Wedding day is a special event in the life of any person. But girls are especially sensitive to weddings. The bride wants to be flawless and dazzling, so everything in her image should be carefully thought out.
Many modern brides complement their look with stylish jewelry. Moreover, elite wedding jewelry looks no worse than jewelry. You just need to know how to choose the right jewelry, taking into account the outfit, face shape, hairstyle and other important nuances.
Basic Rules
When choosing jewelry, a girl, of course, should focus on personal taste. However, it doesn’t hurt to listen to the recommendations of stylists.
- Moderation . You should not try to put on your entire “stock” of jewelry at once. The bride's image should not resemble a Christmas tree.
- Harmony . All selected jewelry should fit well with each other and match the dress.
- Style . Cheap jewelry is absolutely not suitable for a wedding look. It is better to do without jewelry at all than to wear a low-quality item.
Choosing a necklace
A necklace (beads, pendant), that is, a neck decoration, is chosen in accordance with the style of the wedding dress. To choose jewelry for your wedding dress, you need to pay attention to the shape of the neckline.
- Bustier . If you choose a dress with completely open shoulders, then the choice of neck decoration is practically unlimited. However, if the bodice and especially the neckline are richly decorated with rhinestones, then the decoration should be small and elegant. In this case, it is better to move the shining accent to the hairstyle.
- Thin straps . For this outfit, we recommend a necklace in one row, a thin chain with a pendant, or a string of pearls.
- V-shaped neckline . Jewelry for such a dress should follow the shape of the neckline, that is, the ideal choice would be a chain with a pendant in the shape of a drop or a diamond. You can completely abandon the necklace, replacing it with a spectacular brooch. The image will be unconventional and very fresh.
- Strap in the form of a loop around the neck . It is better not to wear a necklace with such a dress, giving preference to other types of jewelry.
- Round neckline . This form of neckline “requires” decoration in one row, for example, a string of pearls will look good.
- Heart shaped neckline . It is recommended to wear light and elegant necklaces with this dress.
- No cutout . If the dress is made with a turtleneck or has a stand-up collar, then neck decorations should be abandoned.
Don't overdo it
Another important rule is moderation. This principle cannot be ignored, because a competent choice of a set of jewelry will make the image refined and unique. This is especially important on a day like this. Keep tact and do not turn your outfit into bad manners. If the dress has rhinestones, beads and other decorations, then it can only be emphasized with a thin, delicate pendant and the same earrings.
Choosing earrings
Earrings should be selected taking into account the shape of the face and the hairstyle you plan to do.
Most simply, for brides who have an oval-shaped face, earrings of any shape suit them. Chubby girls are recommended to wear long and narrow earrings. If your face shape is closer to a square, then it is better to choose droplet-shaped earrings, but jewelry in the shape of rectangles and diamonds should be avoided. For girls with a triangular-shaped face, pendants in the form of chains with balls at the ends are ideal.
Jewelry for hand
It is not customary to wear rings to a wedding; the only and main decoration of the fingers on this day should be a wedding ring. But bracelets can become part of a wedding look.
Of course, a bracelet is not a traditional wedding accessory, but it can harmoniously fit into the look if the bride has chosen a sleeveless dress. Of course, the jewelry on your hand should be in harmony with other details of the image.
The bracelet can be narrow or wide, rigid or with movable elements. You can wear a wide bracelet on your right hand, which turns into a ring that fits on your middle finger.
Wide bracelets decorated with shining crystals are beautiful. But when choosing this decoration, you must definitely pay attention to their quality. The crystals should be well fixed to the base, not scratch the skin or cling to clothing.
Volumetric pearl bracelets also look great. This decoration can be worn either on a bare hand or on a glove.
Wedding jewelry for the bride
Choosing jewelry is not as easy a process as it seems. Here it is worth considering the rule: less is better, but better! Accordingly, the wedding ring is the most important decoration at this event , but other jewelry should not be underestimated either. They should match not only the ring, but also the young woman’s outfit.
It is worth considering that the time of flashy cheap products has long passed, and today store windows are overflowing with costume jewelry that is not at all inferior in beauty to jewelry. In addition, if you choose an expensive piece of jewelry for a wedding, you can lose it: the bride will not be able to check whether the clasp is broken, and gold jewelry does not go with every outfit.
Photos of wedding jewelry
The most common materials used to make jewelry are glass, plastic, brass and nickel. It is decorated with decor in the form of semi-precious stones, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals , beads, crystal, zirconium, and artificial pearls.
Kits
It is best if the jewelry for the wedding dress is presented as a set. That is, this is not just a necklace and earrings, but a set in which one thing complements the other.
Pearl
Pearl jewelry is a classic choice for a wedding. A string of pearls and stud earrings is a simple and elegant set that will suit almost any look.
