How to choose a bridal necklace?


What kind of necklace should I wear with my wedding dress?

A wedding is a unique event, it is no wonder that brides wish for everything to be perfect on this day. While the dress is considered one of the most important attributes of the celebration, a wedding necklace, as part of it, can improve the neckline that will show in every photo of the wedding. 

Here are a few tips on how to choose the perfect necklace for your dress:

 

Don’t overload it

 

It is important that the necklace you pick does not overshadow the beauty of the bride and dress. Therefore, it should be in harmony with your hair color, eyes, complexion, makeup, and other accessories. 

Balance is the main aspect of such selection since the necklace is an ally to enhance the style of the dress so that the image is complete.

 

Match your necklace with your dress

 

Different dress cut-outs might require a specific type of necklace. 

Pendant necklaces are suitable for V-shaped necklines, but be extra careful if your dress is decorated with rhinestones or stones in the shoulder area.

Almost any necklace is suitable for strapless models, the main thing is not to pair it with a necklace that attracts much attention. Extra-large necklaces have the potential to steal the show. It is better to opt for minimal and delicate patterns.

Round necklines agree with chokers and smaller necklaces. Remember to also repeat the choices in the earrings or hair accessories so that nothing seems out of place.

Heart-shaped necklines go well with medium and small necklaces. Elegant chains with simple pendants will look especially good here as well.

 

Stick to the classics

 

If you are uncertain, complement your dress with a delicate and graceful necklace.

Pearl necklaces have always been favorites. Pearls are associated with innocence and are very popular with brides, especially brides fond of minimalistic styles. 

If you love vintage, pearl necklaces with flowers and tiny clusters might look amazing with a retro dress.

Keep in mind that minimal wedding dresses can be completely transformed with the addition of a white stone necklace, forming a bright ensemble.

 

Choose your jewelry colors carefully

 

Sometimes, the fusion between light complexions and white shades can make you look colorless and pale, this is when a necklace can favor you by adding liveliness to the bridal jewelry, dress, and makeup.

Be careful not to mix too many gem colors here though, it can have the opposite effect and outshine the dress. 

Here is a tip: if the dress is embroidered with stones or pearls, jewelry of the same shades will look good with it, as long as they stay on the modest side.

If there is a bright element in the dress or tiara, like a blue ribbon or a flounce, the key is to find a necklace that contains stones of this color or shade to tie it all together very well. 

If you are wearing a mother-of-pearl necklace, for example, it should be duplicated in a bridal ensemble for a delicate finish.

Be yourself

When choosing jewelry, focus on personal preferences first. Then select the option for the style of the celebration. 

By adding a necklace above the neckline of your dress, you can add truly magnificent beauty and grace to your image.

Choosing a wedding necklace is an individual decision, and it requires a creative approach. There are no written rules since every woman is special and unique. This accessory should delight and bring you joy.
