Your wedding day look is all about balance — your gown, hair, makeup, and jewelry should come together seamlessly to reflect your personal style and enhance your natural beauty.
The right jewelry doesn’t just add sparkle; it tells your love story in every shimmering detail. Here’s how to choose the perfect pieces to complement your wedding dress.
1. Match Your Metal to Your Dress Color
Different dress shades pair beautifully with different metals. Depending on what look you choose for your wedding, consider incorporating these various metals with the appropriate dress color:
- White dresses: Pair best with platinum or white gold jewelry to maintain a sleek, cohesive look.
- Ivory or champagne gowns: Complement warm undertones with yellow gold or rose gold jewelry.
- Blush or soft pastel dresses: Try rose gold or mixed metal pieces for a romantic, modern touch.
Choosing the right metal ensures your jewelry enhances your gown’s hue rather than competing with it. If you need help selecting the proper jewelry to complement your dress, stop by the shop in Frisco, and our team would be happy to assist you!
2. Balance the Neckline and Necklace
Do you prefer a strapless gown, a high neckline, or something in between? Regardless of your preference, your neckline can help guide your necklace selection. Consider the following:
- Sweetheart or strapless: A statement necklace or choker draws attention to your collarbone.
- V-neck: A pendant or drop necklace elongates your neck and complements the plunge.
- High neckline or illusion lace: Skip the necklace and opt for dramatic earrings instead.
All necklines are beautiful and can pop even more with the right accessories. And if your dress already has intricate beadwork or embellishments, keep the jewelry simple — sometimes less is more.
3. Choose Earrings That Frame Your Face
With so much emphasis on necklaces and rings, it’s easy to forget about earrings. However, earrings play an important role in pulling your overall look together. Your earrings should harmonize with your hairstyle and neckline:
- Updos: Perfect for dangling earrings or classic drops.
- Loose curls or waves: Try studs or small hoops that won’t tangle in your hair.
- Vintage-inspired gowns: Consider pearl or art deco designs for timeless elegance.
Pro tip: Try on your earrings with your hair styled before the big day to make sure they complement the overall look!
4. Don’t Forget the Details
The small details are what pull the whole outfit and overall look together—so don’t forget about the accessories! Small accessories beyond the basics can elevate your bridal look:
- A delicate bracelet adds sparkle without distraction.
- A simple hairpin or tiara can tie your jewelry theme together.
- For sentimental touches, consider wearing a family heirloom or a custom piece created just for your wedding day.
