It can take some brides weeks and weeks of trying dress after dress before they find 'the one'! Yet sometimes little thought is given to the jewellery for your big day.
So, you have the dress, the shoes, the hair style and headdress, just about everything is organised, but what about the jewellery? Well this all depends upon quite a number of factors, let's have a look at some of the main ones to figure out which jewellery will suit you and your dress the best.
Period of Dress Depending upon the period style of your dress is a great place to start in determining the look of the jewellery that will best suit your overall look.
So let's have a look at some of the classical periods of dress to see how we can match these up with the best jewellery: Vintage Vintage is big news this year and on and especially great for this period is Marcasite and Sterling Silver jewellery.
Marcasite may be more well known as 'fools gold' and when cut in a faceted stone it shimmers and shines like no other! In Victorian times people would buy Marcasite as their diamond alternative but now Marcasite is precious and stands proud in its own right.
They say that Sterling Silver and Marcasite are a match made in heaven and that is so true.
When these two are professionally put together, the results can be breathtaking.
Many of us can remember the fantastic film 'The Dutchess', in this film you can see Marcasite at its best and this has been replicated the world over.
So, depending on the style of dress, especially the detail and the neckline will depend upon the level of jewellery you will want to go for.
If your dress is a halter-neck design then generally necklaces are a no-go.
In this case brides can choose between a vintage inspired wrist cuff and droplet earrings as statement jewellery.
If however a necklace is wanted then a choker, perhaps made with pure silk ribbon would be a good option here and don't forget the droplet at the back.
Especially with a halter-neck design these look stunning and accentuates the back of the dress.
Cameos are also going to be big this season and beyond and if you have one that is 'borrowed' or has been handed down to you as a family heirloom, find a company that can add this to a choker or make into a necklace for you.
