Finding the ideal wedding jewelry set can be as overwhelming as picking out the perfect dress. A bride’s wedding jewelry complements their gown, reflects personal style, and adds that extra sparkle to their special day.
At Bromberg’s, we know how important it is for every piece of your wedding to come together perfectly, and jewelry is a big part of your look. We’ve put together these tips for coordinating engagement rings, wedding bands, and accessory jewelry to make a big impression on your big day.
Before exploring your jewelry options, envision your wedding dress’s style, neckline, and embellishments. A strapless gown, for example, may look amazing with a statement necklace, while a high neckline would look better with delicate earrings and a bracelet. Let your dress be your guide.
While it’s tempting to make a statement with each piece of jewelry you wear, remember that less is often more. Choose one piece to stand out with your gorgeous engagement ring, like a dazzling necklace or bold earrings, and complement it with simpler pieces to avoid overwhelming your look.
Your hairstyle will be a major factor in the jewelry you choose for your wedding. If you wear your hair in an updo, focus on earrings and bracelets that frame your face. If you have loose, flowing locks, opt for a statement necklace or delicate hairpiece to add a touch of glamour.
The color of your dress is another essential element to consider when coordinating your wedding jewelry. Ivory and champagne gowns pair beautifully with gold accents, while white dresses look best with silver or platinum jewelry. Consider the undertones of your dress to ensure a cohesive look.
Adding pieces of jewelry that have great personal significance to you, such as a family heirloom or a piece gifted by your partner, can go a long way in pulling your look together in a way you will genuinely love. These sentimental touches add a unique element to your look and will become cherished keepsakes from your wedding day.
If your dress features intricate details or embellishments, opt for simple jewelry to avoid competing elements. On the other hand, if your gown has a minimalist design, you have more freedom to make bolder jewelry choices. Whatever you go with, keep balance and symmetry in mind.
When it comes to the veil and headpiece, just like the rest of your gown, you want to ensure your jewelry complements your choice without overshadowing. Delicate earrings and a subtle necklace are perfect for letting your veil take center stage. If you go with a statement headpiece, minimal jewelry will be best.
The most important thing when it comes to choosing your wedding jewelry is your comfort. You should choose jewelry that will allow you to have fun and enjoy your big day. Avoid pieces that are too heavy or cumbersome. Instead, try to select jewelry that will be lightweight, well-fitted, and comfortable all the way into the evening—jewelry that will allow you to move and dance with ease.
Coordinating accessories for your big day is an art that requires careful consideration of your dress, personal style, and overall bridal aesthetic. By following these tips and trusting your instincts and what makes you comfortable, you will find the perfect ensemble to enhance your natural beauty and make you feel radiant.
