Things You Should Know About Choosing Bridesmaid Jewelry

Your bridesmaids are those girls you can depend on - so your bridesmaid gifts to them should be special.

How Jewelry Can Compliment the Shape of Your Face

Many brides, perhaps due to time constraints, think about accessories for their gown at the very last minute. However, they probably do not fully realize how their choice of accessories can be just as important as picking out place cards. Wedding jewelry should be worn to compliment your gown and enhance your looks. The color is important, but shape could be just as crucial, as accessories must be worn to compliment the shape of your face. For example, a round shape can be made to look longer with dangling earrings. Girls with diamond-shaped faces should stick to simple, studs, like pearl earrings, to lessen the severity of the chin. Hoops or drop shaped earrings suits almost every shape, especially heart-shaped faces. The necklace can be just as important - women with square necks should avoid choker-style necklaces and instead opt for long, slim chains to elongate the neck.

Get The Best Value on Wedding Jewelry

Weddings are a big affair, and yes, it can often mean shelling out big bucks to celebrate this special day. There’s the big details - the reception, the flowers, the dresses, but don’t forget the small ones - like your wedding jewelry. This small detail, however, can end up costing your a fortune, but that needn’t be the case. You can definitely find ways to get the best value for your wedding jewelry. First off, buying as a set can save you some money. A matching set of a necklace, earrings and bracelet can be bundled together and be discounted. Choose something you can wear again, something that will match other outfits, after all you’ll never wear that gown again. A classic pearl and crystal set will be your best choice, as these can be worn at a casual event or even at another wedding, making sure you’re getting the most for your hard-earned dollars.

Selecting your wedding color

Your wedding theme, and more importantly, your wedding color will set the tone for your entire wedding, and most, if not all, brides decide on their color before the planning begins. Your wedding color will ultimately reflect your theme. For this year, turquoise and silver seems to be the popular color for brides, but there are some daring ladies out there who use deep fuschia or even pale yellow.
One of the most important pieces which will reflect your color and theme are the bridesmaid’s dresses. Selecting them in the right tone is important, and to bring out the beauty of dresses the right accessories must be worn. Whether you choose sparkling crystals or classic pearls, these accessories can be purchased in colors which will suit any dress color.

Choosing your Winter wedding jewelry

Not everyone chooses to be a winter bride, but the beautiful snow-covered ground conjures up fantasies of winter white weddings. Going with the season, it’s safe to say silver trimming would best match your weddings, and silver jewelry and accessories are no exception. A silver necklace would best compliment a dress with a wide or open neckline, while a short silver choker-style necklace would suit more conservative decolletages. A selection of snow flake themed jewelry would wrap up gorgeous bridesmaids dresses -  beautiful silver snowflake dangling earrings, snowflake pendants or even charm bracelets will sure bring that winter wonderland into your wedding.

Choosing your Fall wedding jewelry

Autumn time is beginning to be another popular choice for weddings. Veering away from traditional pastels and bright colors, many brides love the earthy gold and yellow tones one can play with during this time of the year. The falling leaves themselves bring a natural decor to any celebration. And not just with decor, but even down to your invitations, seating cards and even your accessories. Why not have various leaf patterns as necklace and bracelet charms? Beautiful gold and yellow tones on crystal and pearl accessories will certainly top off any fall wedding entourage - from bridesmaid’s necklaces to flower girls’ charm bracelets or headpieces.

Nautical Wedding

Nautical themed weddings are very romantic and are a great way to share a love of boating and/or the sea. Having your wedding offshore or literally on the water can bring in the nautical theme in a big way.

Calla Lily Wedding Planning Ideas

Using calla lilies as a feature of your wedding is a great way to add a subtle theme to your decor. Calla lilies look beautiful when featured as centerpieces, or as part of a bouquet alongside flowers with complimentary coloured petals. They can also be used to decorate your guestbook and pen, or can be used on your ring pillow or flower basket to add interest. They even look beautiful as part of a cake design, which you can match with a cake server set with calla lily ornaments. Another idea is to add a calla lily to your wedding outfit. Although a full flower would be too bulky and overwhelming, a small brooch looks elegant with its symbolism of purity and beauty.

Beach Wedding Ideas

Beach weddings always carry with them a notion of carefree romance and fun, and couples are willing to go as far as Hawaii or Jamaica to have the beach wedding of their dreams. But just because you have the beach doesn't mean you have to skimp on style.   Long and flowing is the perfect style to catch the warm sea breeze and have it show through in your pictures. For your bridesmaids, you may want to opt for shorter dresses with bright colours so they can keep cool but still look radiant. Worrying about sand in your shoes while walking down the aisle? Consider a pair of sandals, which will still be elegant and might spare you some discomfort.

If you're looking to match the decor with the theme, try bright, vibrant colours for "pop" or incorporate a focal point, such as seashells, to unify your wedding.

Why a destination wedding?

If you and your fiance share a special place, a destination wedding may be something to consider. Destination weddings may, at first, seem like a challenge to plan, but they are a great way of bringing people together, and adding some extra fun and romance. Break the mold of the typical "destination wedding" by opening up your choice of location. Although beach destination weddings in Mexico or the Caribbean are certainly a popular choice, destinations such as Africa, Italy, Scotland, France, or, if you're prepared for a long haul, New Zealand or Australia can offer an equally picturesque and exciting experience. Once you have your destination, don't be afraid to play with it! Play with the theme of your location, a Safari wedding for Africa, a luau for Hawaii, or arrange unique activities for you and your guests, like scuba diving, or horseback riding. A destination wedding offers endless possibilities and can be unforgettable for host and guests!
