Essential Tips for Your Big Day: Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and every detail matters, especially when it comes to your jewellery. Here are five key considerations to ensure your bridal gems perfectly complement your look and leave you feeling stunning for one of the biggest days of your life!
- Match your jewellery to your dress style
The style of your wedding dress should be the foundation of your jewellery choices. If your gown is intricate and heavily embellished, opt for more delicate pieces that won’t overwhelm your look.
On the other hand, if your dress is simple and elegant, you can make a statement with bold, standout pieces. Consider the neckline, fabric, and overall vibe of your dress when selecting your jewellery to create a cohesive and harmonious look.
- Consider where your engagement ring will go
It’s traditional to switch your engagement ring to your right hand or not wear it at all on your wedding day, leaving your left hand ready for your wedding band.
If you choose not to wear it, ensure it’s stored safely, whether with a trusted friend or in a secure place. This simple act highlights the moment when you slide on your wedding band during the ceremony.
- Incorporate the tradition of wearing something old, new, borrowed or blue into your jewellery choices
Wearing jewellery that aligns with the tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” adds sentimental value to your bridal look. This could be an heirloom piece from a family member, a new pair of earrings, a borrowed bracelet from a close friend, or a sapphire necklace. These pieces not only complete your look but also carry emotional significance.
- Ensure your jewellery complements the entire ensemble
Your jewellery should enhance your overall appearance, not clash with it. Unless you’re going for a more eclectic/mixed look, make sure your pieces match each other and your dress.
The metals, gemstones, and designs should be in harmony with your dress’s colour and details. This way, your jewellery will accentuate your beauty without drawing attention away from the entire ensemble. Not sure how it looks? Gather one or two of your most trusted friends to go through the final look – dress, earrings, necklaces and all – to help you decide.
- To wear a watch or not? It’s up to you
Wearing a watch on your wedding day is entirely optional and depends on your personal style. If you’re someone who loves wearing a watch and it complements your bridal look, go for it.
However, if you feel it might distract from the elegance of the day, consider leaving it behind or choosing a dainty, feminine timepiece that blends seamlessly with your other jewellery.
By keeping these five tips in mind, you can ensure that your wedding jewellery enhances your bridal look and makes you feel both beautiful and confident as you walk down the aisle.
