bridal favors : What Jewelry Should You Wear To Your Wedding 1

Ever since time immemorial, brides have always relied on accents to
highlight their glow and beauty on their special day. The first stop for
this is your jewelry. But how do you choose?

First, consider is your gown and your wedding motif.

A simple gown merits an elaborate jewelry design heighten the accent.
High necks can provide the perfect backdrop for large gems serving as a
lavaliere (a pendant on a necklace). A low-cut neck makes way for a
multi-layer arrangement of gems or pearls.

As the bride, you can wear the more elaborate earrings, if you so
prefer. Gems can hang on chandelier earrings, especially if you have a
long-ish face. Studs serve to frame the face – circles for round faces,
squares for long faces.

For your wrist, a bracelet over your glove will do wonders. You can
opt to wear a watch though this is not a traditional wedding accessory.
If you absolutely need to be abreast of the time, bring a mobile phone
in your little bridal purse. This will also help keep you on top of
everything.

If your veil requires a headpiece, discuss this with your hair
designer. A tiara can be a wonderful accent, though a floral arrangement can
be a refreshing alternative. In some cases, a combination of the two
would be perfect. In any case, let the expert advise you on this.

The color depends on your preference but there are traditional choices
– pearls and diamonds. In recent years, gems have gained more
popularity to serve as a consistent thread among the jewelry of the bride and
the entourage. The color motif helps guide which stones to use –
sapphires and lapis lazulis for blue, gold and amber for yellow and orange,
emeralds and jades for greens, amethyst for pinks and purples, and
others.
