Spring and summer are the most popular times of year for weddings. That being said, early spring to early summer are the most popular times for brides to select their own bridal jewelry and their bridesmaids bridal jewelry.
The bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses have been already ordered months ago and are now arriving for final fittings, shoe selections, accessories and that all important final touch--bridal and bridesmaid jewelry selections.
Because the selection of your bridesmaids' jewelry is an important one, here are a few items to take into consideration when making these selections. Firstly, what style of wedding are you having? Will it be at a grand ballroom or historical site? Or is your style in a garden in the afternoon? The style of bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelry you select should coordinate with the style of your wedding.
If your wedding is very formal, maybe a chunky Swarovski crystal choker would be appropriate. If your wedding is more casual or garden style, maybe a drop style necklace and simple earrings are more appropriate. So, depending upon what your wedding style is, your bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelry should flow with that style.
The second factor to consider is your wedding theme and color. Sometimes, just the wedding color is enough to make the selection, but themed weddings are very popular and if you look, you will find bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelry that coordinates with that theme.
For instance, if you were planning on having a casual but still very elegant style of wedding on a beach, there are many styles of beach bridal jewelry and beach bridesmaid jewelry that are beautiful and elegant at the same time. From shell necklaces adorned with crystals, to mother of pearl earrings, necklaces and bracelets that match, there are many selections available online and at specialty bridal boutiques.
For another example, if you were going to get married in or at a vineyard, grapes may be a theme for your wedding. If you search on the Internet for bridesmaid and bridal jewelry, you will find that there are tiaras, necklaces and earrings that have beautiful purple Swarovski crystal pearls that are designed to look like tiny grapes. Although these may not be typical ideas for wedding jewelry, they are examples of how to elegantly bring your theme into your bridal and bridesmaid jewelry.
The color of your wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses is an obvious and great way to assist you in selecting your bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelry. Whether you have a color combination or one color theme for your wedding, you can find bridal and bridesmaid jewelry that can be customized to suit your specific needs. With so many Swarovski pearl and crystal color combinations available, and new colors being created all of the time, you can select your pearl and crystal colors custom at many bridal jewelry stores online.
The third method of selecting your bridal and bridesmaid jewelry would be the style of gown you and your bridesmaids are wearing. In particular you want to pay attention to the neckline and any embellishments that are included on the bridal gowns and attendants dresses.
If there are pearls or crystals or rhinestones on your gown or your bridesmaids gowns, use that to choose your bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelry. If there are only pearls on your bridal gown, you probably want to stick with pearls, likewise with crystals. If you have combination pearl and crystal, finding bridal jewelry to match would be ideal--having the crystals and pearls incorporated into your bridal jewelry.
The neckline of your gown can also help determine the style of necklace you wear for your wedding day. If you have a plunging neckline, a long drop style necklace would work nicely in accenting the gown. If you have a halter top the best necklace selections are drop necklaces, pendant necklaces and lariats. If you have a scoop neck or strapless top gown, a choker necklace looks stunning, y-drop necklaces are also popular with style, as well as lariats and back dangle necklaces. Use your gowns as methods of judging what style of bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelry you will wear.
Whether you select your bridal and bridesmaid jewelry based on the style of wedding you have or the color of your wedding, select bridal jewelry that makes you feel beautiful. Listen to your inner bride's style to find the bridal jewelry that makes you feel like the princess for the day. You have been dreaming of your wedding day for so long, use your own style and heart to select your bridal jewelry and the bridesmaid jewelry your closest friends will wear. Have a wonderful day and Congratulations!
