A wedding is a unique event in the life of every woman. It is important that everything at the holiday is perfect. The bride's outfit is considered one of the most important attributes of the celebration. A wedding necklace, as part of it, can either improve or ruin an image. It all depends on the preferences of the bride and a number of individual nuances.

How and what kind of necklace should a bride choose for her wedding?
Which wedding necklace to choose from the many offers? What should you pay attention to and what should you take into account? Stylists advise following several recommendations when choosing this wedding decoration. Following them, you can choose exactly the necklace that will not only decorate your wedding dress, but will also become one of your favorite jewelry
Necklace that creates a harmonious image of the bride
The wedding necklace should be in harmony with the image of the bride
When choosing a necklace for such an important occasion, avoid too flashy jewelry. Ideally, nothing should go beyond a gentle, soft image
The wedding necklace should be in harmony with its shape and color with the bride’s outfit. If a dress, for example, is embroidered with silver threads, then a yellow gold necklace will indicate poor taste. You also need to take into account the shade of the stones. The traditional wedding stone pearl can be not only white, it also has other shades - pink, blue, gray, which allows you to choose jewelry to match the shade of the wedding dress. A white, light beige, mother-of-pearl necklace will go well with a white dress; it can be made of yellow or rose gold or silver. A gold or cream necklace goes well with the beige color of the dress.
Matching shape and cut
The wedding necklace should match the cut of the wedding dress and beautifully emphasize the neckline. If the wedding dress is of a simple cut without any frills, then you can choose a slightly brighter, larger and more noticeable necklace, which will be the main accent of the outfit.
If the wedding dress attracts the main attention, then choose a discreet necklace that will only emphasize the beauty of the dress and complement the overall image of the bride
If you have chosen a luxurious and fairly large necklace, then your dress should not have sleeves or even straps. A Y-shaped necklace or choker will go well with a dress with dropped shoulders. The same choker or necklace that follows the shape of the neckline will match the U-shaped neckline of the dress. The V-neck allows you to wear a layered, short or short necklace with a pendant that goes down into the valley of the chest. If you choose a dress with an asymmetrical top, then you will have to give up the necklace. Otherwise, the decoration will add unbalance to the entire image and will look unnatural.
The necklace should take into account the features of the bride’s appearance
When choosing a wedding necklace, you need to take into account the features of the bride’s appearance. So, for a bride with a thin and long neck, you should choose a shorter necklace. For those who have a full and short neck, a choker necklace will be the worst choice - an elongated necklace is best here.
Brides with a narrow, thin face should not choose an elongated necklace, as it will visually elongate it even more. Here it is better to choose a short necklace with rounded stones and large rhinestones or a pearl choker. But a rectangular face will be balanced by a V- or Y-shaped necklace (read more about combining different types of necklaces with different neckline shapes).

How to choose the right necklace for a wedding dress?
In order to properly balance a wedding look, it is not enough just to choose jewelry. It is necessary to take into account a number of recommendations from stylists that will allow you to maintain harmony in the image:
- It is necessary to select a neck decoration so that it fits harmoniously into the ensemble of the image. You can often come across a mistake when a necklace stands out against the background of an outfit, attracting unnecessary attention.
- The bride's necklace at the wedding should match the basic style of the rest of the jewelry.
- It is necessary to choose a necklace, taking into account the style of the dress, as well as the transitions between the main accents of the bride’s image.
- It is not recommended to mix different metals of jewelry in one look. This will only show the bride's lack of taste. All decorations must be made in the same material, maximum adjacent to the main one.
- The more the bride likes the necklace, the more confident she will feel at the celebration.

General principles for choosing wedding jewelry
When choosing jewelry for your wedding, consider the following important points:
Jewelry should highlight the beauty of the bride without drawing attention to itself. Jewelry should match the style and color of the wedding dress, and also ideally emphasize the neckline of the wedding dress. Jewelry (necklace, earrings, bracelet) should be in harmony with each other, so an excellent solution would be to buy a set of jewelry that will be made from the same material. You should not wear all the jewelry at once to the wedding - necklace, earrings, bracelet, rings, so as not to overload the wedding look. Give preference to individual tandems, for example, earrings + necklace
In addition, know when to stop: do not wear a massive necklace at the same time as large earrings, so as not to overload your wedding look. It’s better not to wear rings to your wedding; the only decoration on your fingers is your wedding ring. There are, of course, exceptions - this is a ring that comes complete with a necklace and earrings, or an engagement ring, on top of which the wedding ring is worn during the wedding ceremony. A watch is not the best accessory for a bride, even if it is very beautiful. As a replacement for a watch, you can choose a bracelet that is suitable only for maximally open dresses. But if you chose a dress with long sleeves for your wedding or decided to wear gloves, then it is better to refuse the bracelet.
Can't buy expensive jewelry? Pay attention to modern costume jewelry, because as Coco Chanel said: “People with good taste wear costume jewelry. Everyone else has to wear gold!”
Perhaps this is just about you!

