Bridal jewelry is the final touch that pulls the entire bridal look together with the bridal gown and hair. Selecting the bridal gown is the first and most important part, but the selection of the bridal jewelry is the icing on the cake. With bridal gown designers creating more varieties of dresses, the bridal jewelry industry must keep up. Many bridal gowns now have either pearl or swarovski crystal embellishments or a combination of both, leaving more options available for the selection of the bridal jewelry that will match.

Typically, in tradition, brides wore white or ivory pearls for their wedding day bridal jewelry. Whether the bride inherited the pearl bridal jewelry she wore on her wedding day or purchased new pearl bridal jewelry, pearls were what was traditionally worn for bridal jewelry. Many brides are still choosing to wear the traditional pearls for their bridal jewelry. Whether their mothers or grandmothers are passing down a family heirloom, or they are purchasing new pearl bridal jewelry, pearls are still a popular selection for many brides. Many bridal gowns available are embellished with pearls in the design of the bridal gown. For a lot of brides, selecting pearls not only matches their bridal gown perfectly, but still keeps the traditional pearl bridal jewelry theme.

Finding the Perfect Bridal Jewelry

December 21st, 2009

A bride on her wedding day wants to look both beautiful and glamorous.  The dress is, of course, the first step to achieving that look.  The bridal jewelry she will wear is the icing on the cake.  There are all types of bridal jewelry styles to browse from manufactured bridal jewelry to couture custom bridal jewelry pieces.  Finding the right fit means a custom fit for most brides, so finding a good bridal jewelry design company is a great way to get you started.

Look for a bridal jewelry company or designer that both fits your budget, but also your style.  Every designer has their own signature look to all of their wedding jewelry pieces, so finding one that suits you specifically is the first step.  Another item to consider while searching for the right bridal jewelry company is options.  You want to be able to custom select your bridal necklace and bracelet lengths, clasp styles, earring styles, but most importantly, you need the colors to match.  A good bridal jewelry store will have a wide variety of pearl and crystal color options so you can make a perfect match.  While white is the most traditional color a bride may wear, ivory, champagne and light pinks are becoming more popular with brides.  Some brides are finding gowns with gorgeous sashes in a wide array of colors suits them best.

Once you’ve determined what kind of style you would like, the best way to match your bridal jewelry colors with your wedding gown is to compare the colors together right in front of your own eyes.  Find a bridal jewelry store or designer or website that offers you color samples for both pearls and crystals.  A good bridal jewelry company will send you samples of any color you need to see in person to make the best and closest comparison of your wedding gown to your bridal jewelry.

After you’ve chosen what color pearls and crystals will suit your wedding gown the best you can search for the right style that will compliment your beautiful gown and your own wedding style.  You need to consider what bridal jewelry accessories you would like to wear.  There are necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hairpins, hair combs, tiaras and more that a bride can choose from in her search for the perfect look.  You may want to wear only a bracelet and earrings or a necklace and bracelet, or all three together.  You’ll have to imagine what pieces you would like to bring together to find the perfect combination of bridal jewelry for your special day.

Another item to consider is your hair accessories.  Are you wearing a tiara?  Not all women feel comfortable in a tiara, so there are other options available such as hair combs and hairpins or hair vines.  These hair jewel accessories can accentuate your hairstyle without the over the top tiara.  For women that love the idea of a tiara but still want that glitz, there are a wide variety of hairpins and hair jewels that will compliment your tiara on your wedding day.  Some brides often remove their tiaras at the reception, but may still want some bling in the hair.  Having some customized hairpins that coordinate with your tiara and bridal gown are the perfect way to accentuate your look without the use of a tiara throughout your entire special day.

There are many items to consider when selecting your bridal jewelry.  Be sure to keep an open mind.  You may be lucky to find just what you’re looking for the first time, but trying on several pieces of jewelry to find exactly what will match perfect with that gorgeous gown can be a fun and fruitful process.  The best part about the selection of your bridal jewelry is that you don’t have to preserve your bridal jewelry in a box in your attic after the wedding.  Your bridal jewelry is something that you can wear all of the time after the wedding.  Whether you are celebrating your anniversary, attending another wedding, or just going out on the town for drinks, your bridal jewelry pieces can compliment your look for that day and keep your most special day’s memories alive.
