Wedding Jewelry Selection
What jewelry you wear on the day of your wedding will depend on the style of the ceremony and reception. While the traditional white wedding is still popular, it’s not the only choice. Plenty of people are having casual weddings, themed weddings like western and beach ceremonies, and other unusual choices. Wearing the wrong jewelry could make you look and feel out of place – not the memories you want for your big day. Here are a few common looks that you can use as a springboard when you pick out your wedding jewelry.
Classic – If you’re wearing a while, traditional dress and the wedding ceremony will be very traditional, you can get a lot of mileage out of big pieces that really catch the eye. Diamond earrings and a matching pendant and tennis bracelet aren’t out of the question, and you can get much the same look for less using cubic zirconia and other less costly alternatives. If you’re wearing a strapless gown, think about complementing your beautiful wedding jewelry with an upswept hairdo that will draw attention to both your shoulders and your elegant earrings.
Contemporary – If you’re wearing a sleek, elegant modern dress, getting the right balance is trickier. Some women choose to soften and contrast their sleek gown with traditional jewelry. If you’d like to go this route, think about pearls – either natural or cultured. They come in many sizes, shapes, and colors, and can be found to fit your taste. Remember to check your jewelry against your outfit well before the wedding to make sure that you’ve achieved that subtle balance.