Brides often choose handmade jewelry for their wedding ceremony. This is due to the fact that girls want to put a piece of themselves into the details of the celebration so that it is unique: from glasses to a pillow for rings. Bridal decoration is no exception. Why buy a product if you have the desire and opportunity to make an amazing necklace yourself. One of a kind, such decoration will reflect the creative personality of the newlywed.
For the process of creating a necklace, a variety of beads, crystals, polymer clay, and most importantly, the desire to create can be useful. After watching the step-by-step master class presented in the video below, which shows all the stages of making a necklace for the newlywed, you can independently create a unique accessory for your wedding dress.
Choosing earrings
The earrings should match the jewelry you have chosen for your neck and hair. Bridal salons often sell kits that make it easier to find wedding jewelry.
Earrings come in different sizes, colors, materials, and with a variety of clasps.
- Carnations. The familiar stud earrings have an elongated shape, without any hanging parts. They are motionless, tightly attached to the lobe. The decorative part of the earrings can be decorated with multi-colored stones, covered with enamel, and rhinestones. Small stud earrings, stylized as pearls, look very beautiful and feminine. They will go well with beads or cameos.
- Clips. This jewelry is for those who do not have pierced ears, but really want to wear earrings. The clips are firmly attached to the earlobe using a special fastener. They can be decorated in any way you like and even have pendants. You should not take clips that are too heavy; there is a chance that they will come off during dancing or sudden head movements.
- Rings. Hoop earrings are not exactly a wedding option. But they are suitable for an unconventional bride who refuses full skirts and veils.
- Pendants. Drop earrings are very popular among brides. They look elegant and formal. The pendant can be in the form of a drop, a flower or just a chain.
Cuffs. Fashionable cuffs are suitable for themed weddings. This decoration, which is attached to the earlobe, can be combined with earrings.

Such beautiful wedding accessories will take the bride's breath away, and guests will cast admiring glances at you.

