Necklaces for brides come in all shapes and styles. Your bridal necklace plays a key role in your wedding look and you should choose it very carefully. To help you out, here are five simple tips that can make picking the right bridal necklace a breeze.<\/p>\n
Generally brides should only wear two statement pieces of jewellery so, if you are going with the trend for large elaborate drop earrings, you should consider forgoing the necklace entirely, or picking something very understated. If you select large and detailed necklace, wear small stud earrings and make sure your hair accessories are kept to a minimum. If you choose to do without a bridal necklace you can always balance the look with a stunning bracelet.<\/p>\n
Your wedding jewellery should highlight the theme of your dress so take a look at the detail on your wedding gown. Does it feature beads, crystals, pearls, or diamante? If you have picked a plain dress you\u2019re free to choose an intricate necklace, but if your gown is very detailed, go with a very simple wedding necklace. If you wear a vintage style dress, look out for antique jewellery from the same era, and if you\u2019ve chosen a modern contemporary gown consider an edgy necklace design.<\/p>\n
Necklaces for brides should follow the neckline of the dress so if your gown has a round shaped neckline, try to find a choker style necklace, and if you have a v-neck or sweetheart neckline think about a longer pendant. Many bridal gowns are strapless, meaning there is plenty of skin on show. You may choose to buy a large multi-strand necklace to prevent you looking a bit bare around the neck and shoulders. Beading all the way around the neck can provide detail, and strings of beads that create a pattern when laid flat against the throat are also fashionable. Dresses with a high or very detailed neckline could look better without a bridal necklace.<\/p>\n
