1.Faking It is Fine!
It makes no difference whether you can afford the real diamonds
or pearls or only the imitation. The quality of Faux diamonds,
gems, and pearls is so good you'll need a gemologist to tell
the difference. Gone are the days were anyone could tell real
from fake. You can look like a million dollar babe and spend
pennies.
2. Earrings
The best way to choose the right earrings is to try them on
with your gown. The style of earrings you choose will depend
on the neckline of your gown, and what style of necklace you
choose to wear. You'll want your earrings noticeable but not
the focal point. That's what your gown's job is. Zirconia's
and faux pearls look rich and elegant. A short dangle earring
looks glamorous and adds a bit of sparkle. If you decide not
to wear a necklace you can choose more dramatic earrings like
chandeliers.
3. Faux Pearls
Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but on her wedding day
faux pearls can truly be a bride's best friend. Pearls are a
traditional piece of jewelry that has been worn by brides for
ever. Recently they've turned up their fashion statement a bit
and now are available in a variety of color choices and sizes.
If you want to keep to tradition but stay fashionable the new
imitation pearls are a great choice!
4. Heirlooms
If you are lucky enough to have a fabulous piece of jewelry
that's a family heirloom there is no better time to wear it
and what a wonderful sentiment to add to your wedding day! If
you don't have a family heirloom in your possession but feel
you'd like to wear one don't be afraid to ask family members
to borrow a piece of jewelry you adore or that has special memories
for you. They'll be honored that you asked and it's a perfect
way to cover "something borrowed." Wearing jewelry that's close
to your heart is a nice touch to your special day.
5. Vintage jewelry
Continues to be hot and it can lend an added dimension to your
bridal look. If you have a favorite piece of vintage jewelry
and it works with your gown then wear it. If a dear friend has
a piece you love then ask if you can borrow it. Vintage jewelry
popularity has no signs of slowing down and will continue for
quite some time to be a top choice for brides.
6. Color
Colorful jewelry is a great way to spice up your look. Faux
rubies, emeralds, and sapphires can add richness and glamour
to your bridal look. Just remember a little color is very good,
but don't go overboard and take away from your beautiful gown.
7. Dare to Be Bare
Choosing your bridal jewelry can be a bit overwhelming. How
do you know what looks best with your wedding dress? Do your
earrings match with your necklace? Do you like the look. If
you want to avoid all those stressful decisions then dare to
be bare! Keep it simple, skip a necklace, wear tiny stud earrings.
Rather use the design of your gown to flatter you. You can also
forego wearing a bracelet. If you're going to wear gloves, a
bracelet is absolutely out! So if in doubt go with the basics
that will present elegance and charm!
8. Hair Jewelry
There are plenty of choices for your hair jewelry. Tiara's are
always very popular. Sparkling crystal and rhinestone clips
are always a nice touch adding a little sparkle.
The most important thing to remember is to keep
your gown the center of attention after that it's your day and
you get to choose. Wear what makes you feel good and you'll automatically
look good!