However, cheaper wedding jewelry in the online store is selected in such a way as to satisfy a wide variety of tastes and suit different budgets. Every piece of bridal jewelry is checked by our purchasing specialists, so you can be confident in its quality.
Brooches
So, let's start with brooches - this accessory has been firmly established in the fashion industry since Soviet times and is currently particularly popular.
Beaded brooches are the most popular now. This decoration can complement any look and add some zest to it.
Brooches come in a wide variety of forms: both in the form of animals and birds, and in the form of flowers and leaves. Brooches look perfect when paired with a formal business suit, slightly diluting the look and adding a touch of grace and sophistication.
Thanks to the presence of beads of all colors and shades, when making an accessory you can work out every detail to the smallest detail. A fairy tale theme is also appropriate.
A brooch in the shape of a dragon or unicorn will perfectly complement any look and add self-confidence to its owner.
Decorating the neckline area
In various wedding salons and on thematic websites you can find a myriad of different pendants, beads, pendants and necklaces. In order not to get confused in the assortment, keep in mind that the shape of the jewelry should match the shape of your face. So, for example, an elongated long necklace, chain or pendant is suitable for chubby ladies, but it is not advisable to buy jewelry of the “collar” type, under the throat.
An elongated face type can be emphasized with the help of a rounded short necklace with round stones and pearls. Y or V shaped jewelry is suitable for a rectangular face. They will visually lengthen the face.
For girls with a triangular face shape, we can recommend multi-tiered complex jewelry that will balance a sharp chin compared to a wide forehead.
Of course, the necklace or beads should match the neckline of the bride's dress. You shouldn't buy massive stones if you have an elegant boat neckline. It’s good if you try on all the jewelry, dress and gloves together.
It is impossible to describe all possible jewelry for the neck and décolleté, so let’s look at the most common ones, suitable for almost any dress.
Beads. Long or short beads made from small or large beads are a classic decoration, a sign of simplicity and elegance. You can match beads to almost any neckline. At the same time, it is desirable that the earrings also have beads for harmony. And lovers of extravagance can choose beads of atypical shapes, for example, with diamond-shaped, oval or rectangular beads.
Necklace. This beautiful word refers to a neck decoration in the form of a hoop, the central part of which is highlighted in one way or another. The center of the necklace is always wider. This part may contain various stones, flowers, beads, rhinestones. But remember that everything is good in moderation. A necklace that is too powerful and flashy will overshadow the dress and the bride herself. Decoration should complement, and not exist separately.
- Necklace. This is a decoration in the form of a hoop, usually short, located close to the neck. The necklace can be one-piece, braided, sectional, have rhinestones and sparkles. There are several types of necklaces: collar, collar, choker (multi-tiered necklace).
- Pendants. It’s rare to see small, elegant pendants or large, catchy ones at weddings. This is not the most common type of jewelry for the bride. However, if the wedding is stylized, then this option is also suitable.
Pendants with massive stones. This is a decoration for bright brides. Such pendants are not suitable for all girls and not for every dress. This bold option will look great with a short dress or pantsuit.
Cameos. Delicate and sophisticated cameos will come in handy at a vintage wedding. Cameos combine bead details and a pendant usually with a carving of a woman's profile. This decoration goes well with a casual floor-length dress and a hairstyle decorated with flowers.
Chains. Chains are perhaps the rarest decoration for weddings. However, massive jewelry made from woven chains will look good at a rock and roll wedding. Sometimes brides wear their favorite chain, which brings them good luck.
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.

What necklaces are considered wedding necklaces?
A classic wedding necklace is a gold (different shades of gold) necklace with pearls. The choice of pearls here is not random. After all, it is he who is a symbol of chastity and beauty.

Floral and plant motifs are back in trend (read our article on fashionable necklaces), which is perfect for a wedding necklace. Delicate orchids, cheerful asters or passionate roses will highlight the image and slightly reveal the bride’s character.
Hair ornament
You can decorate your hair in a variety of ways. True, if you have a veil, the choice is somewhat limited. Usually you choose the right number of elegant hairpins and a small hairpin or tiara. But, if you decide to abandon the veil, the choice of hair accessories is much wider. Remember that before choosing wedding jewelry, you need to decide on the dress and hairstyle. This will help you decide on accessories faster.
- Combs. A beautiful decoration for a high hairstyle. Combs can be decorated with stones, flowers, rhinestones, and have various designs and patterns. Combs also go well with a fluffy veil. But remember that the abundance of stones and other details on the comb can make the hairstyle heavy and extremely uncomfortable to wear.
- Spirals. Small spirals, decorated with rhinestones, flowers and other cute details, are literally screwed into the finished hairstyle, hold tightly and look very beautiful. Unlike stilettos, metal does not adhere so tightly to the skin and does not cause as much discomfort.
- Hairpins. A traditional decoration that almost no wedding hairstyle can do without. Hairpins can be without decoration or decorated with rhinestones in the form of fancy shapes, butterflies, and flowers. The number of hairpins depends on the complexity of the hairstyle and the thickness of the hair. Your master will advise you how many and what kind of hairpins you need to buy.
- Invisible. Bobby pins are needed to hold the hairstyle together. They are usually selected in a standard black or metallic color. But under certain circumstances, you can purchase absolutely luxurious invisible ones that cannot be distinguished from real jewelry. The main thing is that they do not get lost against the background of other decorations and are in harmony with them.
- Wreaths. Wreaths are not always artificial or fresh flowers. You can find small wreaths made of stones and rhinestones as the base of a veil or as a separate decoration. It looks original and cute.
- Clamps. Clips are not often used to create wedding hairstyles. They have a convex part that can catch and damage a veil or other accessories. A skilled craftsman will be able to adapt this decoration so that it looks organic and beautiful.
- Headbands and tiaras. These jewelry can be used with or without a veil. Tiaras decorated with sparkling stones will make ladies feel like a real princess. The headbands are simpler, but no less sophisticated. They are more suitable for dresses in Greek style or vintage style.
