Your wedding jewelry should feel like part of your dress, not an afterthought. The easiest way to get it right is to start with your neckline. Here's how to match bridal jewelry to your wedding dress neckline.
Strapless and sweetheart necklines
These leave your collarbones open, so they're ideal for a necklace that sits just above the neckline. A pearl or crystal set adds elegance without competing with the dress.
V-neck and plunging necklines
Follow the shape: a pendant or drop necklace that echoes the V looks balanced. If your dress is heavily embellished, skip the necklace and choose statement earrings.
Off-the-shoulder and bardot
Let your shoulders shine. A delicate choker or no necklace at all, with sparkling earrings, keeps the look clean.
High neck, halter and lace sleeves
Skip the necklace. Focus on earrings, a bracelet and your rings.
Choosing earrings
- Updo: drop or chandelier earrings show off your neck.
- Hair down: studs or small drops won't tangle in your hair.
- Busy dress: keep earrings simple.
Rings and bands
Choose a wedding band that sits comfortably next to your engagement ring. Curved or vine-style bands are designed to hug a center stone.
Metal and color tips
- Silver or white tones pair beautifully with bright white gowns.
- Gold tones warm up ivory and champagne dresses.
- A pop of color, like a blue teardrop set, makes a lovely "something blue".
