When you’re planning a wedding, lists are your your life. You’ve sorted your wedding dress, maybe you scored an epic find from the high street or perhaps you picked a chic suit… Obviously the engagement and wedding ring is ticked off… Fabulous shoes? Yep. Oh, and your bridal lingerie is all planned, too. What about some wedding day jewellery? A little something sparkly or shiny will complete your whole wedding outfit so we’ve found the very best wedding day jewellery for you to choose from. Hey, you’re welcome.
Jewellery choices are just as personal as the dress you choose but there are some wedding day perma-trends that will always remain in style. Diamonds will off-set any engagement ring and the fact that “diamonds are forever” will always make them a meaningful wedding day jewellery choice. Lab-grown diamonds offer more conscious alternative to mined gems, if sustainability is your priority. Recycled gold is coming through as a brilliantly considered option too.
If your bridal palette is pale, pearls will always look luxe. Their natural sheen gives you an extra glow and you can choose silver or yellow gold settings that suit your own style. Echoing the trend for botanical wedding styling, organic-looking jewellery, inspired by nature, is an eternally chic choice. Daisies, roses or leaves let you incorporate jewellery with hidden meaning into your outfit and likewise, any vintage details – whether an actual antique or something brand new with vintage vibes – will always add personality to a simple dress.
Boho dresses, like Carrie Symon’s brilliant rented dress, call for similarly ethereal jewellery. If your dress has a high-neck and long sleeves, focus on earrings, like Daisy Jewellery’s adorable Daisy earrings. If you’re having a nighttime ceremony or party, Amina Muaddi’s crystal earrings would look stunning with an up-do. The extra bling works brilliantly with more minimal dresses too.
If you’ve chosen a slip style dress or V-neck, try out a necklace, like Chopard’s diamond flower or Swarovski’s cut crystal collar – which could also be your ‘something blue’ if you’re not into a garter. (Us neither TBH.) You could bring a flash of colour to an all-white look with Thomas Sabo’s rainbow toned necklace or Jia Jia’s moonstone bracelet too. When so much stress can rest on *The Dress*, shopping for wedding day jewellery is definitely the fun part. Are you inspired?
