Unspoken Rules Of Bridal Jewelry
Finding the most beautiful bridal jewelry to make sure you look your best on your wedding day isn’t something that most brides consider from the start. It’s all about the dress, the venue, and the other big and important things that need to be sorted out first. However, a few months into wedding planning, you’re going to want to give your bridal jewelry some serious thought.
Here are the unspoken rules of bridal jewelry to help you figure out what to do:
Find Your Dress First
Finding your dress first is pretty much a given, but just in case you thought you’d start with smaller, easier tasks and then move on to the bigger tasks – DON’T. Finding the right dress is essential, and only then should you start to figure out what jewelry you want to wear with it. You might have an idea in your head of the exact dress you want to wear, only to try them on and fall in love with something totally different. Wait until you’ve bought a dress.
Pick Your Hairstyle Second
Once you’ve found your dress, you should pick your hairstyle. Again, this can change the way jewelry looks on you. Brides who have their hair up may want to show off the neckline of their dress and a pair of beautiful earrings. Brides who have their hair down may be complimenting a bandeau style dress, and avoid having too much jewelry from the neck up at all. Make sure you have an idea of how you’re going to have your hair.
Don’t Overdo It
It’s your wedding, and Iris Apfel certainly wouldn’t have listened to people if they told her ‘don’t over do it’. If you’re confident in your style, then go and do what you like. In general, though, you should simply aim to look like the best version of yourself on your wedding day, and not like you’ve taken a bath in a jewelry store.
Always Be Yourself
Even on occasions like this, it can be best to stick to what you know. Don’t choose anything that you don’t feel is your style, just because it’s classed as a wedding piece. You need to feel comfortable and like yourself on your wedding day. Make sure you choose pieces that go with your designer eternity rings so you look more polished and put together. Mixing up metals and stuff is fine on a normal day, but probably not on your wedding day.
Give Yourself Plenty Of Time To Find The Right Pieces
Don’t think that this is an easy task and you can therefore do it with a week to spare. You need to give yourself at least a couple of months. This way, you can try on your jewelry with dress fittings, and make sure everything is comfortable before you get married.
Choose Things You’ll Wear Again
Just because this is your wedding doesn’t mean you should choose items you’ll never wear again. Choose things you could wear again to a formal occasion!
Don’t Be Afraid To Incorporate Color
Finally, don’t be afraid to incorporate a little color of you normally do this as a person. It’ll show off your personality and can add a little fun to the day.
