Crystals or pearls? Diamonds or turquoise? Pairing jewellery with your dream dress can be such a dilemma, but don't sweat it. Are you classic? Fashion-forward? Avant-garde? Accessory experts say let your personality be your guide.
True to Jackie O’s timeless style, pearls are the perfect accessory for the classic girl. These delicate oyster offerings are particularly hot this season. Look for them in pretty pastel hues, irregular shapes or, if you’re a purist, hunt out a perfect choker-length string of crisp white pearls. If you love the look of pearls, but can’t swing the hefty price tag, consider investing in some high-end costume jewels. Chances are, only you will know the difference.
For the Fashionista
If you’re more comfortable in cropped silk cargos and stilettos than a classic little black dress, let your inner coolness be your guide. Large chokers with crystals and pearls are hugely popular with fashion-forward brides. Bigger, chunky pieces of jewellery look smashing with strapless and spaghetti-strap gowns because these dresses leave a lot of open neck space to showcase the accessory. Wear long, cascading necklaces, which dip almost into your cleavage, to accentuate the to the max space between dress and undressed.
Unique Bijoux
If you’re on the avant-garde side of the fashion wheel, costume jewellery can take your bridal ensemble from basic to brilliant. Simple, classic looks with unexpected elements will set you apart from the crowd. A crystal choker adorned on the side with a striking crystal and pearl flower, looks daring and dramatic when paired with a simple, sexy sheath. Another option is to play with fun, fabulous and over-the-top pieces.
Cinderella Fantasies
You are going to look like a princess on your wedding day, no matter what you do, but there are ways to play it up. Sparkly silver and crystal accents on earrings, bracelets and necklaces will take you down the royal mile. Of course, no discussion of bridal accessories would be complete without the tiara. A little bit of sparkle is the perfect way to crown your look.
Will you take the plunge and snip off the hemp bracelets adorning your wrists since summer camp 12 years ago? Will you treat your wedding dress to the same string of pearls you’d wear with your little black dress? It’s up to you. They key is to choose the pieces that make you look and feel fabulous.
