewelry Color

One other detail to consider while choosing bridal gowns is the color of the jewelry. Bridal jewelry color can be inspired by the different seasons of the year. A wedding in spring calls for bright and radiant colors thus your jewelry should have bright colors that compliment the bloom around you. Winter calls for subtle colors while summer calls for warm jewelry colors. Fall is a bit like winter; so it will also call for relaxed colors.

Tradition or Modern?

Choosing bridal jewelry also depends on whether the bride wants to stick to a traditional theme or want to embrace an urban look. For a bride who value tradition, pearls is the best jewelry choice. They not only come in different vintage colors, but they compliment gowns of any style or color as well. For the modern bride, the new bridal jewelry trend is donning Swarovski crystals to go with the gown. The crystals are embodied on the dress bodice and a little along the trim of the dress. Swarovski crystals are perfect for the bride who wants to highlight the beauty of their dress and draw all attention to it.

There are so many other factors to help choose the best bridal jewelry. For a unique design, you can always borrow inspiration from nature, magazines, the internet or a professional jewelry designer.
