Alongside \u2018The Dress\u2019, the jewellery you wear on your big day is an essential finishing touch to make sure the bridal vision is complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is our guide to selecting the perfect pieces to complete your look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy the dress before the jewellery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It may sound obvious, but it\u2019s important that your jewellery complements the style and material of your dress. The jewellery you pair with a bohemian, floaty dress would be very different from what you\u2019d choose for an extravagant, structured gown woven with pearls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider your neckline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The neckline of your dress will influence what you wear. If you have an exposed d\u00e9colletage, a simple necklace work perfectly. A high neckline is best accompanied by some beautiful drop earrings instead. Similarly, long sleeves don\u2019t require a bracelet, but a delicate gold chain or diamond-studded bangle sets off a bare, tanned arm perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You and your dress are in the spotlight on your wedding day, and rightly so. Keep any jewellery simple – it should enhance rather than overwhelm your dress. Avoid mixing metals, wearing anything too heavy or \u2018stacking\u2019 jewellery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget your hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t think much about hair jewellery day-to-day, but your wedding day is different. Whether your hair is scooped up behind or in loose curls down your back, you will probably need some kind of accessory, such as a pin or comb, to keep it in place and out of your eyes. You may even wish to wear a tiara, for the full \u2018princess\u2019 look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve decided how you want to wear your hair and whether you\u2019ll be wearing a veil, look for something pretty to complete the style. Your hairdresser will be able to help you fit it securely, so do mention any hair jewellery when you first meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about your \u2018theme\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019re not giving your wedding a specific theme, your venue and decor will give your wedding a distinctive atmosphere. A beach wedding feels very different from one set in a stately home or a country garden, and so should the jewellery you wear. Bare feet in sand calls for a pretty ankle bracelet, where a grand venue would better suit a tiara and pearls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Resist any pressure to wear family heirlooms or \u2018traditional\u2019 wedding jewellery if it\u2019s just not your style. Your husband-to-be fell in love with you, and it\u2019s you he wants to see walking up the aisle! Find something you love – you\u2019ll keep it forever.<\/p>\n\n\n
