So, you’ve gone and picked out theperfect dressthat accentuates yourcurves and features. The dress withjust the right colorthat brings out your eyes yet complements the rest of the bridal party; the dress that has it all. It’s time for the next step. How do you even begin to sort through all of women’s jewelry options; let alone look for jewelry that will even compare to that perfect mother of the bride dress that you finally, FINALLY found?
From diamond earrings to pearl necklaces, it’s hard to know where exactly to start the search for your wedding jewelry. Have no fear, we are here to help! There is no doubt that accessorizing will require some planning. Since most of the photographs from the wedding will feature you from the waist-up, face framing jewelry is important to think about. Obviously, it is expected for the Bride to spend a good amount of time searching for every piece of her outfit: this is a very special day for you as well as for your child, and many of your guests will be observing you just as much as the bride. You want to feel comfortable and confident during this important day, and jewelry can play a large role in giving you that boost you need to make the statement that you desire.
Depending on your style preferences and the look you are going for, you have many options to choose from in order to feel the most comfortable in what you wear.
We wanted to simplify the process by breaking it down by neckline and by your type of style. To get you started on the thinking process, this chart should give you a few ideas of how to wear your beautiful jewelry in a way that coordinates properly with the unique neckline that your dress offers.
Going for More Conservative? Keep it Modern and Sleek
To keep a more conservative look updated, choose classic pieces with modern twists...
These looks are appropriate for church, traditional, and formal weddings. Pearls are a great place to start. For that modern quality, feel free to combine pearls with metallic shades and rich earth-tones. Mix it up with different metals, multi-strands and asymmetrical designs. Play with the size and color of pearls to create more of a statement, for example; oversized pearl bracelets work fabulously with shorter-sleeved outfits.

For a Hollywood Glam Look, Bring out the Sparkle
For a more dramatic, done-up look, go for sparkling jewelry. While you are looking for jewelry that stands out, try to think with a less-is-more outlook; it is important to have one statement piece and let it speak for itself rather than draping yourself in diamonds. The last thing you want is to look as though you are trying to take away from the bride.
This style works well for black tie weddings, and weddings which call for a little more glamour and sparkle. To get all that glam, put a spin on classic materials like pearls, crystals and gold bead accents by sporting them in bolder styles like sparkling multi-strand necklaces or long chandelier earrings.
