Bridal jewellery shouldn't be an afterthought to your wedding look. If the dress makes the wedding, then it's safe to say that the jewellery makes the dress. Accessories make any outfit seem more personalised and special, and wedding gowns are no exception.

Here are our top 4 bridal jewellery dos and don'ts, so you’ll absolutely glow on the first day of the rest of your life:

Don’t Overdo It

Most women love jewellery, while some love it too much. Always remember that less is more. The last thing you want is to look like a walking jewellery box. If you want to make a statement, choose one part of the body to highlight with a large accessory, and balance the rest with small ornaments. An earrings and bracelet combo is a safe choice.

Give Yourself Enough Time

Your wedding day isn’t the day to try something new or go out of your comfort zone. Jewellery is an important part of pulling together your look. Make sure to choose your jewellery at least three months before the wedding. This way, you’ll have more time to see if it looks great with your gown and make any necessary changes.

Don’t Just Cut Corners, Put Quality First

Every bride has her budget, but the wedding isn’t the time to go cheap on jewellery. Choose quality pieces you can wear again and even pass on to your daughter someday. Unlike other items you’ll buy for the wedding, your bridal jewellery is something you can wear on different occasions, including anniversaries, formal events, and office meetings. Jewellery is an instant heirloom if you buy quality.

Personalise Your Jewellery

Your jewellery, not just your dress, should express your true style. Incorporate your preferred stones and metals into a design that will flatter your look. Go for timeless look, and you'll walk tall and enjoy your wedding pictures for a lifetime.

Walking down the aisle with just the wedding dress and inner glow may be enough, but the right jewellery makes any bride look truly stunning. Buy the dress first, use colour and complementary accents, accessorise the rest of the bridal party, incorporate their personal styles, and be comfortable. This way, you’ll feel comfortable and confident on your big day. Make an appointment with us and we’ll gladly assist you with the right bridal jewellery.
