Choosing The Right Bridal Necklace & Jewelry

With so many jewelry stores and websites out there, choosing the perfect bridal necklace can be a tough decision. Here are a few pointers to help you find the perfect match for your perfect day!

1.Get your dress first. It's hard to pick jewelry that compliments your dress properly if you don't have the dress in front of you. Even though you may remember nearly all of the details, it's best to wait until you have it in hand in order to get it right. Many of my brides have ordered a necklace before receiving their dress; and later when the dress arrives they find the necklace doesn't match. By this time it's been months and is way too late for an exchange.

2. Find your personal style. Blingy, statement pieces with lots of rhinestones and crystals. Classic, elegant pieces with Swarovski crystals and fresh water pearls. Beachy, casual pieces with delicate Swarovski crystals only. My personal favorite look is vintage style jewelry paired with a solid satin or lace gown.

3.Match your style with your gown. If your dress has a lot of detailed beading, you generally want to go with delicate jewelry made of similar materials. If your dress has minimal beading, you can go bigger on the jewelry. The main idea here is to mimic the necklace to the neckline and materials of the gown!
