If you talk to just about any bride she will tell you that her wedding dress was beautiful the first time she tried it on, but when she tried it on with her wedding jewelry it was breathtaking.A stunning combination is the tieing together of the perfect wedding gown with matching jewelry that makes everything come together so that the bride sees the picture she has thought about all her life. Many brides-to-be know that jewelry is important but they downplay it because they don’t have the funds to buy the items that they want, or at least that is what they think.
Many brides and grooms plan their wedding and they lose sight of one thing and that is the fact that their wedding day is just that, one day.By keeping this in mind when you are looking for jewelry you will see that you don't have to spend a lot of money purchasing wedding jewelry.As an alternative, you can look for less expensive jewelry which may not be suitable for wearing every day but wwould look great for one special occasion. Lacking special pieces of jewelry that you can borrow from friends or members of your family, and lacking a veryy large amount of money to spend on jewelry just for the wedding, you should not get hysterical;instead, just take the time to look at a variety of stores.
If you don’t have a lot of money and don’t have loaner pieces from your friends or family members you can spend as little as $50 and have all of the jewelry that you need and then some.Maybe it appears cheap but it makes sense to look at your major local stores for deals on your bridal jewelry and there is no reason to think that anyone will know about it. Simply shop for pieces that you like and that will compliment your gown, which is what it is all about.You can spend less than thousands. If you find a pair of inexpensive Swarovski crystal wedding earrings that you love and you think will look great, then go for it! When you are buying your wedding jewelry it shouldn’t be about cost but about what you are comfortable with both where price and style are concerned.It is surprising at how much you can purchase today by spending only a very few dollars.
You do not have to let a frugal budget prevent you from having the wedding jewelry you would like to have on your wedding day.Todays artificial gems are as beautiful as the natural stones in many cases and unless you decided to tell no one would know and they would have no reason to think otherwise!

Bridal Jewelry – How to Accessorize Your Wedding Day Look

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:19:05 +0000

OK ladies, here's music to your ears (and neck, and wrist)... now that you've got your wedding dress, it's time to accessorize it! There's no doubt about it, the right baubles perfect your wedding ensemble. Here's what you need to know to accessorize like a pro.

Bridal Jewelry Style Tips

Keep it Simple
Before the fun begins, please heed this advice. When it comes to your bridal jewelry, less really is more. Simple jewelry makes a timeless fashion statement; overdo it and you risk a phone call from Diddy asking for his bling back.

Formality Rules
Along with all other accessories, the bride's jewelry, should reflect the formality of the wedding celebration. A small, informal wedding calls for simple jewelry, while a large, formal wedding calls for more elaborate pieces.

Complement the Gown
Wedding dress style also plays a major roll in jewelry selection. As a general rule - the more detailing on the gown, the simpler the jewelry, while a dress calls for added embellishment.

Let Your Neckline Lead the Way
Your dress neckline will guide you towards what pieces and styles you'll wear. Many gowns are strapless or have low necklines, which is a perfect style to showcase a great necklace. If your gown has a high neckline, you may want to forego the necklace and concentrate on finding the perfect earrings.

Make It You
Above all, wedding day duds should reflect your personal style. So stick to studs if you've never worn chandeliers, and if you've never left the house without your favorite strand of pearls - around your neck is where they should be when you say "I do."

Pick your Metals:

The shade of your wedding dress will guide you to which metals work best:

If your dress is white - choose platinum or silver jewelry, as yellow gold may clash with stark white.

If your dress is off-white - either golds or silvers/platinums will work.

If your dress is ivory - the slightly yellowish undertones call for gold jewelry.

Pick Your Gems:

Pearls - A Classic Choice
The tradition of pearl bridal jewelry stems back to the ancient Greeks, who believed pearls promoted marital harmony. And of course, style icon Jackie O donned a strand the day she became Mrs. Kennedy, further cementing pearls as the refined gem of choice for brides everywhere.

Diamonds - The BFF of Jewelry
Diamonds didn't get their "girl's best friend" status for nothing. They're always good to add a touch of sparkle to your wedding dress. The good news for your wallet is that faux varieties work just as well.

Add Some Color
Of course, colored stones/gems present a great way to incorporate some color into your wedding day look, so don't shy away from blues, pinks, yellows - you name it.

Pick your Pieces

Necklaces:

The Choker: The classic choker features one to three strands worn close around the neck. This length works well with a jewel or bateau neckline, as it may get lost if too much skin is showing.

The Collar: This Victorian style consists of three or more strands fitting securely around the middle neck. This length is a great accent to a low or strapless neckline.

The Princess: This length falls about 16 inches to the hollow of the neck and often supports a pendant. This style works with almost any but a high neckline.

The Matinee: This style hits the top of the bust and looks great with a bateau, jewel, or a lower neckline with sheer fabric covering the decolletage area.

The Opera: The opera necklace is a long single strand falling below the bust. It creates a dramatic look when paired with a very high neckline.

Earrings:

Keep your earrings simple if your necklace is especially large or grand. You also may not want to wear earrings at all if you're wearing a tiara - as the two may compete. On the other hand - if you're going sans necklace, consider highlighting your look with elaborate earrings. Remember, the key to accessorizing is balance.

Deck your Wrist?

Although not as common as necklaces and earrings, brides can wear a bracelet with sleeveless, short-sleeve, and three-quarter sleeve gowns. However, a watch is best left at home on your wedding day unless it's a family heirloom or antique.