For an off-the-shoulder dress, you can opt for a multi-strand pearl necklace. And if the outfit has a triangular neckline, then it is better to choose a chain with a pearl pendant. In this case, the color of the metal should be selected depending on the tone of the dress; white metals are ideal for snow-white shades; for warm shades of white, it is better to choose jewelry made of yellow metal.
Crystals
Jewelry with crystals looks attractive; under the light of the sun or lamps, the crystals shine almost the same way as real diamonds. Therefore, necklaces and earrings with crystals are a great choice for a wedding. You just need to not overdo it with glitter.
That is, if the dress does not have rhinestone decor, then decorations with crystals will be appropriate, otherwise they will be clearly unnecessary.
What color of a wedding dress to choose: signs and traditions
We are used to thinking that the bride should wear white. Moreover, it is desirable that none of the guests in white come again. White is the color of innocence and purity. However, if the bride does not want to wear white, she has the right to choose any other color. Let's look at the most common colors for a wedding dress and superstitions regarding colors.
Red. Nowadays it is generally accepted that red is the color of aggression, and it is absolutely forbidden to get married in it. However, few people remember that initially in Rus' brides were given in marriage in red attire. It’s not for nothing that “red” and “beautiful” are synonymous. According to ancient Slavic tradition, a red sundress, embroidered with patterns, protected an innocent girl from an evil eye. Dark-skinned girls will definitely like the scarlet color, but fair-skinned ladies with a tendency towards redness will have to give it up.
White. A white wedding dress is a classic. This tradition came to us from Europe. Since it is the color of innocence, a woman could only marry in white once. If she remarried, she had to choose a different color. From the point of view of appropriateness, the dress is suitable for all brides, except absolutely white and black ones
A white dress will make fair skin even paler and will distract attention from the beauty of a dark-skinned bride.
Ivory, cream, ivory, champagne. All these shades have something in common - a light golden yellow. You won’t immediately understand that it’s not pure white unless you compare it. This dress will look beautiful on almost any bride. The darker the skin, the better the color will look. If you believe the signs, this color promises frequent betrayals.
Silver, metallic. Superstitious people are of the opinion that silver is the color of fragility. Therefore, such marriages quickly break up. If you don't believe in omens, you can safely shine in silver shades. The darker your skin tone, the richer gray you should choose.
Pink. Pink color will suit both light and dark skin, as long as the skin itself does not have a pinkish tint. Signs regarding the pink dress differ. Some say it means love and tenderness, others say it means material difficulties.
Black. Black is known to be the color of mourning. It is not often seen on brides unless it is a Gothic wedding. It is believed that a black dress is a sign of early widowhood. However, the bravest brides can afford such an extravagant dress. Girls with very light and dark skin should choose a different color. Black is ideal for brides with tanned skin and dark hair.
Blue. Blue promises the bride a life of indifference on the part of her husband. Dark blue colors are undesirable for girls with pale skin. Lavender or soft blue colors are more suitable for them.
Yellow. Bright yellow will look great on tanned skin, and a delicate pale yellow color will suit everyone without exception. A bride in yellow looks especially beautiful at an autumn wedding. According to signs, yellow is the color of separation; it will not allow young people to live together for more than 6 years.
Green. Green color gives young people the joy of family life, regardless of material well-being. This color has many shades. Any bride can choose the right green to suit her skin tone.
Orange. Orange color promises respect from society. If you wear orange to a wedding, people will make an example of your union. An excellent option for tanned and bright brunettes.
A few more tips from stylists
You need to choose jewelry for a wedding look very carefully, thinking through every detail. Here are some tips to help brides:
- The most popular theme for wedding decorations is flowers. Plant motifs prevail in the collections of fashion designers, and this is not surprising. The Vedas flower is a symbol of femininity and tenderness.
- When choosing jewelry, do not forget about the main rule: dresses with a laconic cut can be combined with massive jewelry, dresses with complex styles and rich decor look better with elegant jewelry.
- When creating an image, never mix jewelry of different colors. For example, a pearl bracelet should not be worn if the neckline is decorated with a necklace with crystals.
- To accurately select jewelry, you should first decide on the theme of the wedding, choose your general style, and only then purchase additions to it. Only in this case the image will be complete and harmonious.
General style
Proper selection of accessories requires the right combination of all elements. Keep everything in the same style, taking into account the style and style of the dress.
Today it is fashionable to organize a wedding celebration in various styles. If you have decided on a specific direction, then stick to this style, choosing everything in one set - from the dress to the earrings.
It is important to remember that jewelry should be harmoniously combined with the color of the dress and match the color of the skin, eyes and hair. Hair and makeup should match the jewelry and complement each other. Then the image as a whole will be complete.
