Bridal jewellery for the day a girl really needs to sparkle

Bridal jewellery? It's on the list, we hear you say. Organising a wedding can be a headache - enough to make you want to fast-forward to the honeymoon just to escape the stresses and strains of the W word. Bridal jewellery is just another necessity to add to the list and, as each necessity is ticked off; it can often be the only remaining item on the list. Yet it is so important never to underestimate the power of bridal jewellery.

One of the most important things a bride should remember is to pay endless attention to detail. Forget the napkins and favours for a moment and let's concentrate on you, the bride. When looking for the perfect bridal jewellery, there are so many factors to take into consideration. Obviously, you have found the perfect dress. It's always important to buy the dress before the bridal jewellery as you will need to consider which jewellery will suit the neckline, style, fabric and colour. Then let's consider the theme of the wedding - the colour scheme, where the ceremony and reception are taking place, the grandeur of the wedding and your own style. By asking yourself a few basic but important questions, will help determine the perfect bridal jewellery for you.

Bridal Jewellery and The Dress

The right bridal jewellery will truly transform you into a beautiful blushing bride, completing and enhancing the overall style. The wrong bridal jewellery will, at best, fade into insignificance and, at worst, make an expensive dress look cheap and mismatched. Fear not though - just by following some basic guidelines and tips you will shine on your special day. Cinderella, you shall go to the ball.

There are two routes you can go down with bridal jewellery and it depends on your style. If you believe this is your one special day to shine and to have all eyes on you, you'll no doubt want to go for full-on glamour. Bold jewellery such as a statement jewel-dropping choker with complimenting earrings or sparkling chandelier earrings with a crystal-encrusted bracelet will be your style. If you're petite, this look with be far too overpowering so go for more delicate bridal jewellery. The other option is to let your dress be the main focus and keep your jewellery to a minimum. Delicate small drop earrings will give a subtle shimmer and a delicate bridal jewellery set will look very pretty. The key to this look is to compliment your dress rather than compete.

Instead modern jewellery with clean lines is the key. For more classic designs, opt to replicate the look of diamonds (after all, they are a girls best friend) with a complete bridal jewellery set. They may not be the real thing but who's to know otherwise. Promise we won't tell! If you want to dress up your wedding dress, a jewel dropping yet delicate necklace and complimenting earrings will provide just enough sparkle to an elegant straight dress.

For vintage style, clear crystal and smoky crystal bridal jewellery sets on antique silver tone is the perfect choice. You'll look as though you're wearing family heirlooms which have been passed through generations.
