Being a bridesmaid is a great honour, but it also comes with its share of worries. From choosing the right dress to making sure your hair and makeup are on point, there's so much to prepare for! In the rush to make things perfect for the wedding, make sure you take time to choose the right jewellery. The right pieces can really elevate your look and make you shine (but not outshine the bride) on her big day. Here are some tips on how to choose jewellery as a bridesmaid.
Consider which dress you will wear
The first thing to consider when choosing jewellery is the bridesmaid’s dress. The style and colour of the dress will have a big impact on the type of jewellery you should wear. If the dress is simple and understated, you can go for more statement pieces. If the dress is already busy or has a lot of detail, it's best to keep the jewellery simple.
Match the metal
Next, consider the metal of the jewellery you choose. If the dress has silver accents, choose silver jewellery. If the dress has gold accents, opt for gold jewellery. This will ensure that the overall look is cohesive and polished.
Think about the neckline
The neckline of the dress should help you decide the type of jewellery you will wear. If the dress has a high neckline, a choker or simple necklace will do. If the dress has a plunging neckline, a pendant necklace or a pair of statement earrings will be more appropriate.
Personalise it
Jewellery is a great way to add a personal touch to your bridesmaid look. Choose pieces that reflect your personal style, whether that's dainty and delicate or bold and chunky. This will make you feel confident and comfortable on the big day. You can also wear a personalised necklace or bracelet with your name as the focal design point.
Don't overdo it
When it comes to jewellery, less is often more. Avoid overloading on multiple pieces, as this can look too cluttered. Stick to one or two pieces, such as earrings and a necklace or a bracelet and earrings.
Follow these tips, you'll shine as a bridesmaid with the right jewellery. You’re now all set to dazzle!
