WEDDING GUIDEJEWELLERYOld, new, borrowed or
blue, it8217s the final
touches that make all
the difference.The ring is not just the only
important piece of jewellery for a
bride, the accessories that go with
the dress really can make a huge impact
so it is important to look for the right
sort of pieces to complement the dress
rather than hide it.
The dress should dictate the jewellery
but many brides wearing large dresses
with crystals and pattern all over them
often go for large elegant pieces to wear
with it, beautiful in their own right but a disastrous
combination. Less is more so for a dress that is extravagant,
complement it with a subtle and delicate piece or for a simple
dress with less pattern and detail, a bold necklace can make a
very graceful statement.
The best way to choose earrings is to place them next to the
dress, however since no bride will want to take a wedding dress
on a shopping trip it is advisable to take a swatch sample or a
piece of material similar in colour and texture.
With vintage jewellery making a huge comeback in recent
years, it is always worth asking grandparents. They may still
have some gorgeous vintage pieces kicking about from their
wedding. Not only is this a great money saving idea, but it also
adds a special, personal finishing touch with a story to it.COURTESY OF SWAROVSKIA bold necklace is perfect

necklines and complements
the dress perfectly.COURTESY OF ERICKSON BEAMONThis stunning drop necklace and
