In addition to choosing a stunning dress, you will also want to
find some nice accents to go along with it. In many cases, this
would be jewelry and a veil, but can include many other
accoutrements.
The jewels
For each particular style of wedding gown, you need to choose
particular styles of jewelry. And since you can't wear your gown
into jewelry stores, you will want to wear a shirt with the same
color as your dress as well as the same neckline. This is the
best way to capture the right look.
Starting with the earrings, you can look to your hair style to
determine how to dress them up. If you have a shorter style or
you're looking to pull your hair up for the wedding day, you
will want to pick longer earrings that extend towards your neck.
If you want something simpler, then diamond or rhinestone studs
can be equally beautiful.
The neck is the focal point for most brides, so you can really
dazzle them here. Look at your dress to see if you have a lot of
detail or not. If you do, you will want to choose a necklace
that's a little less extravagant. If you don't follow this
advice, you will have multiple looks competing with one another
and it can create a very confused and scattered look.
For a simple dress with a deep neckline, you should be looking
at larger pendants or a more complicated style. Pearls always
seem to work, but try on different lengths to make sure that
they complement the entire look.
Here comes the veil
While many modern brides are opting to not have a veil, they
still remain a mainstay for wedding attire. Veils today can come
with rhinestones and tiaras built in and can make a dramatic
statement as the bride enters the church.
What you want to keep in mind though is that the more
complicated the veil, the less you want to do for your jewelry.
It's another case of the competing looks and balancing the
overall effect of the details. You don't want to have so many
things going on that people forget to look at your face.
The best advice is to find one feature or one accessory that you
love and make that the most complicated thing that you wear.
Whether it's a tiara or lovely diamond earrings, choose only
one. Your pictures will thank you.
