Choosing the Right Wedding Jewelry in Two Short Steps
Nothing can be as memorable as your wedding. As the bride steps on to the carpet, the world stops for a minute to admire this thing of beauty that has made its entrance. From the gown, to the accessories, to the jewelry, to the bride herself, everything should glow with an aura of ethereal beauty.
However, this magical moment, starts way back months before the wedding itself. The planning of the gown, the choosing of the stylist, the choice of jewelry, everything is an integral part of the one moment every bride looks forward to.
Choosing the right jewelry helps make this memorable night more memorable. Jewelry is an integral part of wedding fashion. They could be family heirlooms worn to the altar, which could symbolize the continuation of a heritage and the symbolical companionship of the bride and grooms families.
Here are some tips to help you make the right choice of wedding jewelry and the right choice for their care and maintenance.
Choosing the Jewels
1. Heirlooms. In some cases, the jewelry the bride should wear is limited to the family heirlooms. It is common for the bride’s or the groom’s family to request that a particular jewelry piece be worn.
If this is the case, then there should be no problem choosing the jewels. All that remains is for the gown, and the other accessories, to match the jewels themselves. This might be more troublesome than not, but it is well worth the tradition.
2. Creating a new tradition. If you do not have any heirlooms to serve as your bridal centerpiece it would pay to remember that your choice of jewelry could become a tradition for your descendants. This probably puts a little more pressure on you to make the right decision regarding your jewelry.
But there are some pointers to help you choose the right jewelry, and they all depend on your style and the wedding gown you decide to wear.
First of all, take a good look at your facial shape. If your jaw line is wide, it would be best to choose jewelry that will not exaggerate this feature. Go for long-looking jewelry. Drooping earrings and long necklaces do well for this.
If you are wearing your hair long, you might want to consider wearing short earrings so that they do not clash with your style. Long earrings clash against long hair, so you might want to consider the alternative. If you are wearing your hair up, you could wear drooping earrings to emphasize your neck and your face.
Keep your jewelry elegant and simple. It should emphasize the purity of the bridal style. Try to avoid fancy jewelry with too much adornment as they could distract the people instead of lead them to admire the bride.
Remember that the highlight of the bridal march is the bride herself. The jewelry should serve to draw attention to the bride. It should complement her style and beauty and should not overshadow her instead.
Silver and gold are common choices for such occasions. However, rare gems do make a good choice instead. The principle here is that the jewels should not clash with the dress. That is the reason why colorful stones do not usually make the cut: most bridal dresses are either white or off white.
Pearl is a great choice as it blends seamlessly with the bridal dress. A mixture of pear, gold, and silver, and probably a little dash of some other stones can turn a beautiful bride into a stunning bride.
Caring for Your Jewels
Caring for wedding jewels is pretty straightforward. All you have to do is keep your jewels from scratching each other. Avoid using harsh chemicals on them. And keep them properly stored when not in use.
In ending, choosing bridal jewelry is a pretty hard decision. However, it is a decision that should be given much thought since it could have far reaching ramifications. You should choose not only for style but for sentimental value – as the jewels you choose could be passed down from generation to generation.
Your jewels, then, are not only luxury pieces, but a heritage that will only grow in significance as the years go by.
